How will our country clear its name since Christodoulides does not even admit the corruption during the Anastasiades-DISY decade

 

Statement by AKEL C.C. Spokesperson Giorgos Koukoumas

17 November 2023, AKEL C.C. Press Office, Nicosia

As with the ‘golden’ passport scandal, so now with the Cyprus Confidentials, new investigations and commissions are being announced, which now convince very few people. The corruption of billions of euros and the country’s dragging through the mud across the world did not happen because legislation and mechanisms were absent, but because those who have been in power for the last ten years lacked the will to confront non-transparency, corruption and illegal practices. And how could they want to do so, since they themselves were a key part of this whole system.

It is not through empty talk and promises that President Christodoulides will convince the people that he really wants to “clear the country’s name”, but by actions that affect the government and the President he himself served for ten years.

But how will this be done since to date Mr. Christodoulides does not even admit that there was corruption during the Anastasiades-DISY party decade?
