DISY Postpones Discussion on Nikos Sykas' Candidacy Pending Supreme Court Decision

The Democratic Rally (DISY) has postponed the discussion regarding the inclusion of MP Nikos Sykas on the upcoming parliamentary election ballot, due to the pending legal proceedings for the lifting of his parliamentary immunity. The decision was made following an opinion from the party's Legal Council and considering that the hearing of the application for the lifting of Sykas' immunity continues at the Supreme Court. The discussion will be resumed after the Supreme Court's decision is issued and the police investigation is completed, as the outcome of these procedures will determine the party's stance. The initial statement by the party President and the recommendation of the Executive Bureau remain valid until the new discussion.
