Independents Andreas Efstratiou, Loukas Stavrou and Celestina De Petro were the three first candidates who submitted on Thursday, their candidacies for the Cyprus Presidency at Filoxenia Conference Center.
Andreas Efstratiou submitted his candidacy for the presidential elections for the eighth time. He was the first to submit his candidacy at 08:00 in the morning and came accompanied by his supporters, using a special means of transport for disabled people.
“As a person with many children, I will fight for my fellow human beings, the people with many children, the disabled people who are always left on the sidelines and whenever there are elections they are taken into account,” he said. He added that whoever the winner is, “we will respect him for the good of our country”.
The accession of the Republic of Cyprus in the Hellenic Republic and the opposition to representative democracy is promoted by the candidate for the Presidency, Loukas Stavrou, by filing his candidacy at the Chief Returning Officer.
“As National Community Reconstruction (EKAN) we submit a comprehensive proposal for the accession of the Republic of Cyprus into the Hellenic Republic. We will do it the same way Cyprus joined the EU: by directly integrating the National Guard into the armed forces of Greece – one nation, one army,” he said in his remarks after submitting his candidacy.
The belief that she will succeed in the Presidency of the Republic of Cyprus was expressed by Celestina De Petro, the first of only two women who are submitting their candidacy for the Presidential Elections.
In her short statements, De Petro noted that she loves the world, the Cypriots, and this, as she said, “is the biggest statement” she can make. In statements leaving the hall where the nominations are submitted, De Petro said that she is “here” for the people and to represent all Cypriots “until the end”. Asked about her expectations from this process, she said that it is to become President of the Republic, “for the good of Cyprus”.
