Presidential Office Denounces Video as 'Malicious and Edited'

The Presidential Office responded to allegations arising from the publication of a video on the X platform, which allegedly shows discussions about funding to the government involving officials, businessmen, and investors. Government Spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis described the video as “malicious and a product of editing,” arguing that it attempts to damage the image of the government and the country. Simultaneously, former Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis filed a police complaint regarding the video, stating that his statements had been edited to harm Cyprus, the President of the Republic, and himself personally, especially after the start of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU.
