The Tychikos Issue is Not Over

The case of Metropolitan Tychikos is not over, despite the Synod's decision to suspend him. Further developments are expected, especially if Tychikos refuses to hand over the keys to the Metropolis. At the same time, the Archbishop is seeking to amend the statute to abolish the election of bishops and metropolitans by the people, which is being resisted by Athanasios' team. Furthermore, Athanasios' team is planning to counter any candidate for Paphos proposed by George with cyber warfare, also utilizing Russian technological capabilities.
