MP Nikos Sykas will be called to provide his account regarding the allegations of assault against a woman, following the lifting of his parliamentary immunity by the Supreme Constitutional Court. The Police will proceed with an investigation, despite the complainant withdrawing her accusation, as required by relevant legislation. The Supreme Court accepted the Attorney General's request, ruling that there are “genuine and serious” reasons of public interest to investigate the case. The Political Bureau of DISY had postponed its meeting to decide on removing Mr. Sykas from the ballot until the hearing is completed.
