Ministers' 'Spontaneous' Support for President Under Scrutiny

Following the release of the video, the Ministers of Cyprus have issued successive statements of support for the President, focusing on his virtues such as ethics, integrity and transparency. According to the article, this synchronized reaction does not appear spontaneous, but is likely the result of pressure from the President. The Ministers are trying to convince the public of the President's honesty, calling on citizens not to jump to conclusions before the judicial investigation is completed. However, the article points out the hypocrisy of the situation, as the Ministers themselves are drawing conclusions before the decision of justice. The criticism is directed at the 'blind submission' of the Ministers to the President, which leads them to come forward and defend their leader, even if it means overlooking possible truths. The article highlights the lack of independence and the political pressure exerted on the Ministers. The case of the video, known as 'videogate', has caused strong reactions in Cyprus and raises questions about ethics and transparency in political life.
