Averof Neofytou on Leaked Video: Four Actions the Presidential Palace Should Have Taken

Averof Neofytou commented on the leaked video that caused political uproar, arguing that Cyprus has suffered damage both internally and externally. He believes the government provided “ammunition” to those who wanted to harm it. He proposed specific actions that should have been taken immediately, such as the suspension of the President's Office Director, the publication of donors to the First Lady's fund, and the abolition of the Social Support Agency. He also emphasized the need to avoid the instrumentalization of national consciousness and party interests during this critical period. Finally, he referred to previous elections that were affected by similar situations, emphasizing that the damage could be greater for those seeking political gain.
