Management Instead of Accountability

Konstantinos Zachariou, in his article, criticizes the handling of the video case that has caused turmoil in Cyprus, arguing that the government is seeking to manage impressions rather than take responsibility. He points out that the announced resignations do not answer the key questions about the transactions, funding, and the role of mediation allegedly played by a former minister. The author expresses concern about the lack of substantive investigation and accountability, implying that the President of the Republic is at the heart of the scandal. He also criticizes the inaction of institutions such as the Attorney General, the Police, and the Anti-Corruption Authority, and emphasizes that shifting the discussion to communication management and conspiracy theories is not convincing. Finally, he stresses that transparency is essential for restoring trust in the rule of law and that continued cover-up will lead to further crisis.
