Paphos Mayor Fires Back at Interior Minister Over Balcony Collapse Response

The Mayor of Paphos, Phaedonas Phaedonos, strongly responded to the Interior Minister, Nikos Nouris, regarding his statement about the balcony collapse in Paphos. Mr. Phaedonos accuses the Minister of failing to manage the migration issue and of allowing the use of unsuitable buildings by asylum seekers and migrants. He points out that the Municipality of Paphos has issued orders prohibiting the use of two buildings, but the relevant state services did not cooperate to evict the tenants, while continuing to subsidize rents. He warns that the eviction of approximately 300 people will take place within the week and emphasizes that he will not allow the responsibility to be placed on the Municipality for the consequences.
