Akel criticizes government silence on Black Cube videogate statement

The opposition party Akel has accused the Christodoulidis administration of maintaining silence for five days following a public statement from the firm Black Cube. The company claimed responsibility for the video involving associates of President Nikos Christodoulidis, asserting that specific business interests were behind the leak. Akel argues that this disclosure invalidates the government's previous claims regarding 'hybrid wars' and foreign interference, which officials had allegedly used to distract the public. The party further demanded accountability regarding the president's campaign funding and connections to economic interests. Additionally, Akel called for full transparency concerning donations and the administrative body of the First Lady. The government has not yet provided official responses to these specific allegations or the requests for data disclosure. Consequently, the party asserts that the continued silence undermines institutional trust.
