Cyprus Paralympic Committee Condemns Feidias Panayiotou's Comment

The Cyprus Paralympic Committee has publicly condemned a comment made by MEP Feidias Panayiotou regarding individuals with intellectual disabilities. The comment was made during a podcast featuring para-swimmer Loizos Chrysanthou.

In a statement, the Committee emphasized that such expressions cannot be considered a 'thoughtless moment' or 'humor,' but constitute an insult to individuals with intellectual disabilities and the Paralympic Movement.

The Committee called on Feidias Panayiotou to publicly acknowledge his mistake and promote respect for people with disabilities.
