It's Not the Video. It's the System.

The article focuses on a video that has been circulated and caused reactions, but argues that the real problem is not the authenticity of the video, but the fact that its content no longer shocks Cypriot society. It is pointed out that society has become accustomed to hints of intermediaries, political favors, and funding in the gray area of legality, and rarely sees real consequences. The government's response is characterized as inadequate, as it is limited to questioning the video's authenticity. The author emphasizes that the issue is political and institutional, concerning the way power operates and the lack of accountability. Specific reference is made to the Independent Social Support Agency and the refusal of transparency regarding its funding.
