Marinakis on Controversial Video: 'Strange Timing'

The Greek Government Spokesman, Pavlos Marinakis, commented on the case of the controversial videos published in Cyprus, describing the timing as 'strange'. He emphasized that the Republic of Cyprus has already taken the necessary steps to investigate the case and the relevant findings are expected. Mr. Marinakis added that the timing coincides with the Cypriot Presidency, while also pointing out that hybrid threats pose a danger to democracies. His reference to hybrid threats suggests the possibility of external interference in the case. The video case has caused strong reactions in Cyprus and has raised questions about the security of communications and the possibility of a breach of state secrets. The investigation of the case is expected to shed light on the circumstances of the video's release and the potential parties involved. Mr. Marinakis' statement underscores the importance of protecting democratic institutions from hybrid threats and the need for close cooperation between EU member states to address such challenges.
