Change of Guard in Human Rights Committee - Last Session Under Charalambidou's Presidency

The term of Irene Charalambidou as President of the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights has concluded prematurely due to her split with AKEL and her becoming an independent MP. Today's session was her last as President, with Giorgos Koukoumas taking over. Charalambidou expressed her satisfaction with the choice of Koukoumas, emphasizing her confidence in his abilities. Committee members expressed positive comments about Charalambidou's work during her presidency, recognizing the Committee's functionality and substantial intervention in important issues. Koukoumas pledged to continue the Committee's work and expressed hope that Charalambidou would remain active in it.
