A political dispute has emerged in Cyprus between the opposition party AKEL and President Nikos Christodoulides regarding the purchase of a new armored limousine for the President. Earlier today, President Christodoulides stated that he was unaware of the intention to purchase the vehicle and only learned about it this morning from press reports.

In response, AKEL issued a statement strongly criticizing the President, arguing that he is exposing himself and insulting the intelligence of citizens. The party pointed out that the decision to purchase the armored limousine was approved by the Council of Ministers, which the President himself chairs. AKEL asserted that instead of choosing transparency, the President has chosen to expose himself with his claims of ignorance.

The opposition party announced that it will not limit its reaction to today's statements. AKEL plans to formally address the substance of the issue during an upcoming meeting of the competent parliamentary Committee on Financial and Budgetary Affairs.
