President Christodoulides: Exemplary cooperation with DIKO – “The Minister of Labour’s statements do not represent the Government”

President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulides described his cooperation with DIKO as exemplary, while also stating that the statements made by the Minister of Labour, Marinos Mousiouttas, regarding Nikola Papadopoulos, are personal opinions and do not represent the Government. Responding to questions from journalists after his visit to the Conference Centre, he stated that the cooperation with DIKO is crucial for the success of the government. He highlighted the party's significant contribution in many areas, such as the economy and Cyprus' international standing. Regarding the statements made by Mr. Mousiouttas, the President emphasized that these do not reflect the government's position. He explained that he has repeatedly spoken about his cooperation with DIKO and other parties supporting the Government, and that he respects the views of all political leaders. The President Christodoulides stated that he did not respond to Nikola Papadopoulos' letter, as the DIKO leader had already made it public, and that he had publicly responded to his criticism.
