AKEL Calls for Resignations and Fund Abolition Following 'Investor' Video

AKEL has issued a statement regarding the recently circulated video featuring discussions about potential deals with 'investors'. The party demands the immediate dismissal of the Director of the President's Office, Charalambous, and the abolition of the First Lady's Fund, arguing that the video raises serious political, ethical, and institutional issues concerning the President and his associates. AKEL describes the matter as 'institutional collusion and corruption' and calls on relevant authorities (Attorney General, Anti-Corruption Authority, investigative authorities) to investigate the case ex officio. Even if the video is malicious, the authenticity of the claims is not disputed, and AKEL emphasizes that it will act as a bulwark for transparency and accountability.
