From Uncontrolled Funds to Video-Gate and Partisan Incoherence

The article discusses the history and evolution of the Social Support Foundation, starting with its establishment as an opaque fund during the Christofias presidency, which was criticized as “small funds”. It then describes its institutionalization under Anastasiades with the aim of supporting students and Philippa Karsera Christodoulidi's efforts to strengthen its work, helping a significant number of students. The article criticizes the parties for their recent attack on the Foundation under the pretext of transparency, arguing that it is a false pretense. It points out that the names of the donors are already published on the Foundation's website and that the criticism is unjustified. Finally, it refers to the opposition of DISY and DIKO regarding the need for the Foundation in the current economic conditions.
