Antoniou: We Were Informed Months Ago About Potential Hybrid Threats

Nicosia was informed by Brussels 3-4 months ago about potential hybrid threats, ahead of taking over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Deputy Government Spokesman Yannis Antoniou stated on RIK radio. He added that the video that has come to light is a combination of real footage with edited audio and images, showing serious indications of malicious and bad-faith editing with strong characteristics of organized propaganda. He clarified that the Director of the President's Office will no longer be by his side if he commits any reprehensible act. The President is under attack regarding his integrity and calls on anyone with evidence to submit it to the authorities for investigation. Careful management of the negative image being created for Cyprus during its presidency is urged.
