Videogate Dilemma Returns: Coalition Parties in Turmoil

A video circulating on the X platform has stirred up trouble within the government and its coalition partners. The video depicts conversations regarding the funding of President Christodoulides' 2023 election campaign and mechanisms for access to the Presidential Palace by interested investors. Featured in the video are the President's Chief of Staff, Charalambos Charalambous, former Energy Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis, and Cyfield CEO Giorgos Chrysoschos. DIKO has already requested explanations, while EDEK is calling for a full investigation. This situation has raised doubts about DIKO's continued participation in the government and has disrupted the pre-election plans of the coalition parties.
