Mayor of Lefkoniko Speaks Out on Suspension, Alleges Manipulation

The Mayor of Lefkoniko, Pieris Gypsiotis, made his first public statement regarding the Ministry of Interior's decision to suspend him. Mr. Gypsiotis specifically accused certain circles of inciting the situation against him, with the aim of serving personal interests. He expressed his belief that those responsible will soon be revealed and assured that he will return to his duties. He also committed to continuing to serve on the Municipal Council as an assistant. The decision to suspend the Mayor of Lefkoniko was made in light of the pending criminal case against him, which concerns the abuse of his wife and minor children, offenses allegedly committed between 2019 and 2023. The hearing of the case is scheduled for March.
