EDEK Calls for Removal of Presidential Official Amidst Corruption Allegations

EDEK is demanding the immediate removal of Charalambos Charalambous, Director of the President's Office, and all individuals involved in the processes depicted in the leaked video, characterizing these actions as indicative of collusion, corruption, and favoritism. They also call for full transparency in all funds related to the government and the presidency, with the public disclosure of contributions and a detailed report on their management. EDEK believes the video's release aims to undermine Cyprus's credibility, especially given its EU Presidency, and that those responsible would have limited opportunities without the tolerance of those involved in the questionable practices. They consider the government's responses so far insufficient and insist on taking drastic measures to restore public trust. The video, according to EDEK, suggests practices that point to corruption and money laundering.
