I appreciate that you said you would do some protesting but look what happens when you do in the world recognised and perfect "RoC"....AKEL bind over dissident voice

COMMUNIST AKEL is chewing over how to handle an act of sedition by one of its leading cadres, who has accused the party of “undermining” President Tassos Papadopoulos.

Earlier in the week, former deputy Doros Christodoulides came out with explosive allegations, charging quarters inside AKEL of orchestrating a campaign to topple Papadopoulos and pave the way for a Christofias nomination for the Presidency.
According to the wayward Christodoulides, the ultimate objective of the same circles was to promote an “unacceptable solution” to the Cyprus problem.

The claims could not have come at a more inopportune time for AKEL which is trying to make up its mind on the 2008 elections.

The communist party has affirmed its allegiance to the three-way coalition under Papadopoulos, yet at the same time is considering whether to nominate Christofias for the top job.

AKEL has tried to rein in the trouble-making Christodoulides, but he insists he has the right to make public his views.

It is hardly the first time Christodoulides has been in hot water. In April 2004, he was among a handful of AKEL politicians who backed the Annan plan, which earned him a “reprimand” from the party.

Following the euro elections of the same year, Christodoulides criticised AKEL for straying from Papadopoulos’ hardline stance on the referendum.

Then in last year’s legislative elections, he was stripped of the right to run for a seat when AKEL set a maximum of three terms in parliament for its members.
Following the elections, Christodoulides was summarily ousted from the party’s Central Committee for refusing to return to AKEL’s “Solidarity Fund” a lump sum payment he had received for his three terms in the legislature.

Christodoulides then responded, saying that AKEL leader Demetris Christofias wanted to end his political career because of his support of the UN peace plan.

The maverick politician is almost certain to face sanctions for his latest outburst, which might include expulsion from the party.

Whats the matter Miltiades, too much of a shock for you to answer. Where are your friends Birk and Kikapyros to defend the "RoC". Is this the way its going to be with unification. We get treated badly and corruption is rife but you guys are too scared and ashamed to reply or fefend. I have seen the future of unification and it is not bright. Not with people like you and tjose two liers anyway. I bet this is what it is like in your shop. A customer brings back the faulty goods and you tell him to take it to the manufacturer. The item is covered by the seller Miltiades.
