Syka's Expulsion: A Purely Political Act

Nikos Sykas, a Member of Parliament for DISY, intends to appeal to the Supreme Court against the party's Political Bureau's decision to remove him from the ballot due to a complaint filed against him. Mr. Sykas will base his appeal on the fact that the decision violates his presumption of innocence. However, the journalist emphasizes that DISY's decision is purely political and not based on legal criteria, as there is no reference to the party's statutes. Furthermore, he highlights the right of each party to choose its candidates and advises Mr. Sykas to reconsider his appeal.
