Silence and Embarrassment in DISY Over Domestic Violence Allegation Against MP

A serious allegation of domestic violence against a DISY MP has caused a political earthquake in Cyprus. The woman, the MP's partner, reported to the police that she was attacked while they were abroad, with medical examinations confirming her injuries. The case is being investigated by the Limassol TAE, while the Legal Service is considering lifting the MP's parliamentary immunity. However, DISY is choosing to remain silent, citing legal procedures and awaiting the decisions of the Legal Service, a stance that is being criticized as political evasion and a lack of accountability regarding violence against women. The case raises questions about the party's political consistency and its attitude towards serious allegations.
