The Truth is Not Edited

Konstantinos Zachariou analyzes the criticality of managing a video that has surfaced, concerning potential irregularities surrounding the Christodoulides government. He points out that the problem is not only the revelation of the events but also the lack of answers from the government. The government attributed the video to a smear campaign, characterizing it as "edited," but avoided commenting on the substance of the allegations. The author argues that invoking editing is not a denial but an attempt to avoid responsibility. Furthermore, he criticizes the silence of independent authorities, such as the Attorney General's Office and the Anti-Corruption Authority, emphasizing that inaction in such cases is perceived as tolerance and cover-up. Zachariou concludes by emphasizing that transparency, accountability, and honest answers are essential for maintaining public trust and preventing institutional erosion. Silence and communication maneuvers undermine the credibility of the government and reinforce the feeling that some are above the law.
