ANDROS KYPRIANOU NEW SG OF AKEL

Everything related to politics in Cyprus and the rest of the world.

I can understand Kifeas' frustration. Katsourides was the comrade that proposed Papadopoulos to AKEL in 2002 and with masterly minipulations (being the offspring of Yiannis Katsouras, the KGB chief in AKEL) "convinced" people that Papadopoulos was the right guy for President. Needless to say, his clique in AKEL forcefully objected to Christofias standing against Papadopoulos last February. Thus, there are serious political reasons for the party deciding to go for Kyprianou instead of Katsourides. What Kifeas wrote is good gossip for people in a coffeeshop who understand nothing about politics. Nevertheless, rumours that Katsourides is a corrupt individual, have not been substantiated yet and furthermore, when this individual proceeds further than flirting and scores a goal perhaps, this is put down to his good looks. He is irresistable, in other words.

They're after an easier, more gullible demographic. Not very demanding, easier to lead flock mentality.

Flock mentality that actually works? Are you now saying that we are a third world people?

No ... I still love both his first name and his surname. But as a politician, he doesn't sound so fine. The two are not mutually exclusive or related ....

Of course, but it took Kifeas to write his stupid piece to convince you that his policies do not sound as good as his name. As if you knew ...

I don't pretend to know when I don't. That is precisely why I only commented on his name, until someone whose opinion I value (despite our differences), gave an analysis ....

Unlike you; I have no fear of being wrong (that's how I learn), and I adapt my views, if properly influenced.

Maybe you spend too much time with people who massage your ego .....

Me thinks Andros Kyprianou is discredited just because of the photo you posted..

Those that follow akel are the closest thing we have to a 3rd world mentality on this island.

Is it just a coincidence, that Antros Kyprianou supported the Annan Plan, wheras Katsourides spoke openly against it? Methinks that supporting the AP was probably a minimum requirement for endorsement by Christofias.
