It represents a reform-oriented current in Cypriot politics, rooted in the values of civic participation and democratic responsibility. In the 2018 presidential election it supported Nikolas Papadopoulos in the first round and, in the run-off, called on its supporters to back neither of the two remaining candidates. The Platform stands for a politics close to citizens: **the defence of democratic institutions**, **active participation in public life**, and a constructive engagement with the European Union as a framework for the island's future. It approaches public affairs in a pragmatic and citizen-centred spirit, attentive to the concerns of ordinary Cypriots. Within the European Democratic Party, which it joined in 2019, the Platform embodies a conviction at the core of the EDP's vision: that a living democracy depends on the active engagement of its citizens, and that Europe is strongest when its peoples feel that public life truly belongs to them. ## Related news ![Αυτόνομη Πλατφόρμα](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![Αυτόνομη Πλατφόρμα](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/athens-congress-final-photo-24-october.jpg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[Spazio Pubblico](https://democrats.eu/parties/spazio-pubblico/)[Junts per Catalunya](https://democrats.eu/parties/junts-per-catalunya/) 25 10 2026 [Europe's Democrats Speak: 18 Voices, One Shared Future ](https://democrats.eu/news/europes-democrats-speak-18-voices-one-shared-future/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/europes-democrats-speak-18-voices-one-shared-future/) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get all the latest information straight to your inbox <!\[CDATA\[YII-BLOCK-BODY-END\]\]>
