Anastasiou on Videogate: There are Protagonists - We Requested Their Removal

The President of EDEK, Nikos Anastasiou, commented on “Videogate” in a television appearance, characterizing it as a political crisis created with specific goals: to damage the credibility of the Republic of Cyprus and to cause an internal crisis. He stated that the European Union had warned the Presidential Palace, but Cypriot services failed to prevent the development. Anastasiou emphasized that there are “protagonists” in the scandal and EDEK requested their removal, without specifically mentioning the First Lady. He expressed the view that the Cypriot people are outraged over issues of transparency and money management and referred to discussions about transferring the Fund of the Forum to the State Scholarships Foundation. Finally, he positively commented on the recent statements of President Christodoulides, emphasizing the need for decisive action to combat corruption.
