ELAM calls for investigation into leak of classified document regarding presidential vehicle

On September 7, 2026, Marios Pelekanos, a Member of Parliament representing the ELAM party, formally requested an internal investigation and police involvement regarding the unauthorized leak of a confidential document. The document pertains to the proposed procurement of an armored service vehicle intended for the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulidis.

In his letter addressed to the President of the House of Representatives, Annita Demetriou, Pelekanos emphasized that the information involves critical security protocols concerning the protection of the President and other state-protected officials. He urged the House to secure all relevant files and formally report the breach to the police. While acknowledging the importance of media freedom, the party maintains that the disclosure of sensitive security-related intelligence poses a severe threat and necessitates immediate accountability.

The request signifies growing institutional concern over the handling of classified state communications within the legislature. As of now, the House of Representatives is expected to review the demand for a police investigation to determine whether the leak originated from within the legislative body.
