MEP Fidias Panayiotou drew strong criticism on social media over his choice of clothing at a memorial event held in Paralimni on Saturday night, 8 August, marking 30 years since the killings of Tasos Isaac and Solomos Solomou.
Photographs from the event showed Panayiotou seated in the front row of officials wearing white shorts and a shirt, prompting a series of critical comments after they were posted online.
Social media users described the MEP’s choice of clothing as inappropriate for the nature of the event, while several posts accused him of showing a lack of respect for the memory of the two men.
