Chasapoulos Resigns from Direct Democracy Party

Andreas Chasapoulos has announced his resignation from the Direct Democracy party and his decision not to run as a candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections. He emphasizes that his decision is the result of disagreements on principles and substance with Pheidiades, and not due to personal ambitions. He explains that he initially decided to run to distance himself from Odysseas Michailidis' 'Alma' and to support the need for greater citizen participation. However, he found issues with the party's operation with which he strongly disagrees, impacting the overall political landscape. Chasapoulos stresses that he did not seek positions and that his resignation is a conscious political choice.
