Intense "no" of the municipal team of DISY in Tragola for the mayor of Famagusta

With intense irritation and without any room for questioning their intentions to clash with the party leadership, the municipal councilors of DISY in Famagusta received the information that AKEL was going to respond to the proposal of DISY for a consensual candidacy between the parties for the city. , with the name of the director of the Fire Service Markos Tragola.

Evaluating the veteran football player of Anorthosis from DIKO as a "candidacy unrelated to Famagusta", the municipal team of DISY recorded its disagreement in a meeting yesterday and is waiting for the result of the consultations of Famagusta MP Giorgos Geopas.

According to information transmitted by "Politis", today, Mr. Georgiou of DISY is expected to have meetings with other parties on the issue of the Famagusta town hall, while on Saturday AKEL is expected to take its own decisions in a provincial conference. DISY decides on Monday at the political office on the person he will choose for the Municipality of Famagusta. Any support for a Tragola candidacy by DISY should be taken for granted from now on that it will have one or more candidacies from the party.

However, the name of Markos Tragolas for the Municipality of Famagusta also provoked reactions in AKEL. According to information cited by "Politis", party officials expected that AKEL would respond to the initiative of Averof Neophytos with a purely party choice, in order for the Municipality of Famagusta to return to the Left.

On the other hand, DISY was expected by AKEL to nominate a person from DISY, as the party of the Right did in 2003 after the appointment of the then mayor of Famagusta, Kiki Kazamia. AKEL's trap with the promotion of a single name for dialogue with DISY may become a boomerang for the party, in case DISY says "yes" to Tragolas, but AKEL rejects this option in its competent party bodies. The fact that the name Tragola was leaked to the media as AKEL's choice, before the party even made relevant decisions and before it even reached the rest of its proposals, is indicative of this trap.

The municipal team of DISY in Famagusta, however, set some criteria yesterday for the new mayor of the occupied city, taking into account the critical moments that Varosi is going through with its previously announced settlement by the Turkish Cypriots and Turkey. The characteristics that the new mayor of Famagusta should have, according to what was said at yesterday's meeting of the municipal team of DISY Famagusta, is a political displacement and a history of participation and presence in the events of the Municipality of Famagusta in the free and occupied areas. As it turns out, the bar was set high by the Famagusta residents of DISY, who do not discuss party options that will not take into account the stakes for Famagusta in the current historical context, but are determined by party criteria.
