DISY: Political Bureau to Convene After Woman's Allegation of Assault

DISY announced an emergency meeting of its Political Bureau for tonight at 21:00, following an allegation by a woman that she was assaulted by an active MP from Limassol, a member of the party, during a holiday in Athens on New Year's Eve. The leadership of DISY was informed of the incident and decided to convene an urgent meeting to manage the crisis and consider possible sanctions against the MP. According to reports, the party is even considering not including the MP on the ballot for the 2026 parliamentary elections. The complainant received medical attention at a private hospital, where injuries were found, and filed an official complaint with the Limassol Police Directorate. The case is being investigated by the Limassol TAE, and the possibility of lifting the MP's parliamentary immunity for the continuation of the investigations is being considered. Investigators are awaiting instructions from the Legal Service regarding the procedure. The incident has caused strong reactions in Cyprus and has put DISY in a difficult position, as it is called upon to manage a serious matter of public interest. The outcome of the case is expected to have significant political consequences.
