Everyone is lying except former President of the Republic and DISY Honorary President Nicos Anastasiades

 

23 June 2026, AKEL C.C. Press Office, Nicosia

At today’s press conference, the former President of the Republic and Honorary President of the Democratic Rally DISY party Nicos Anastasiades, spent almost an hour trying to convince everyone that everyone is lying except him.

The Anti-Corruption Authority, international news networks, the international press, and anyone who dared to suggest that institutional entanglement and corruption took off during his administration are all lying.

According to Mr. Anastasiades, it’s all lies—just as his trips and transactions with a Saudi tycoon were lies, as was the involvement of his law firm’s involvement in the “golden passport” scandal.

The question is who—apart from the DISY leadership and his successor, Nicos Christodoulides—is left to believe him.

AKEL demands a purge. It demands an impartial and unbiased investigation into all the findings made by the Anti-Corruption Authority and the bringing of all suspects to justice. This presupposes the immediate resignation of G. Savvides and S. Angelides from their positions as Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, respectively.

Only then will the way be paved for the credibility of our institutions and the functioning of the rule of law in our country to be fully restored.
