The President's Brother-in-Law, Charalambos Haralambous, Resigns and Declares “Proud”

The Director of the President's Office, Charalambos Haralambous, resigned following the uproar caused by the controversial video, declaring himself “proud” of his work. The resignation comes after testimonies to the Police, where Mr. Haralambous argued that his involvement in the video was presented as manipulated and fragmentary. This move has escalated political reactions and criticism towards the Government. Mr. Haralambous hints at “malicious attacks” against the institutions and the Republic of Cyprus, while at the same time expressing his belief in his integrity. His resignation adds new pressure on the Government and intensifies the political turmoil in Cyprus.
