Political escalation between AKEL and DISY regarding the anti-corruption report

The political conflict between the opposition party AKEL and the ruling-aligned party DISY has intensified following the release of a report by the Anti-Corruption Authority. AKEL, through Member of Parliament Aristos Damianou, accused former President Nicos Anastasiades of presiding over institutional corruption, particularly concerning the 'golden passports' scheme. AKEL claims the report implicates the Honorary President of DISY in activities that may constitute criminal offenses. In response, DISY spokesperson Onoufrios Koullas demanded the immediate appointment of independent criminal investigators to examine the allegations. DISY rejected criticism from AKEL, citing the latter's historical involvement in scandals such as the Mari explosion, the Dromolaxia project, and the handling of the economy. Both parties agree on the need for investigation, but they remain locked in a dispute over institutional accountability and historical political conduct. The debate continues as each side calls for the other to acknowledge their past mistakes.
