Phidias Panayiotou discusses future parliamentary role

On Friday evening, May 8, OMEGA channel broadcast the program Dimokratia, featuring leaders from six major political parties ahead of the legislative elections. The guests included Annita Dimitriou, Stefanos Stefanou, Nikolas Papadopoulos, Christos Christou, Odysseas Michaelides, and Phidias Panayiotou. During the discussion, Phidias Panayiotou addressed questions regarding his potential transition from the European Parliament to the Cypriot Parliament as head of the Direct Democracy parliamentary group. He stated that his decision depends on his party's electoral performance. Specifically, Panayiotou indicated that he would choose a seat in the Cypriot Parliament only if his party finishes as the first party. Conversely, he noted that if the party secures less than 10% of the vote, he intends to remain in the European Parliament. The discussion highlighted the strategic uncertainty regarding his political trajectory in the upcoming term.
