Dimitris Dimitriou criticizes Haris Georgiades over DISY internal disputes

On October 30, 2026, Dimitris Dimitriou, parliamentary spokesperson for the Democratic Rally (DISY), publicly criticized party member Haris Georgiades regarding his recent handling of internal party issues. Prior to sending a formal resignation letter, Georgiades held an extensive phone conversation with Dimitriou to outline his concerns. While Dimitriou acknowledged Georgiades' right to express his opinions during the ongoing pre-election process, he strongly condemned the public disclosure of the letter, arguing that such matters should be resolved internally to restore party unity.

Dimitriou further challenged Georgiades' stance regarding the upcoming internal party process, specifically disputing the suggestion that a member might not respect the results of a democratic vote. According to Dimitriou, dismissing the outcome of an election involving thousands of members is inconsistent with democratic principles. He called for a formal evaluation of the party's 2023 election results and urged an end to the current atmosphere of introspection and internal conflict, emphasizing that addressing these issues in public is counterproductive.
