Politis to the Point UNITED Ep.01: Social Cohesion, Trauma and Reunification – The Cyprus Issue Beyond Politics

The new podcast UNITED by Politis to the Point discusses the Cyprus issue beyond political terms and explores its impact on people and their stories with guests from across the social spectrum. The first guest is political analyst and Volt Cyprus co-chair, Andromachi Sofocleous. The discussion focuses on the so-called “bi-communal bubble”, where peace initiatives remain limited to small circles without institutional support and broad publicity. It examines how to talk about a solution without fostering fear and how to prepare a society that has grown up in trauma and insecurity. Furthermore, it questions why there has never been a conscious, collective decision for peace and what the Bicommunal, Bizonal Federation really means beyond slogans and vague promises. The podcast is conducted in English with Greek subtitles.
