Marinos Kleanthous, Deputy President of DIPA, responded to Nikolas Papadopoulos's criticism of the government, stating that DIKO needs to clarify its position.

The Deputy President of DIPA emphasized the importance of seriousness and prudence in supporting the government, avoiding excesses and unnecessary confrontations.
