AKEL is criticizing the Christodoulides government regarding the political storm caused by the controversial video, emphasizing the need for honest answers about potential collusion and illegal funding within the Presidential Office. AKEL points out that the Presidential Office is avoiding denying reports of a teleconference between Lakotrypi, Charalambous, and an 'investor,' which, if true, would undermine the government's denial of involvement in Lakotrypi's activities. The party calls on the President to provide answers and make admissions, while stressing that the case has serious political, institutional, ethical, and criminal dimensions, as well as international repercussions. Furthermore, AKEL states that the institutions responsible for investigating the case are also under scrutiny.
