In a journalist’s observation that there is a criticism of the government that he is prosecution of the former Auditor General and the calls of journalists from the police and that it is unprecedented to give such instructions from the Legal Service on this issue, the President of the Republic said that “he is being criticized by the government.
Mr. Christodoulides, he continued, saying: “You know very well that executive power is not involved in judicial authority or investigative authorities. They thought this call of journalists were made. I fully understand the sensitivity of journalists. They could be used, if they wanted, the broadcasts where they were made. But, I repeat, we are not involved as executive power, such phenomena in the past have led to criticism against our country. We are not involved, we do not persecute anyone, we do not see ghosts. Anyone in a democratic country can say whatever they want and at the same time take on the responsibility of what he says. But, I repeat, as executive power we are not involved in any case at all. We have serious challenges to face both interior and abroad. There, our endeavor focuses, no matter how criticized by some, because they believe that this criticism will help them in the pre -election, we are not going to answer and will not, I repeat, to get involved. ”
