🪪Latinopoulou: Mitsotakis lets Erdogan roam unchecked — he keeps threatening us
MEP Aphrodite Latinopoulou says PM Mitsotakis has excluded Cyprus from Greco‑Turkish talks for over two years. Erdogan extorts and demands recognition of the pseudo‑state; Greece never asked for withdrawal of occupying troops and never ruled out talks without Cyprus.
She accuses FM Gerapetritis of bowing to Erdogan and the government of refusing to block Turkish EU accession. Calls Turkish policy expansionist and Greek foreign policy misdirected. Questions why Greece explains Aegean research instead of exercising 12‑mile rights.

Condemns double standards on Turkish clubs in European sport. Criticises Macron; praises Bartella as sole opponent of Turkish EU entry.

☀️Last Day of August, Beaches Filled
Sunday, last day of August. Beaches were packed, like high summer. A TV crew visited Mackenzie beach. Many chose a final swim to say goodbye to this summer. People said that from September obligations return — school, university, work — so this may be their last dip.

Others insisted summer in Cyprus can stretch into October. The season may leave the calendar but not the weather. While conditions allow, Cypriots will keep honoring the beaches every weekend.

🎓Suspension of Western Limassol School Board Operations due to Understaffing
Western Limassol School Board announces indefinite suspension of operations and closure from Monday 1/9/25 due to understaffing across all departments. Problems cited: reduced number of cleaners, reduced technical staff and absence of a health supervisor. Four cleaners cannot cover equipment and financial duties for 25 schools; five workers and one supervisor cannot service 25 school units.
Decision presented as last resort after long appeals and repeated contacts with the Ministry of Education with no result. Insufficient staffing halts effective operation and risks the smooth functioning of 25 schools and service to thousands of pupils and parents.
Board urges immediate Ministry action; suspension remains in force. Signed by the President and Members, School Board of Western Limassol.

🛳️Chaos at the Port of occupied Kyrenia - Dirt and lack of staff
Port of occupied Kyrenia, main gateway for tourism and trade, in disarray for weeks. Severe staff shortages, poor maintenance and failing infrastructure cause long queues at immigration, especially when two ships dock together.

Waiting rooms outdated, dirty, lacking seats and climate control; toilets in very poor condition. Vehicle traffic hit by customs delays, lorry congestion and operational failures tied to understaffing. Weak coordination between Port Authority, Police, Customs and Immigration aggravates problems.

Residents urge solutions: more personnel, modern facilities, better hygiene and improved interagency coordination; aim to fix systems, not blame workers.
