Cyprus Government Responds to Controversial Video

Government Spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis addressed the recently circulated video that allegedly targets the President of the Republic, the Government, and Cyprus. The relevant state service concluded that the video contains elements of hybrid activity and will be forwarded to the Attorney General and the Chief of Police for further investigation. Letymbiotis emphasized that the video is a product of editing and misleading narration, aiming to create false impressions about the Government's actions. He also clarified that the President has not received any cash and that his last communication with Giorgos Chrysoschos was a congratulatory message upon his election, which did not receive a response. The spokesperson stated that the Government will address propaganda and misinformation but will not comment on claims made by private individuals.
