Chaos at the Limassol Municipal Council

Yesterday's Limassol Municipal Council meeting was marred by heated disagreements and offensive comments between the Deputy Mayor of Mesa Geitonia, Marios Protopapas, and the Mayor, Yiannis Armeutis, as well as Deputy Mayor Demos Katsis. Protopapas' behavior was so aggressive that it led to the abrupt adjournment of the session, as there were threats of physical violence. The remaining councilors almost unanimously sided with Katsis, believing his reaction was justified. This incident is not the first at the Limassol Municipal Council and is expected to spark discussion about managing internal disputes and maintaining a climate of mutual respect.
