EDEK: Calls for Independent Criminal Investigators for Controversial Video, Publication of Contributions, and Abolition of the Fund

EDEK is calling on the President of the Republic to ensure the appointment of independent criminal investigators to investigate possible criminal offenses committed by the individuals appearing in the controversial video. The party also demands the publication of contributions made to the Social Support Fund, despite relevant legal provisions, and the abolition of the Fund. EDEK argues that the publication of contributions is necessary for transparency and accountability, while the abolition of the Fund and the transfer of its resources to the Cyprus State Scholarships Foundation would better serve the social purpose. The party emphasizes that these requests must be met urgently. The EDEK's decision comes in response to the circulation of the video, which has provoked strong reactions and questions about possible illegalities and corruption. The party believes that a thorough investigation is necessary to reveal any responsibilities and administer justice.
