Lakkotrypis Denies Authenticity of Video Alleging Campaign Finance Discussions

Giorgos Lakkotrypis has vehemently denied the authenticity of a video circulating from a fake profile on X, which appears to show him discussing ways to finance the President's election campaign. He stated that the video is edited and contains fragmented statements aimed at harming Cyprus, the President, and himself personally. The timing of the video's release, one day after the start of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU, reinforces suspicions of a deliberate and organized attack. Mr. Lakkotrypis has already filed a complaint with the TAE Nicosia.
