2 d. ago Our View: Politicians cooperating with the EAC unions that protect EAC’s monopoly

Disy deputy Kyriakos Hadjiyiannis was perfectly justified to censure President Nicos Christodoulides for his “highly unlawful” intervention in the setting of the electricity authority’s new tariff. The tariff increase of 7.5 per cent, which was requested by the EAC and is linked to the authority’s 10-year development programme, had been approved by the Cyprus Energy […]

Ever since its independence, Cyprus has enjoyed relations with India. There was probably solidarity as both had been British colonies that fought for their freedom, and both suffered the consequences of the Colonial Office’s divide and rule policy. After independence, Cyprus became a member of the Soviet-backed Non-Aligned Movement, in which India played a leading […]

The speed with which deputy minister of culture Vasiliki Kassianidou reacted to withdraw a book from the Cyprus stand at the 19th Architecture Biennale in Venice on Wednesday (and from the internet) because a Diko deputy took offence at its content was quite astonishing.

When President Nikos Christodoulides first spoke about his government’s plans to develop Cyprus’ defence industry at the end of last year, many may have thought he was joking.
