The left-wing opposition party, AKEL, has renewed its criticism of the Presidential Office regarding the reappointment of the President of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AAADIPA), Roussel Paschalides, amid ongoing investigations into the “videogate” scandal. This controversy centers around allegations involving government corruption, illicit financial practices, and connections to potential illicit funds. AKEL contends that the timing of Paschalides's reappointment is alarming and undermines the integrity of the inquiries being conducted.

In a statement released on July 13, 2026, AKEL expressed that only President Nikos Anastasiades appears to be proud of the existing practices within the government, suggesting a disconnect between the administration's actions and public accountability. They characterized the situation as a significant institutional and political issue, contending that the government should demonstrate awareness of the implications for ongoing investigations connected to “videogate.” The party has called for greater transparency and accountability regarding the handling of the investigations, asserting that the reappointment could compromise their credibility.
