AKEL Condemns MP Feidias' Remarks on People with Intellectual Disabilities

AKEL strongly condemned the remarks made by MEP Feidias Panagiotou regarding people with intellectual disabilities, describing them as offensive, dismissive, and deeply problematic. The party emphasizes that the condemnation from the Cyprus Paralympic Committee highlights the seriousness of the issue and that it is not a misunderstanding or isolated mistake, but a general attitude incompatible with his institutional role. AKEL calls for a public apology for the speech that offends people with disabilities, especially children.
