Political party SIKOU PANO alleges institutional bias in election process

The political party SIKOU PANO has officially expressed concern regarding the conduct of the Cyprus Radio Television Authority (CRTA) during the current electoral process. Party leader Sotiris Christou stated that the actions and omissions of the Authority raise questions about institutional competence and the failure to uphold principles of equal treatment for all political candidates. The party argues that the current approach violates the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus, European human rights standards, and UN democratic principles. SIKOU PANO explicitly linked this criticism to President Nikos Christodoulides, claiming he bears political responsibility as the guarantor of institutional legality. The party warned that the current handling of events resembles regimes that do not align with a country presiding over the EU. Furthermore, SIKOU PANO reserves its legal right to challenge the integrity of the electoral process in court. No specific evidence was cited in the public statement, but the party emphasizes that it will closely monitor the executive branch's compliance with democratic norms until the 2028 election cycle.
