Police Escort Removed from Nikos Anastasiou Following His Resignation

July 17, 2026

Following the resignation of Nikos Anastasiou from EDEK, his police escort has been removed. This decision comes after the party's failure to secure a seat in Parliament. The Minister of Justice plans to reduce the security details for other politicians, including former President Nikos Anastasiadis. It is likely that the security for party leaders currently in Parliament will remain unchanged. The move aims to strengthen the front line of the police.
