Sycas Case: Difficult Equation for DISY After Withdrawal of Complaint

Published January 8, 2026, 10:22

The case of alleged assault reported by a woman against DISY MP Nikos Sykas is causing turmoil in Pindarus. Despite the woman withdrawing her complaint, DISY has decided not to include Mr. Sykas on the ballot for the upcoming parliamentary elections. This decision has sparked discussions and reactions, with some arguing that the withdrawal of the complaint should be taken into consideration. The Legal Service has requested the lifting of the MP's immunity, however, the case is expected to be examined by the Supreme Court. The party is considering following the tactic it used with Andreas Themistocleous, where despite the lifting of his immunity, he was included on the ballot.
