ELAM Launches Harsh Criticism Against Annita Dimitriou

ELAM has launched a harsh criticism against Annita Dimitriou, arguing that her participation in “pride” parades constitutes an adoption of an agenda foreign to the principles of traditional Right-wing politics. Furthermore, ELAM accuses Ms. Dimitriou of disparaging the leader Digenis and of voting for the Akinci law, which it believes provides political cover for Turkish pursuits. She is also accused of proposing a positive vote for Turkish Cypriots, which is seen as encouraging Turkey. ELAM argues that Ms. Dimitriou’s relationship with patriotic Right-wing politics is superficial and electoral, while also questioning her effectiveness in condemning the pseudo-state and Turkey. Finally, ELAM emphasizes that patriotism is judged by actions and consistency, not by statements.
