Cyprus's Direct Democracy party has called for the resignation of the attorney-general and his deputy, citing a need to restore trust in public institutions amid ongoing controversies over the handling of a major corruption investigation.

• Direct Democracy submitted a resolution for the resignation of attorney-general George Savvides and deputy Savvas Angelides.
• The motion follows criticism over the handling of the Mafia State affair and the anti-corruption authority's investigation into former president Nicos Anastasiades.
• The government plans to appoint independent investigators to review the authority's findings, but opposition parties argue they should be selected by the authority itself.
