The MP and former president of the Ecologists' Movement, George Perdikis, denied any involvement in the leak of documents to the Arab network "al jazeera".
In particular, he stressed that neither he nor his associates are involved in the case.
He added that it is an honor for the Movement and its collaborators who showed unsuspecting interest in time and researched the issue of naturalizations, when others ducked and made a personal profit from this case, exposing Cyprus worldwide.
He also stated "for the umpteenth time that whatever information the police want, either in terms of documents or in terms of our communication with the Arab network al jazeera, we are at its disposal at any time it wants, even today to have a meeting to deliver ". He added that he had said this for fifteen days and "it is questionable why the police did not respond. "Maybe because it's not really about the research he's doing."
He stressed that "some people are trying to disorient. Some, for example, took the news out of yesterday that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to comment on the Auditor General's investigation into naturalizations. Instead they chose to project whispers and rumors. The real news is that the Ministry of Finance is blocking the Auditor General's investigation, the Finance Committee is waiting for the Auditor's findings and on Monday it will be before the Commission to investigate the Ministry of Finance, which last Monday chose to send a low-ranking official. instead of going to the Commission himself ".
He called "to go to his office to get information, to give them the communications I had with al jazeera, which to clarify that he did not ask for or receive documents from us. He asked for an interview, a political statement. And it is a political statement that I refused, not to give him documents, because I did not want to support that investigation. And my colleague did not have instructions to give documents but to cover the needs of the station with a political statement ".
