Independent MP Andreas Themistocleous said in a strong tone that "whichever hand wrote the preamble of the law was guided by a sick mind" and that "we are living in a prostitution and homosexuality storm". He said the law was unconstitutional and that now the right of parents to their children was being removed.
Themistocles placed himself beyond his time which caused a reaction from other parties, asking the Speaker of Parliament to call him to order. Addressing AKEL, the independent MP referred to a former MEP, provoking the anger of MPs.
DISY President Averof Neophytou called on him to take back the shade on the MEP, saying that in the Temple of Democracy we do not say insinuations and referred to a smear.
AKEL Secretary General Stefanos Stefanou spoke of impeachment and slander, especially when the court has not proved anything, he said.
AKEL's Giorgos Loukaidis spoke of libel, saying that tolerance has its limits. Andreas Themistocleous responded to Mr Loukaides by saying "With me, you can polish your limits" and "I will not withdraw even one iota."
