Focus on… Foreigners

The article refers to the recent incidents in Larnaca and the political approach to crime in Cyprus. The author argues that the government disproportionately focuses on the involvement of foreigners in crime, using it as a political tool to maintain power, especially in view of the 2028 elections. He criticizes the lack of honesty and the tendency to attribute problems solely to foreigners, while overlooking internal causes and scandals. He points to the government's cooperation with ELAM as an example of this policy.
