DISY Postpones Decision on Nikos Sykas' Candidacy Pending Court Ruling

The Democratic Rally (DISY) is postponing the discussion regarding the inclusion of MP Nikos Sykas on the party's ballot for the upcoming parliamentary elections until the process before the Supreme Court regarding the lifting of his immunity is completed. This decision was made due to the pending possibility of the police investigation against him continuing. The leadership of DISY announced that no final decisions will be made before the court ruling is issued. The announcement states that both the President's public statement and the relevant proposal of the Executive Bureau remain valid until then. The case concerns an allegation of a criminal offense, and lifting Mr. Sykas' immunity will allow the police to take his statement. DISY's decision to postpone the discussion highlights the party's attention to matters of legality and ethics.
