Fact Check: Claims of No Contact Between President Christodoulides and Giorgos Chrysos Disproven

A claim that there was no contact between President Christodoulides and Giorgos Chrysos after the elections has been proven inaccurate by Fact Check Cyprus. Despite denials from Deputy Government Spokesman Viktor Papadopoulos, who stated that the last contact was an unanswered congratulatory message, evidence shows that Mr. Chrysos participated in an official meeting chaired by President Christodoulides at the Presidential Palace in July 2024. The meeting concerned energy issues, and Mr. Chrysos attended in his institutional capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Electricity Market Association. This fact contradicts previous statements and highlights the need for transparency and accuracy in public information.
