Tension in DIKO over Fund Release Issues
December 19, 2025
There is tension within the Democratic Party (DIKO) due to the Finance Minister's refusal to discuss the release of 25 million euros for the electrical interconnection. Nikolas Papadopoulos expressed strong views in the Parliament regarding the government's obligations. The funding is included in the 2026 budget, having been approved by a narrow majority. The President of the Republic has been informed of DIKO's significant dissatisfaction. A new intervention from the DIKO president may occur if there is no response.
