Parties React to Resignations – Return to Controversial Video

The resignations of Philippa Karsera from the Support Body and Charalambos Charalambous from the Presidential Palace, in the shadow of the controversial video, have sparked reactions from political parties. The President of the Republic described the moments as critical and Charalambous's resignation as an act of trust and self-confidence. However, parties continue to demand explanations and criticize the Presidential Palace, believing that the resignations are insufficient. DISY calls for an action plan, accountability, a full and independent investigation, and changes to the Body's Fund or even its abolition. AKEL describes the resignations as belated and the accompanying justifications as insulting to the intelligence of citizens, implying that the President knew and participated in entanglement mechanisms.
