The OffsiteNews political column “O EFETIS” has learned that Charalambos Charalambous submitted his resignation to President Nikos Christodoulides 3 times from the day the video was released. However, the President refused to accept it.

According to the column, President Christodoulides declined to accept the resignation for the following reasons:

1. He understands that accepting it would amount to an implicit admission.

2. Accepting the resignation would haunt him politically until the 2028 elections, reinforcing the narrative that he appointed relatives who were later forced to resign.

3. Nikos Christodoulides protects his closest associates and does not abandon them.

The resignation issue arises amid intense political pressure following the release of a leaked video allegedly involving questionable funding practices, prompting coalition parties DIKO and EDEK to demand explanations, transparency, and resignations as the government faces one of its most serious crises to date.
