President Christofias said that his government had indeed tried to build a welfare state, to resurrect even more and to support the workers, but unfortunately this crisis created problems.
He added that nevertheless Cyprus could emerge from the crisis but, as President Christofias said, "we encountered a tsunami called banks without any control by the Governor of the Central Bank who is responsible based on European and European data. which brought the economy to its knees, really. "
"The ruling parliament and the opposition created problems"

TKA and its viability and various others that we have offered honoring the people of the calf, the people of work. "Those who were the protagonists of the struggles to achieve these conquests," he added.
The President of the Republic stated that the truth is that during his five-year term, the global financial crisis has created huge problems, As he said.
"We have passed," he added, "through many conspiracies in the last 86 years that the popular labor movement has been giving struggles. And persecutions of the English and persecutions of Grivas and the right and of EOKA II and we are here with our heads held high and our fists clenched ".
"If the new attitudes and interpretations are implemented, we will see the possessions with binoculars"
"As long as they keep our feet and our forces, we will continue to work for our country, first of all, for the solution of the Cyprus problem, which some with new positions and interpretations of what Makarios would do if he lived, listen now, put the Cyprus problem on the Greek calendars "He added, saying that if these views and policies are implemented, whether they belong to Mr. Anastasiadis and his associates, or to Mr. Lillikas or the Archbishop, we will see what is being held with binoculars."
President Christofias spoke about the need to reunite the place, saying that in order to do that, "it is not with the slogans and the lads, these have been tried for years now and each time we go back".
The President then stated that the Turkish Cypriots, when they hear today about the abolition of the federation's policy, wonder what the e / k side wants and what such an aspiration is based, because, as he explained, "the Turkish Cypriots also consider the federation to be a opportunity to say in Turkey "thank you for the protection that kills us", because it is supposed protection, they drown the Turkish Cypriots by carrying tens of thousands of settlers ".
"That is why the Turkish Cypriots are intolerant and accuse Turkey," he said, adding that "instead of trying to form an alliance with the Turkish Cypriots this time, we say to the people, 'you know, we have a Greek state here, that's why we do not want you.' '».
"But come on, Cyprus is a member of the EU with all its territory and with all its people," he added.
He went on to say that "someone", as he put it, "announced that he would make a movement for the rights of Turkish Cypriots in the free zones".
"We do not know what this means, I do not want to make predictions, but it must be investigated very seriously. Is it objectively done? How else is it? We have to study it. What will be the result? A Turkish state with porters and a mixed state in the free zones. We will not have a Greek state as the High Priest told us. We will not have a Greek state but a mixed state and a Turkish state in the free zones. Will we write off Kyrenia, Famagusta, Morphou? "I do not write down Dikomo like you do in your villages and cities," he stressed.
He explained that therefore "it is necessary to continue the unifying policies of the people and the unifying policies of the Republic of Cyprus, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, unifying the economy and the state", pointing out that these are the policies implemented by the Government for these five years.
The President noted that "of course Eroglou's arrival has blown them up, with the help of the Turkish establishment", pointing out, however, that "it is not about erasing everything that the UN has approved so far, as a line for resolving the Cyprus issue. ».
He reminded the presidential candidate Giorgos Lillikas and those who support him that "the last agreement signed by the late President Tassos Papadopoulos, is the Agreement of July 8, which they already refer to", explaining that this agreement provides a "solution to a bi-communal federation with political equality as provided for in the UN Resolutions ".
"I do not think that what is provided for in the UN Resolutions is even inside. But in any case, this is the agreement and provides for a bi-zonal bi-communal federation. And I agree with those who say that the substance is the content of the agreement and not the name. "Consequently, it is possible for them to make full use of the name of the late Tassos Papadopoulos and at the same time to consider the agreement that we made disastrous and to cancel it," he added, adding that "there are contradictions here that are difficult to make." understandable ".
