Clash in Parliament over Controversial Video Featuring Themistocleous

A heated clash erupted in the Parliament's Institutions Committee during the discussion of the controversial video concerning MP Andreas Themistocleous. Mr. Themistocleous chose to turn the discussion into a personal attack against AKEL MP Giorgos Loukaidis, attempting to silence the political responsibilities highlighted by the video. Mr. Loukaidis accused Mr. Themistocleous of political bullying and sexist, abusive comments, comparing his statements to 'women in the market'. Mr. Themistocleous's behavior appeared aimed at avoiding discussion of the serious allegations touching the government, while Mr. Loukaidis demanded respect and restoration of order.
