Article by Andreas Pittatziis *:
What will be the result of the ballot box, only the ballot box can tell us. But regardless of the result, with sacred respect to the rivals of each of you and without underestimating them in the slightest; I have to make my own soul deposit.
In the stone years of this crisis, I saw you all sitting at the same table, at the same table and caring together to fight for this marginalized Province, most of which you won. And while every corner of Cyprus looked at us with contempt, you stood high and saw them equally. No party labels and dependencies, no idols, far from micro-politics and petty interests. Red, blue and blue, become one άσπρο the white of hope to create better living conditions for us and our children.
You have achieved projects of millions, provincial status and recognition, receiving European Funds, but your biggest project was another: You made us believe that this soil is neither right nor left, but Famagusta. That if we do not love and if we do not all support our place together from Dasaki to Kapparis, failure will be common.
I wish you good luck in the upcoming elections. Whatever the outcome, lose or win, I want you to know that in the eyes and soul of even one citizen of the Province, you have given me what I have been missing for years. What I could hardly cultivate in my children, that with so much agony I revive… hope! Thank you! Theodore Pyrilli, Giannis Karousos, Andrea Karagianni, George Takka.
