Rot: Presidential Palace-Ayia Napa a Cigarette's Distance

The article discusses two recent scandals plaguing Cyprus: one concerning corruption revealed through a video from the Presidential Palace, and the other concerning exploitation, sexual harassment, and trafficking in Ayia Napa, revealed by Channel 4. The resignations of those involved in the Presidential Palace are not seen as an act of taking responsibility, but as an attempt at cover-up. Ayia Napa is presented as a place where tourism coexists with illegality and the indifference of the authorities. MP Rita Superwoman acknowledges that these phenomena are well-known. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for action and Cyprus's failure to address these problems.
