Kleanthous on Controversial Video: Investigation Yes, Smear Campaign No

Marinos Kleanthous, Vice President of the Democratic Alignment (DIPA), expressed concern over the toxic climate surrounding the controversial video, calling for an investigation with composure and trust in the institutions. He stressed the need to avoid a witch hunt, premature convictions, and the instrumentalization of the case for petty political gain. He warned of the risk of further videos being leaked, which could lead to a fragmented and sterile pre-election period. DIPA insists on an immediate and independent investigation, but emphasizes that no one should be above the law.
