EDEK: Immediate Appointment of Independent Criminal Investigators Requested for Controversial Video

EDEK is calling for the immediate appointment of independent criminal investigators to investigate the controversial video and determine if any criminal offenses have occurred. Deputy President Morphakis Solomonides stated that the President of the Republic must fully disclose contributions to the fund of the Social Support Agency and then abolish it. EDEK had not requested the resignation of the First Lady, but had from the beginning demanded the resignation of the President's Chief of Staff. The party distinguishes two aspects to the scandal: the undermining of the prestige of the Republic of Cyprus and the opaque procedures revealed by the video. The party's relationship with the government was discussed at the EDEK Secretariat meeting in light of the developments.
