ELAM's 'Anti-System' Stance Shifts to Shielding Christodoulides

The ELAM party is at the center of criticism for its role as a 'shield' for President Christodoulides following the revelations about the 'Emily Thompson' video. Instead of criticizing the government over the issue of the Social Support Agency, ELAM adopts a stance reminiscent of a government one, supporting the narrative of a 'hybrid war'. The party's behavior in the Institutions and Oversight Committee has raised questions, as it appears to be more concerned about the video leak than about the revelations of black money and favors. Critics argue that ELAM has abandoned its 'anti-system' role and now functions as a supporter of the government.
