DEK party leader Andreas Themistocleous accuses colleagues of insurrection amid internal conflict
Andreas Themistocleous, head of the Democratic National Movement (DEK), has accused members of his party’s leadership of effectively staging an insurrection by locking him out of the party’s email and social media accounts. The dispute follows four political bureau members withdrawing confidence in Themistocleous, accusing him of arbitrary decisions and violation of the party’s charter. The political bureau consists of six members, including Themistocleous.
Themistocleous denied allegations of non-transparency and financial misconduct, emphasizing that a financial audit was conducted in August, and all questions were addressed openly. He condemned the four dissenting members for not attending the financial review meeting and accused one, Andras Soteriou, of withholding a receipt book. Despite internal tensions, Themistocleous maintains he is committed to transparency and accountability.
DEK, founded in January 2025 after Themistocleous’s expulsion from the Elam party, positions itself as a traditionalist party focused on preserving Greek national identity in Cyprus and opposing bi-zonal, bi-communal federation solutions. The ongoing conflict threatens to further divide the party as legal action over access to official communication channels commences.
