The Cypriot House of Representatives rejected the government's urgent request to extend the term of Deputy Minister for European Affairs, Marilena Raouna, until December 31, 2026. This decision was made during a session on July 9, 2026, where parliament did not permit immediate discussion of the proposed extension, effectively concluding Raouna's term at the end of July.
Anita Demetriou, president of the Democratic Rally (DISY), criticized the government's handling of the request, describing it as "precarious" and asserting that parliament should not be coerced. She noted that the President attempts to shift responsibility for the situation onto DISY. Several members within DISY have also expressed disagreement with the decision to reject the extension, labeling the parliament's move as flawed. Meanwhile, government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis expressed anger over the outcome, revealing frustrations within the ruling party regarding the parliamentary decision-making process.
