EDEK files complaint against candidate Andreas Apostolou for alleged data breach

The political party EDEK has announced plans to file a formal complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner against DIKO candidate Andreas Apostolou. The party alleges that Apostolou’s campaign team has been illegally contacting EDEK members via telephone to solicit votes. EDEK claims this practice has been ongoing for some time, initially prompting the party to ignore the actions. The situation escalated after a phone call was allegedly placed to an EDEK parliamentary candidate in Larnaca. EDEK describes the actions as a breach of personal data and a lack of political ethics. Apostolou’s campaign has not yet provided a public rebuttal to these specific allegations. The party stated that it is acting to protect the privacy of its members and to inform the public regarding these practices.
