The unfortunate case of the foreigner, whose body was found with a bullet from a police officer’s gun, has led to the discovery of yet another Cypriot political party: the United Cypriot Republican Party, which issued a statement in support of the police's actions. Make Police Great Again.
For those who may have missed the details, a foreigner was in a car that was being chased by the police in Potamia, and was later found dead in a field in Strovolos! The autopsy showed death from being hit by a rock, and the post-mortem revealed death from a bullet. In due time, they may even tell us he drowned while jet skiing in the sea. At some point, enough is enough.
the Justice Minister (announced) he would NOT resign, stating that failures and crimes exist everywhere...He’s right, of course, but in Cyprus, we've taken criminal failures to a whole new level.
The bullet was in his back (maybe that’s why they didn’t find it during the autopsy, perhaps they forgot to flip the body over). And precisely because it was in his back, they didn’t tell us he shot himself. But who knows, maybe we’ll hear that too.
AKEL and DISY are calling for clarification of the case, suspecting a cover-up, while Mr. Loizidis appeared enraged on TV, saying the case was solved by the police and the only thing left is to find out who threw the body in the field! Add plenty of exclamation marks; we’ll need them.
And once again, the Justice Minister surprised NO ONE, announcing he would NOT resign, stating that failures and crimes exist everywhere in the world. He’s right, of course, but in Cyprus, we've taken criminal failures to a whole new level.
The much-publicized project for the redevelopment of Larnaca Marina, which was grandiose but collapsed in a hilariously tragic manner, has now led to the Minister's recent announcements that the project will resume soon. However, Diko MP Christos Orphanides, who resigned from the project’s monitoring committee (not that there’s anything left to monitor), has clearly stated that people are tired of hearing words without seeing any results.
So, in addition to the questioning of ministers by opposition MPs, we now have skepticism from MPs in the governing coalition. And you, son of Brutus? Show more trust in the one who committed to getting the project back on track. Personally, I believe the project is not dead. After all, especially in Larnaca, you’ve probably heard the phrase "even the dead win."
