Government in Deep Political Crisis Over Controversial Video

The government is facing a deep political crisis following the release of a video raising questions about relationships with private individuals and potential collusion. The resignations of the President's Chief of Staff and the First Lady have not calmed the reactions but have reinforced suspicions. AKEL accuses the government of attempting to deflect attention and providing selective answers, while demanding full transparency regarding the donors of the Independent Social Support Agency and the abolition of the existing framework. AKEL MP Andreas Pasourtidis spoke of an organized mechanism that exploited contributions to serve business interests.
