I am not a partisan and to explain, I never dealt with party factions until I was proposed to run for a seat in the Municipal Council of Sotiras with DIKO. I lived through the election campaign for the 2011 municipal elections. After that I realized that there is a vast hatred between us for the people of the opposing parties as if they are Turks and not people who speak the same language, have the same religion and live in the same place. with us. Imagine all this happening in a small community. In short, I lived in my own world and I did not think we were in this place.
After the latest developments in our country, I woke up again in a different world. We received a storm of information about who is to blame and who is not to blame, what parties and politicians should have done and not done, what bankers should and should not have done, what they should and should not do they must then do to be financially saved as a state. We have heard it is the fault of the people who vote for the politicians and did not vote for the others, that the other would do his job better.
My view is that the biggest fault lies with the parties, after the bankers and the least with the people. When politicians sow fanaticism about the party and their ideologies without having a common goal of twenty years as a state, but five years to please their own who voted for them, when they trap people in their tentacles, leaving them no room to think something different from what they want, and then it is the fault of the parties and politicians who secure their percentages in this way, rather than the work they had to produce in order for the people to appreciate it and vote for them.
When parties and politicians disguise themselves and bankers so as not to betray each other, then they are bankrupt. One thing left to save the place is the restructuring of the political system and then the banking system. I explain in simple words: to dissolve the parties and to set common goals twenty years before the people dissolve them. Do not tell me that it is not possible, because no one, no one, believed that Cyprus would come to this point where it is today.
Think about it.
