The President of DISY, Annita Demetriou, strongly criticized AKEL, expressing her discomfort with statements she believes undermine support for Greece and the need for a united front to address regional threats. Ms. Demetriou expressed the view that the presence of Greek armed forces in Cyprus enhances security, while criticizing ideological constraints that hinder the creation of a unified front. She emphasized the need for solidarity and support for Greece, given the critical situation in the region. Ms. Demetriou referred to the speech of the Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis in the Hellenic Parliament, emphasizing that Greece is and should be Cyprus's strongest ally.
