Averof Neofytou was hosted on the show Without Spins on the evening of Thursday, January 26. Among other things, he was asked about the possible consequences in the event that he does not make it to the Second Round.
"We entered these elections to win them. Don't think I'm arrogant, but it's our confidence that we'll win them (including the elections). Beyond that, in any other eventuality, as DISY we have a history, we are a serious and responsible party.
I will operate institutionally as provided by the statute. In any case, the term ends in 2023. The terms of office of the President of DISY are not for life. My intention, anyway I believe we will win the elections, but if anything else happens, my intention is to re-claim the mandate of DISY", he said.
Hezekiah's stairs
Mr. Neofytou was asked about the possibility of his cooperation with AKEL, in matters of Cyprus.
"I humbly consider that I was quite receptive... Averof as President of DISY. Perhaps in the history of the party system, there is no other political leader who has climbed the steps of Hezekiah, since Averof Neophytou in critical phases of the Cypriot campaign."
