T
he presidential elections are over and the majority of those who voted has re-elected Nikos Anastasiadis. The result of the elections, on the one hand, does not satisfy us, and on the other hand it is respected, since it expresses the verdict of the Cypriot people. As EDON, we want to thank the hundreds of volunteers, EDON men and women, who gave their own fight in every corner of Cyprus for the election of Stavros Malas, with altruism and self-denial.

Unfortunately, we gave the fight for discharge from DISY-Anastasiadis governance on our own, both in the first and in the second round. The forces of the so-called Intermediate Area, which supported “the release from the previous government” during the election campaign (in round 1), turned their backs to the Cypriot people (in round 2), because they did not support the opponent of Mr. Anastasiades. With Mr Anastasiades’ policies, we are separated by chaos. We have a radically different perception. Mr. Anastasiades ruled for 5 years with feasibility and gave too many to the few and very few to the many. On the other hand, the composition of the new Ministerial Council by Mr. Anastasiades does not surprise us. We had no doubt that Mr Anastasiades’ pre-election rhetoric on a government of “broad acceptance” would result in the formation of a single-party government. Our struggle never stopped after the elections. We will continue to defend and claim the rights of the new generation, the rights of the workers.
