Isn't it ironic? Cyprus propaganda, politics, and the global stage.

From films in the occupied territories to the growing role of the audiovisual industry, and political developments, Cyprus faces both challenges and opportunities on the international scene.

A movie is being made in the occupied territories titled ''Aisie Went on Vacation'', which was also the code name for the Attila operation in 1974. They've even set up modern studios for creating TV series, as it seems they've grasped the importance of imagery in propaganda.

Clearly, Turkey's reaction when it was heard that Famagusta might go to Netflix was no accident. Perhaps it’s time we take more seriously the role that the audiovisual industry can play in showcasing our country and our positions?

With the aim of building trust, a new roadmap for the Cyprus problem has been created. Unfortunately, the road is full of cameras, potholes, and dead ends. May God help us!.

A viral video showed a homeless person building a "shack" under a dock in Limassol, in the shadow of towering skyscrapers. Images we used to only see in foreign megacities like New York. Limassol is soaring, yet at the same time sinking.

I read that members of the English School Council were intimidating the Headmaster to make political favors. Welcome to Cyprus. Given these circumstances, it would be more fitting to call it Cypriot School! You catch the hint, right?

Two more cameras in Limassol. I find us doing just fine. There are more cameras here than in Big Brother’s house, in a system that started off on the wrong foot and was justifiably criticized for several irregularities. Let's hope that, eventually, beyond being a mechanism for collecting fines, the road cameras will mark the beginning of creating a driving consciousness, drastically reducing accidents on the roads.

In a vote organized by European Gymnastics, Marios Georgiou won the top honor of Male Gymnast of the Year. Marios attended the Man of the Year awards last night, where he applauded top athletes like Carolina Pelendritou, Pavlos Kontides, and other Cypriots who stood out in their fields.

Trump says he expects Zelensky to arrive at the White House this Friday to sign agreements on co-exploitation of Ukraine's valuable minerals, despite the fact that the project has been met with protests in Ukraine and beyond.

For now, European reactions aren’t being taken too seriously, as the American Vice President recently stated, "There’s a new sheriff in town." Maybe he meant it metaphorically, but Trump's behavior so far resembles more of a Wild West sheriff than an elected president of a democratic country.
