The cube was thrown for the repatriation of Zacharias Koulias to DIKO.
The Central Committee approved a proposal of the President of the Party, for an open invitation to participate, to all those who left or were expelled from the party, provided that they do not belong to another party and do not participate in the Anastasiadis government.
Now, the ball is at the feet of the Famagusta MP, who, at the moment, is keeping a low profile.
However, according to information, Zacharias Koulias, after examining the options before him and consulting with his close associates, will announce his decision, which is placed around the memorial of the late Tassos Papadopoulos that will take place next Sunday. December 7.
According to the Spokesperson of DIKO, Christiana Erotokritou, "that is why we took the political decision as a general principle that we address a first and foremost invitation to all party executives who distanced themselves, resigned, were deleted or removed without any exception party but also in the wider society ".
At the moment when the issue of the return of former executives was raised, the former President of DIKO, Marios Karoyan, left the session saying that Koulias is trying to return to the party, a fact which, as he said in the past, is red line.
The action of MP Zacharias Koulias, after the parliamentary elections of 2011, to vote for the President of EDEK Giannakis Omirou for the Presidency of the Parliament and not the then President of DIKO, Mario Karoyan, was characterized by the latter as a torpedo in the democratic institutions, as a from the darkest pages in the history of democracy and as a vote of apostasy. Subsequently, Zacharias Koulias was expelled from the party's Executive Office for manipulative anti-party behavior, according to the then DIKO leadership.
With today's decision, the Central Committee of the party, opens the door of return to the MP of Famagusta and to anyone who embraces the policy of the party and wishes to be actively involved. "What separated us in the past should not and cannot be an obstacle today in the effort to claim that will judge the future of Cyprus," said Ms. Erotokritou. Defining the political axis
The Central Committee also decided on the political axes on which the party will move in the future.
On the one hand, the change from the wrong, as it is characterized, strategy and tactics of the government in the Cyprus issue is welcomed, and on the other hand, the necessity of a change of direction in the economy is stated through, as mentioned, the renegotiation of specific aspects of the memorandum.
From the suggestion of the President of DIKO, the beginning of the process of clearing the register of members from 2015, which in the February party elections numbered about 39000 members, stands out. A development that, according to credible sources, also sends a message to internal party opponents, who are waiting for the opportunity to challenge the party leadership.
