Anastasia Anthousi: Dissolution of the Social Support Agency is Inevitable - It Was Founded for a Different Purpose

Former Deputy Minister of Social Welfare, Anastasia Anthousi, believes that the dissolution of the Independent Social Support Agency is necessary, as the purpose for which it was founded is no longer served under current economic conditions. Ms. Anthousi, a parliamentary candidate with DISY, recalls that the Agency was established by the former First Lady, Andri Anastasiades, and that she herself served in it for a period. She believes that the recent video that has come to light confirms the correctness of her position and that the resignation of the First Lady is not a solution. She emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability, as public trust in institutions is eroding. Ms. Anthousi had expressed similar views in the past, specifically in November 2025.
