‘Zero Tolerance’ in Words – Another Postponement of DISY’s Political Bureau Regarding Nikos Syka

The case of DISY MP Nikos Syka, and the alleged violence against his partner, continues to cause political indecisiveness. The DISY Political Bureau has chosen to postpone a decision for the second time, citing legal opinions and court proceedings. Despite statements of ‘zero tolerance’ from the party leader, the leadership appears trapped and unable to take a clear stance, raising questions about its true position on violence against women. The postponement focuses on completing the process of lifting immunity, while the Police are already investigating the case. This delay is considered to damage the party's credibility and suggests that its principles are flexible when it comes to high-ranking officials.
