First Major Political Defeat for Christodoulides

The resignation of the President Christodoulides's chief of staff constitutes the first significant political defeat for the government, following the publication of the controversial video. The President considers his son-in-law's resignation an act of confidence, however the opposition parties express the view that the resignation is not enough to address the problem. The content of the video has caused turmoil in the functioning of the government and has jeopardized its credibility. The resignation of the President's chief of staff is an attempt to limit the damage, but the opposition insists that more measures are needed.
