DISY (Democratic Rally) has been praised for its decision to remove its Limassol MP from the election ballot following allegations of violence against his partner. While the presumption of innocence applies, the party's move is considered correct, learning from a previous similar case it faced. The decision was deemed necessary as there is no room for ambiguity in such allegations. The party headquarters demonstrated responsibility by immediately initiating procedures, a credit to the party leader. The author emphasizes that one cannot demand investigation for others while acting as if nothing is happening. The outcome of the case will be determined by the justice system, where each party will have the opportunity to prove their innocence or take responsibility for their actions. This case highlights the importance of immediate and decisive handling of such allegations by political parties. The author concludes by expressing the opinion that DISY's decision was the right one, given the serious accusations and the need to protect society from violence.
