πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Mutiny

Charis Georgiadis has formally broken ranks with the Democratic Rally leadership, announcing he will not support Averof Neophytou for the presidency. Mr Georgiadis cited unspecified political missteps for the split; the development has sparked immediate reactions and entered the party into a new period of internal friction. The Council of Ministers has moved to simplify the building permit system. By replacing tiered rates based on area and cost with a flatter fee structure, the government hopes to increase transparency and reduce the time applications spend sitting on official desks. A low-pressure system from the Aegean brought hail and gale-force winds to the island, leaving parts of Larnaca and Limassol without power. Meanwhile, the Church of Cyprus is preparing for a meeting between Archbishop Georgios and the suspended Metropolitan Tychikos; the latter faces anything from a return to grace to permanent deposition.
