Nicolas and Cypriot Proverbs

The author comments on the critical stance of Nicolas Papadopoulos (DIKO) towards the President Christodoulides and his government, just weeks after DIKO took over important ministries. This behavior, according to the author, is reminiscent of the Cypriot proverb “give the villager a cucumber, and he’ll tell you it’s not good,” meaning a lack of gratitude and a critical attitude despite receiving benefits.
