Regarding the possibility of his candidacy in the Archbishop's elections, Metropolitan Vassilios of Constantia was placed, speaking on the SIGMA show "Mesimeri and Something".
As he characteristically mentioned, in principle to express my sympathy towards His Beatitude and out of respect for his person, because my own position is that from the moment the Archbishop is on his throne, even with his impaired health, no it would be wise of me to start saying that I will claim the throne.
He added, however, that from the moment the issue is raised, "as it is also included in the statute of the church, not only the Metropolitans and the Bishops but also every clergyman who has the necessary qualifications included in the statute, in the same way and I will contest if it is possible and the people want to vote for me, then yes I will be interested. But at the right time," he concluded.
