His election Nikos Christodoulides in the presidency of the Republic of Cyprus causes new facts on its political scene Cyprus. He is the first president of Cyprus to be elected with the support of the parties in the intervening space, and the only president who will now have to govern the two main parties, Democratic Alert (DISY) And AKEL, in opposition. It is worth noting, of course, that the catalytic role in his election was played primarily by the voters of DISY, who joined him in the second round, as well as the voters of the far-right party. COME M.

Nikos Christodoulidis has made it clear that his goal is a widely recognized government with 50% women in the cabinet, as well as young people who have never previously held any office. In his ministry, he is expected to use the leaders of the parties that supported him, but mostly representatives of civil society. For the time being, he keeps his papers closed to the persons he will use in his office, even if the nomenklatura in Cyprus has intensified in the last twenty-four hours.

The main problem for Nikos Christodoulidis himself will be his alliances in parliament. The fact that it is supported by a small minority of parties in parliament (16 out of 56 deputies) reinforces fears that some bills will be difficult to pass. This will of course depend on the intensity with which DISY is in opposition. The Party of the Right has already announced an election conference. If DISY President Averof Neophytou is re-elected, then the government of Nikos Christodoulidis will face serious difficulties in terms of mutual understanding and cooperation. Precisely for this reason, it cannot be ruled out that Nikos Christodoulides himself, as the “alarmist” he calls himself, favors a presidential candidate with whom he can get along. Of course, the challenge for Nikos Christodoulidis is to consult with the parties that support him, given the existence of a number of political differences, either on economic issues or on the Cyprus issue.

The first step of the new president will be to create conditions for new mobility in the Cypriot region. take on a more active mediating role while emphasizing immigration, with the first step being the creation of a deputy ministry of immigration. He has already made it clear that the orientation of Cyprus is Western and will remain so, and in economic matters he warned that he was not going to experiment.
