Two important people left the President's office. This is because of a video online. The video might show illegal things. It may also show problems with rules. This is hard for President Nikos Christodoulides. Cyprus will lead the European Union soon.
A video came out on January 8th. A former official said he was recorded. He said the video was changed. This led to a new check. A former judge will lead this check. It will look at the video and any crimes.
Charalambos Charalambous resigned. He worked in the President's office. Philippa Karsera also resigned. This happened after some people were unhappy. They felt the government was slow.
Some people think the video was made for now. This is because Cyprus will lead the EU. The check will see if the video is real. It will also look for reasons why. Money for energy is also being studied.
This has caused staff changes. Opposition parties are worried. They want more openness. This is a bad time for the President. He has a big EU meeting. The check will take three months. The government will try to fix things.
