AKEL Criticizes Christodoulides, Questions Transparency Regarding Controversial Video

AKEL has criticized the Christodoulides government for the resignations following the release of the video, describing them as belated and with farcical justifications. The party questions the government's denial of any connection to the activities of Lakotrypi, citing a report claiming that Lakotrypi held a joint video conference with Haralambous and the 'investor'. AKEL calls on the Presidential Palace to confirm or deny the report and expresses doubts about the President's genuine willingness to investigate and hold accountable, as he is allegedly involved in the corruption mechanism. Furthermore, AKEL criticizes institutions such as the Attorney General, the Police, and the Anti-Corruption Authority for their lack of action.
