📝Averof: Government - champion of failure in public works
Averof Neofytou flags negative developments in the Paphos–Polis road project. He says he warned in November 2024 that the project was halted without a prior serious assessment of consequences.

He points to legal and technical traps, the risk of a "design and build" choice and overly optimistic cost and time estimates.
An official document, he states, confirms deadlock: legal disputes, delays, rising costs and uncertainty on restarting.

The promised three‑year timetable had no basis.
Cyprus loses time and credibility, he urges sober management, planning and responsibility over slogans.

Doctors removed shrapnel from various parts of their bodies after an explosion during unloading of an unexploded military round. Investigators are tracing where the 52‑year‑old recovered the round and are reviewing how the metals were accepted by the plant and whether the company held the required permits.

💳Fraud in the Name of Private Universities — Concerns Tuition Payments
Cyber Crime Unit receives multiple complaints from private universities and citizens.
Mass emails sent to large numbers of students at various Cypriot institutions.

Messages state alleged outstanding tuition balances and direct recipients to specific bank accounts for payment.
Such payment requests are not standard practice for private universities.

Recipients should be cautious, avoid making any payments, and report the message to their educational institution via official channels.
Universities and police urge verification of any tuition request before action.

Two munitions the 52-year-old brought to factory, probable firing range
A 52‑year‑old Greek Cypriot collected scrap, including two 40 mm propellant charges from a firing range, and brought them to a metal recycling depot. While unloading one charge it detonated, injuring him, a 39‑year‑old worker and a 42‑year‑old customer. Bomb squad recovered the second charge. Investigation points to the Kalo Chorio large‑calibre range.

The 42‑year‑old suffered a ruptured spleen and had it removed. All three underwent surgery to remove shrapnel. Environmental authorities filed notice to the Attorney General over the depot’s illegal operation. The 52‑year‑old may face charges; statements pending recovery.

⚓️One of the most beautiful underwater landscapes of Cyprus:
The shipwreck of Nemesis 1, as it lies on the bottom of Protaras, at a depth of about 30 meters. The shipwreck is home to abundant underwater life: bare reefs, echinacea, mollusks, skeletons and aquatic plants are now its last inhabitants. Whoever visits it (must) leave behind only hot bubbles and take away only beautiful memories...
