The Democratic Rally (DISY) is facing a internal split after Charis Georgiadis announced he will not support Averof Neophytou’s bid for the party nomination. Mr Georgiadis, a Member of Parliament, accompanied his refusal with a resignation from his post as president of the 'Glavkos Kleridis' Institute. It is a calculated blow to Mr Neophytou, the former party leader, delivered just as he officially submitted his candidacy.
The Holy Synod has summoned the former Metropolitan of Paphos over reports of a breakaway church being formed in a private residence. Authorities in the Church of Cyprus are investigating claims that divine liturgies and sacraments are being conducted in a Paphos home. While the bishops deal with dissent, the police are dealing with one of their own: a 42-year-old officer has been suspended and faces court after cannabis and handmade cigarettes were found in her car.
Diplomatic efforts resume as President Nikos Christodoulides prepares to meet Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman before the arrival of a UN envoy. Elsewhere, the energy sector provided a rare moment of certainty as Eni confirmed the Kronos gas field is expected to produce 500 million cubic feet of natural gas daily. In energy, as in diplomacy, the figures are impressive; the difficulty remains getting them to the surface.
