Nikolas Papadopoulos's Focus on GSI Cable Causes Concern within Diko

Nikolas Papadopoulos, the president of Diko, has been intensely focused on the issue of the Greece-Cyprus electricity interconnection cable (GSI), causing concern within his party. This insistence, despite the government's low-key approach and doubts about the project's feasibility, is creating tensions and fears of electoral repercussions. Some within Diko worry that Papadopoulos's stance gives the impression of distancing from the government and a possible rapprochement with Disy. The situation is complicated by the fact that no one dares to openly express their concerns to the party president.
