Clash Between DISY and ELAM Over Grivas: "You Didn't Exist When We Attended the Memorials"

A heated clash occurred between DISY and ELAM regarding Grivas. DISY President Annita Dimitriou accused ELAM of cultivating toxicity and constantly launching accusations, while ELAM responded that DISY participates in memorials for electoral gain. Ms. Dimitriou argued that DISY honors the EOKA struggle and Grivas, and that ELAM did not exist when DISY was present at these memorials. ELAM, in a statement, accused Ms. Dimitriou of a casual relationship with patriotic Right-wing politics, appearing only during elections. Additionally, ELAM accused DISY of disrespecting Grivas, calling him “anyone”. The confrontation continued with mutual accusations of hypocrisy and ideological differences. ELAM accused DISY of voting for the Akinci law along with the Left and of failing to condemn Erdogan and the pseudo-state in the European Parliament. DISY responded that ELAM's politics are based on toxicity and the cultivation of hatred. Ms. Dimitriou emphasized the need for responsible politics and called on ELAM to stop the accusations and propose substantial solutions to the problems of citizens.
