AKEL: The Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General should have resigned

AKEL is calling for the resignation of the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General following recent developments regarding a report of a threat to the life of a witness in a case. The party expresses serious concerns about the rule of law and the justice system in Cyprus, and demands clear answers about the actions taken to investigate the complaint and protect the witness. AKEL accuses the two Attorneys General of choosing to put prosecutors in public confrontation instead of taking responsibility themselves for the degradation of the institution. Furthermore, it argues that there is a conflict of interest, as both had served as ministers in previous governments that faced scandals such as the “golden passports”. AKEL believes that their resignation is necessary to restore public trust in the institutions.
