"Too late Anastasiades remembered transparency", says AKEL
Earlier in a written statement, AKEL stressed that "too late Nicos Anastasiades remembered transparency".
It also noted that "until today, Mr Anastasiades had not refuted what his former adviser had denounced against him in his three books. Now, under pressure from the initiative of Andreas Mavroyiannis, who asked the Anti-Corruption Authority to investigate all the testimonies and allegations of Makarios Drusiotis, Mr. Anastasiades is also asking for an investigation."
"The man who for ten years now has become synonymous with the conflict of interests and the growth of corruption in Cyprus has decided that he wants investigations...", AKEL adds, among other things.
The government responds to AKEL in relation to the shots it is taking at the journalist's references in the book "State Mafia", Makarios Drushiotis.
Specifically, in a written statement, government spokesman, Marios Pelekanos, calls on AKEL to read the statements it issued when Mr Drusiotis was writing various things in relation to Russia's responsibility for the Cyprus problem.
"We also invite it to read what Mr Mavroyiannis was saying about this particular author regarding what happened in Crans Montana," notes Pelecanos.
"What narrative are they adopting? That of Mr Mavroyiannis or that of Mr Drushiotis, who essentially classifies Mr Mavroyiannis as part of the 'gang'?" asks Mr Pelecanos.

He also points out that "it seems that in AKEL they did not realise that the regulations of the Anti-Corruption Authority have not yet been passed by the House of Representatives. We call for the last time on AKEL to abandon nihilism and not to forget the "indifferent political prisoners" it has in its ranks."
"Nor should it forget that the Al Jazeera video does not feature a member of the government, but a member of the Central Committee of AKEL that has corrupted Cyprus worldwide," it adds.
"The President of the Republic does not need admonitions, and does not hesitate, for the sake of protecting the rule of law, to call for the ex officio examination of even malicious, unsubstantiated and false allegations such as those made by the late author," Mr.
