Καλημέρα κ. Πετρίδη,
Ποια είναι η άποψη σας για το ΓεΣΥ;
Το θεωρείτε καλό; Πρέπει να γίνουν αλλαγές; Τι είδους; Το χαράτσι του ΓεΣΥ να αυξηθεί, να μειωθεί, να μείνει το ίδιο; Να μείνει μονοασφαλιστικό; Να γίνει πολυασφαλιστικό;
Παρατηρήσατε αλλαγές στην ποιότητα της υγείας που προσφέρεται; Σε ποια κατεύθυνση;
Ευχαριστώ
Goodmorning Mr Petrides. Since I pushed the team to invite you I am gonna ask my questions early today
1. Can the ideologies/ideals of Greek Nationalism(εθνισμός if you prefer) and a Bizonal Bicommunal Federal solution co-exist? I am sure your answer is yes(and even though I don’t adopt it for myself I agree -and I think it would be healthy if there was a Turkish Cypriot version DISY) but I would like to hear your view on this.
2. Staying on the same subject, while there is no denial that a majority of the DISY officials support BBF, do you think the DISY base is also open to accepting such a solution?
3. Staying on the Cyprob. Could rotating presidency be accepted within the framework of an overally acceptable solution(is it a dealbreaker?)
4. Opinion on the debate about Nuclear Energy (being considered a clean energy source despite the reactiosn of the Greens)
5. Thoughts on the EU Nature Restoration Law (would you vote in favour/against)
6. Do you have any preferences regarding the commitees you will join if you get elected
7. Congrats to whoever is doing your animations
What are the reasons you chose to side with ΔΗ.ΣΥ. over other parties?
A foreigner that is oaid 60k annually pays half incine tax than a local making 60k. Locals have less purchasing power than foreigners. How health do you consider this is in the long run?
Good morning, Mr. Petrides!
What is your opinion on Europol’s pressure to weaken the encryption for the chatting software in the EU, also known as Chat Control 2.0?
Σύμφωνα με το [EU Matrix](https://eumatrix.eu/en/blog/MEP-Influence-Index-2024-Top-100-most-politically-influential-MEPs) οι Κύπριοι Ευρωβουλευτές ήταν ανάμεσα σε αυτούς με τη μικρότερη επιρροή το 2024. Πως εσείς προσωπικά σκοπεύετε να αλλάξετε αυτή την εικόνα προς όφελος των Κυπρίων πολιτών; Ποια ζητήματα θεωρείτε ότι πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστούν σε Ευρωπαικό Επίπεδο;
Πιο κάτω η σχετική αναφορά:
The **German** delegation is the most influential overall and also one of the best performing proportionally to its size. Conversely, the **Italians**, and, to a lesser extent, the **French** have been underperforming (regardless of the size of their delegations). From among the small countries, the **Luxembourgers**, the **Maltese**, and **Portuguese** punch above their weight the most, while **Hungarians**, **Cypriots** and **Italians** are the most underperforming national groups.
This is not a question, merely just my personal opinion but I value and consider you as one of the good guys with quite the brains and the eagerness to help our island from a more substantial position like the one you had in the past. I’m not quite the optimist in regards to the amount of hands on help Cyprus receives from one vote of one MEP in the EU parliament and the influence and impact that that might have on our everyday lives.
Do u like cats? How many cats do u have and what are their names? Do you think the government is doing enough to fund and promote trap/neuter/release programs? What would you do differently to create a happier and healthier cat island?
Συγχαρητήρια για την κίνηση αυτή.
Πιστεύετε ότι ο ΔΗΣΥ, κάτω από την κυβέρνηση του οποίου είχαμε ίσως τα πιο πολλά σκάνδαλα τα οποία μέχρι και σήμερα χαίρονται συγκάλυψης, είναι το κόμμα το οποίο σας αντιπροσωπεύει περισσότερο? Αν δεν υπήρχε ο ΔΗΣΥ με ποιο κόμμα θα ταυτιζόσασταν περισσότερο?
Mr Petrides, why would Turkey accept a solution which is in our (GCs) interests?
Years ago we thought that the EU membership “carrot” would encourage Turkey to make concessions, but they didn’t, and now the membership of Turkey isn’t even on the table as most EU countries do not want them.
Later we thought that we could entice Turkey to a decent solution with our natural gas resources, but it again became obvious that Cyprus is too strategically important for Turkey to give up just for a bit of gas, which apparently they believe they can just steal anyway without giving anything in return.
So isn’t it clear that Turkey would currently accept a “solution” to the Cyprus problem only if with such a deal it would expand its control and its own interests over our island?
The TCs were promised by Turkey their own country in the north, but what they got is a puppet pseudo state run by Turkey, with their community turned into a minority in what they were promised would be their own independent country. Are our politicians smarter than the TC leadership?
Suicide and surrender are always “feasible” options. Do you accept that no solution is better than a bad “solution” if a good (for us) solution is not acceptable by the Turkish side?
Will you advocate for the removal of Turkish occupation forces and replace Turkey with an alternative EU member as security guarantor. Same with UK as they are also non EU.
We have seen two positions regarding the Guterres Framework in the last presidential elections. Mauroyiannis and Christodoulides accept it as a basis for negotiation. Averof wanted to sign it (even unilateraly/monomeros) as a strategic agreement. I have never heard any other leader expressing Averofs position, not even the new Disy leadership. What is the official position of Disy and yours? Basis for negotiation or strategic agreement?
Thank you very much for participating!
What is your personal opinion regards to the two conflicts in middle east and eastern europe? What have you done with your current influence to help the situation? And how would you be able to change anything if elected as MEP?
Are you for or against joining NATO? And what you think of NATO in general since Turkey is already a member? What is your opinion in creating an EU military force?
I saw that a lot of our MEP often abstain from voting, without giving explanation, when will you abstain and in what circumstances? Will you explain your voting whyher positive negative or abstaining?
As I understand you have been into politics since day 1, correct me if I am wrong, what makes you think you can represent the views of the average Cypriot?
Hello Mr Petrides,
You were the finance minister who brought the tax incentives for companies and employess for moving to Cyprus. Arguably most of the locals have been negatively impacted by these. What do you have to say to the following allegations:
* Local tech people and companies who have been in Cyprus through thick and thin (and employed people through the recession) have never got any incentives. On top of this, they are now in a difficult situation because they cannot compete with foreign companies because the tax incentives gives foreigners an unfair advantage. Same goes for employees. How can a Cypriot compete with a foreigner when they can ask for a much less salary because of the tax incentive?
* This influx of foreigners is the main reason for the artificial boost of cost of living. While it helps Cyprus show an increase in its GDP, it’s all artificial, because the locals never benefit from it and are being pushed out from the centers of cities (mainly Limassol) because foreigners can afford higher rents (mainly because of the extra cash they have from the tax reduction)
* There is a lack of tech talent in Cyprus but even for the locals who do meet the criteria, all these foreign companies refuse to hire them, simply because we don’t speak Russian and they don’t trust Cypriots. Why dd you remove the obligation for these companies to hire 30% locals/EU? Are we meant to believe that russian tech companies cannot find developers in the EU market pool of 700m+ people?
I’ld like to hear your personal experience with the north of Cyprus. Do you cross the green line, and for what reasons? What is your impression? Did talk with the population? Did you ever talk with a Turkish settler?
Που έκαμες στρατό;
