Paphos Mayor Criticizes Government Over Controversial Video

The Mayor of Paphos, Phaedon Phaedonas, has launched a scathing critique of the government and the President of the Republic, accusing them of 'disgracing the country' and 'international discredibility' due to the recently publicized video. Mr. Phaedonas claims the damage is not from external interference, but from practices of bribery and money laundering within Cyprus, involving individuals around the Presidential Palace. He calls for transparency in the Social Support Fund and investigation of all corruption cases, urging for a 'new beginning' in the country's governance.
