Pandora’s box was opened by Maria Karystianou’s remarks yesterday, as her response to a question about abortions on the television station Open provoked both negative and positive reactions from the political world, as well as within the ranks of the victims’ relatives. Ms Karystianou has ridden the crest of a wave of popularity based on her becoming the face of the families of vitims of the Tempi train disaster, and has embarged on a political career with an aim at taking part in the 2027 elections.
