The Cypriot government, led by spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis, has responded to criticisms regarding the appointment of Ilios Anagnostopoulos to a key role in an investigative team examining corruption allegations. The government asserts that such criticisms, particularly from the left-wing party AKEL, are politically motivated and represent an effort to undermine the integrity of the investigative process before it has even commenced.

Letymbiotis specifically addressed claims from AKEL that the government lacks a unified approach to the Great Sea Interconnector project, refuting these assertions and calling the party's actions a misrepresentation of the situation. He emphasized that the institutional process should not be subjected to politicization and that those criticizing it do so selectively for their own political agendas. The cabinet is set to finalize Anagnostopoulos’s appointment during the upcoming ministerial meeting.

The government has also clarified that it sought input from the Commission Against Corruption regarding Anagnostopoulos's appointment, indicating a level of consideration for the integrity of the investigative process. This has not alleviated concerns among opposition members, who have voiced their dissatisfaction with the leadership's transparency and accountability in handling corruption-related inquiries.
