Government Dodges Questions Amidst Video Scandal

A scandal sparked by the release of a video has triggered strong reactions within Cypriot society and has internationally exposed the country. Following the resignations of the President's wife and his Chief of Staff, AKEL is accusing the government of avoiding answering key questions and conducting a thorough, independent investigation. AKEL argues that the President was aware of and involved in a network of collusion, while the names of donors to the controversial Fund remain secret. The party accuses the President of proving to be a continuation of the old, fragile establishment, rather than promoting transparency and accountability.
