Nicosia’s Mayor, Charalambos Prountzos, explained that the decision to increase waste and property taxes in the Engomi municipal district was driven by the need for financial sustainability, reduced state funding, and the legal requirement to prepare a budget.
Speaking at a press conference for the Municipality of Nicosia, he acknowledged that the decision had sparked disagreements, notably from the Deputy Mayor of Engomi and a member of the municipal district.
When asked by K whether further tax adjustments would be made to cover the additional €10 million the Municipality of Nicosia requested in state subsidies, which could place an additional burden on citizens, Prountzos responded that this was not something they intended to pursue.
