Chrysides on Corruption Video: “Does President Christodoulides Feel Comfortable with How They Talk About Him?”

MP Chrysides Pantelidis has strongly criticized a recently circulated video featuring statements from close associates of President Christodoulides – namely, Giorgos Lakkotrypis, Charalambos Charalambous, and Giorgos Chrysoschos. The video, presented as edited, suggests that the President’s election campaign was funded with cash exceeding the legal limit and that companies offered financial contributions in exchange for preferential treatment. Mr. Pantelidis emphasized that the damage to Cyprus stems from the three individuals in the video, as their statements create an impression of manipulation and collusion. He questioned whether the President feels comfortable with how his associates speak about him. Giorgos Lakkotrypis has already reported the matter to the police, claiming his statements were stitched together to serve a specific narrative.
