The Special Parliamentary Committee on the Ethics of Members of the House of Representatives, (hereinafter "the Committee") met today to consider a complaint submitted on 26 May 2023 by MP Ms. Alexandra Attalidou of the Movement of Ecologists-Civic Co-operation, regarding the posting of MP Mr. Andreas Themistokleous on a specific Social Media, in violation of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Representatives.
The Commission, noting that the incident occurred outside the Parliament and in any case outside the context of the exercise of the duties of Mr. Themistocleous, as provided for by the Code of Conduct for Members of the House of Representatives, does not intend to proceed with the examination of the complaint in question, in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Conduct.
Nevertheless, the Committee, unanimously, condemns the post of the Member of Parliament Mr. Andreas Themistocleous in this social media, which contains insulting, sexist, racist and offensive character that diminishes, among other things, the dignity of this Member of Parliament, calling at the same time the competent authorities to proceed to investigate the possibility of criminal conduct on the part of Mr. Andreas Themistocleous.
The Ethics Committee also identifies the need to amend the institutional framework on which the provisions of this Code are based and will therefore proceed immediately to make recommendations for its improvement.
