Continuation of the legal dispute between the mayor and deputy mayor of Dromolaxia-Meneou: what happened in court today

The Mayor of Dromolaxia-Meneou, Kypros Andronikou, appeared before the Larnaca District Court today regarding a private criminal prosecution filed by Deputy Mayor Giannos Ioannou. The Mayor's defense argues that the charges attempt to criminalize political expression and have requested the Attorney General to suspend the proceedings. Conversely, the Deputy Mayor's legal team claims the official municipal page was misused to damage his reputation and plans to contest the suspension request. The next hearing is scheduled for December 11.
