Ξεκάθαρο παράδειγμα ότι στην Κύπρο δε θέλουμε μόνο παραγωγικούς και αφομοιωμένους στην κοινωνία μετανάστες. Ας πούμε τα πράγματα με το όνομα τους: απαραίτητο προσόν είναι και το να μην είναι μαύροι. Ντροπή.

Two problems, endemic to Cypriot society, are illustrated here. First, corruption is rampant - if you know the right people, you can get away with (alleged) murder without a proper investigation. Second, the authorities have made a habit of not taking women’s testimonies seriously. Disgusting.

Οταν έχτιζα το σπίτι μου, εσκέφτηκα παραπάνω το payment plan απ’όσον το σκέφτηκαν η Ελληνική και Κυπριακή κυβέρνηση για το καλώδιο. Πώς γίνεται να μη λέει το συμβόλαιο πότε θα γίνει η πρώτη πληρωμή;! Πρωτοετής φοιτητής νομικής θα έγραφε πιο watertight συμβόλαιο. cyprus-mail.com/2025/07/01/a...

North relaxes casino laws after day of wrangling

Millions of people are worried about paying their rent, feeding their kids or losing vital disability benefits. If the government cared about people's security, it would reverse cruel cuts, end child poverty and pursue an agenda for peace. Let's fund welfare, not warfare.

He's been hinting at his retirement for the past year, but hasn't been pushing any apparent successor (and no one in the AK-verse comes close to his popularity). Still lots of time before 2028 though. This could also be a ruse before orchestrating his supporters to beg him for another run though.
