The Controversial Video on Social Media: No Show Trial, No Political Exploitation – Country First

The circulation of a controversial video on social media has sparked a political storm in Cyprus, leading to the resignations of the First Lady, Filippa Karsera, and the Director of the President's Office, Charalambos Charalambous. The author emphasizes that the evaluation of the video should be based on an institutional process, starting with technical identification and expert analysis, and not with political condemnations and interpretations. He points out that the political exploitation of the video undermines the institutions and that the truth cannot emerge from the anonymous circulation of fragmented information.
