Averof Neophytou urges young MEP Fidias Panayiotou to choose between popularity and national service
Former Disy leader Averof Neophytou advised MEP Fidias Panayiotou to decide whether he wants to remain popular or be truly useful to Cyprus during a podcast discussion on Thursday. Neophytou, aged 65, highlighted Panayiotou's early political missteps and encouraged him to prioritize doing what benefits the country over seeking popularity.
The conversation also touched on the ongoing Cyprus issue, with Neophytou criticizing both President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman for the lack of substantive negotiations. He expressed concern that progress is hindered by factions warning against settlement efforts.
Additionally, they discussed an internal Disy party poll indicating leader Annita Demetriou as the leading candidate for the 2028 presidential elections. Neophytou disclosed that he was neither informed nor consulted about this internal survey, suggesting ongoing internal dynamics within the party.
