Published January 10, 2026, 11:20

AKEL has strongly criticized the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, for his reaction to the video that has surfaced containing discussions about potential bribery. AKEL described the President's response as “unacceptable and below expectations,” as instead of taking responsibility and calling for an investigation, he is trying to cover up the case. The party accuses the President and his associates of ignoring the evidence contained in the video and that their stance exposes Cyprus to risks. AKEL is committed to continuing its efforts to reveal all the details of the case and has called on the competent authorities to act immediately.
