Decision on Sykas Postponed: DISY Political Bureau Meeting Delayed

Published January 7, 2026, 16:17

The meeting of the DISY Political Bureau, scheduled for tonight, has been postponed due to the rapid developments in the case of MP Nikos Sykas, who is accused of assaulting a woman. The postponement was decided to give the Bureau members time to evaluate the withdrawal of the complaint by the woman, as well as the request for the lifting of his parliamentary immunity. The new meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 12th. Despite the withdrawal of the complaint, the Legal Service has normally submitted the request for lifting the immunity to the Supreme Constitutional Court, while the Police continue the investigation of the case.
