February 2, 2026
The Cyprus Confederation of Organization for Disabled (KYSOA) expressed its dissatisfaction with the remarks made by Phidias Panayiotou regarding individuals with intellectual disabilities. It emphasizes that they do not attribute political motives to their reactions. KYSOA has already raised their complaint before the President of the European Parliament. They highlight that the pursuit of rights for people with disabilities is a political action, which Panayiotou appears not to understand. KYSOA criticizes the notion that their reactions stem from political intentions and warns about the implications of his rhetoric.
