The Progressive Party of Working People has indefinitely expelled Kostas Kosta, informing the MP of the decision during a phone call earlier this month. The move comes as the socialist EDEK party also holds a critical congress to address its own internal disagreements. While some parties look inward, the governing DISY is already looking toward 2028. George Pamborides has submitted the required signatures for a presidential candidacy that would be a rare occurrence in the party's history if he wins, while former leader Averof Neophytou has announced his intention to seek the nomination. In a country where election cycles rarely end, the race for an office not vacant for four years has begun in earnest. Separately, energy firm Eni is reportedly preparing to sign up to $1.8 billion in contracts for subsea gas infrastructure. Diplomats remain alert as the Libyan parliament's approval of a maritime memorandum with Turkey adds a new layer of complexity to the region's underwater competition.
