Philippa Karsera – Christodoulidi: “I will not allow the defamation of my family” – Steps Down from the Fund’s Committee

Philippa Karsera Christodoulidi, wife of the President of Cyprus, announced her resignation from the Management Committee of the Independent Social Support Fund (AFKS) following a scandal caused by a video and the subsequent spread of false news and defamatory comments against her and her family. Ms. Christodoulidi states that she has sought legal advice and will not allow the defamation of her character and integrity. She points out that the attack began after the strengthening of the AFKS budget and the increase in scholarships for needy families. At the same time, she announces that she will maintain the same position with other charitable organizations to which she has offered her services. She condemns the use of unsubstantiated allegations for political or partisan purposes.
