War of Words Between DISY and ELAM Over Griva Memorial

A heated dispute has erupted between DISY and ELAM regarding the memorial for Griva. Annita Dimitriou, president of DISY, commented that ELAM had not participated in similar memorials in the past, provoking the anger of ELAM. ELAM responded with a statement, sharply criticizing Dimitriou for her participation in events it considers foreign to the principles of traditional Right-wing politics, such as 'pride' parades, and for her support of laws it believes serve Turkish interests. DISY retaliated by accusing ELAM of personal attacks, disparaging references, and misinformation. This controversy highlights the deep political differences between the two parties and the tension prevailing in the Cypriot political scene.
