Parliament Rejects Extension for the Deputy Ministry of European Affairs
July 10, 2026
The Parliament's decision to reject the request for an extension of the operation of the Deputy Ministry of European Affairs has caused surprise and dissatisfaction within the government. President Nikos Christodoulides expressed his annoyance, primarily targeting Pindarou and Annita Demetriou. Government circles believe the decision lacks logical basis and will lead to the conclusion of the Deputy Minister's term by the end of July. This situation may have political implications, particularly in relation to the 2028 Presidential elections. The government can no longer count on the support of DISY on matters of mutual interest, as demonstrated by the recent vote.
