Sykas to Appeal Disqualification from DISY to Supreme Court

Nikos Sykas, a Member of Parliament, intends to appeal to the Supreme Court regarding the decision of DISY to disqualify him from the parliamentary election ballot. His lawyer, Christos Pourgouridis, stated that the party's decision violates the presumption of innocence and the natural rules of justice, as it was taken without hearing Sykas's side. Mr. Pourgouridis described the invocation of lifting immunity as justification for the disqualification as “comical,” emphasizing that the Supreme Court did not examine evidence to establish a case. The DISY decision is considered devastating and hasty, as it is based on allegations that may not be substantiated.
