Timeless Values and the Cyprus Scandal

The article comments on the scandal that has erupted in Cyprus, referring to a “system” where violations and corruption are accepted. The author refers to “timeless and stable values,” such as dipping your finger in honey, and uses them as a metaphor to emphasize the acceptance of small transgressions that lead to bigger problems. Specifically, the article focuses on the case of the Presidential Palace and the need for immediate and transparent investigation by the Attorney General. It highlights the delay in seizing evidence and the lack of immediate action, while referring to conversations between the Attorney General and the President of the Republic. The author emphasizes that Cyprus is taking over the Presidency of the EU at a critical time, and this scandal could have negative consequences for the country's image. It also mentions that the government wants to maintain state control over 51% of ADMIE, which creates difficulties in finding funds to increase share capital. Finally, the article draws a parallel between the situation in Cyprus and the need for moral integrity and transparency, as taught from a young age.
