Let Averov accept the fact that he was defeated by the “narrator”

The Patriarch’s

Yesterday’s statement by Averof Neofitos raised two questions, which the President of the Republic strongly criticized.

The first is a question of form, the second is a question of substance. However, there is another extremely important aspect to the issue of journalism.

If we are talking about attempts to create an impression and an image, I would say that the title of the Averof Neophytos email alone creates that: “Averof Neophytos Press Office”.

Another reads “Press Office,” imagining a group of people working in an organization with a dedicated press service. In reality, it is an electronic message written and sent by Averof Neofytou, but “Press Office” gives it another kind of prestige and weight.

Obviously, a member of Congress can have an opinion and a position on the President and his actions and policies, but when he belongs to a political party, such a position is expressed by that party and not by each individual member, even if he is a member of the leading party.

Everyone is aware of what kind of image DISY would create if all MPs made statements about the President without consulting each other and without consulting the political parties. Babylonia.

Let’s get to the point.

“This country needs a leader, not an apathetic commentator or a TV show hunter,” Averof-Neofitou wrote in the statement.

If this statement had been made by Nikos Anastasiadis, one could give it more weight, since he does not harbor the same pain as Averof Neophytou, as the leader of the largest party that lost to Nikos Christodoulidis and called for a second round of voting to vote for Andreas Mavroyiannis, who is supported by AKEL.

There is no reason to elaborate on the other points of Averof Neofitos’ statement, as it is generally believed that he must want to avenge his defeat in the presidential election. His criticism is considered to be justified, as he himself was successful as the leader of the ruling party for ten years, while Cypriots were dormant for seven years. The same is true for the economy.

He should acknowledge that his ambition to become president led him and his party to one of the biggest defeats in recent years. He should also acknowledge that Anita Dimitriou is the leader of the party, rather than trying to replace her.

The word failure itself is negative, don’t turn it into defeatist empathy.
