PUPILS from 25 secondary schools islandwide yesterday refused to enter their classrooms in protest over their teachers’ adoption of a “work to rule”.
It is estimated that one in four secondary schools were paralysed yesterday after teachers’ union, OELMEK pushed forward with its decision to abstain from any extracurricular activity, as a response to what they felt was a lack of appreciation for their profession by the state and society.
Students were livid at their teachers’ actions. Many students felt that the teachers were holding their future to ransom for their own financial gains.
DISY LEADER Nicos Anastassiades went over the top on Sunday with his no-holds barred attack on the government, the Attorney General and the police. His angry outburst came immediately after attending a memorial service for five victims of the Mari blast, but despite his feelings he should have exercised some restraint when speaking in front of the cameras.
He said the attempt of the police investigation, to put the blame on the certain victims of the explosion was the work of “sick minds” and “bullies”. He also labelled the president a “scoundrel” and wondered “where the country is heading with such brainless leaders”. This was not what we expected to hear from Anastassiades, a party leader who had come to be regarded as the voice of reason.
THE LIKELY non-prosecution of Leonidas Pantelides, the head of the President’s diplomatic office, is a “foul-up” that could have sweeping effects on the indictments regarding the Mari disaster, legal sources tell the Mail.
According to a leaked police report, Pantelides is not among the 12 people named as being liable to criminal charges.
But the independent investigation by Polis Polyviou holds Pantelides responsible for neglect of duty: it suggests that, after September 2010, Pantelides did not keep the President sufficiently informed about the state of the munitions despite being aware of hazard warnings from the military.
LAWYERS of the family of Captain Andreas Ioannides, the navy commander who died in the Mari blast, had strong words against the ‘leaked police report’ handed over to the Attorney-general.
The report allegedly says that Ioannides and naval base commander Lambros Lambrou knew of the existence and content of the containers.
However, they “took no preventative measures to avoid the explosion and evacuate the naval base during the fire, but on the contrary, Ioannides asked to recall staff,” the report allegedly says.
Ioannides had only been informed that the cargo’s contents were of the “highest national importance,” Ioannides’ lawyers, Demetris Araouzos and Anastasios Antoniou said in a written statement.
THE EU Presidency is one of the biggest challenges Cyprus will face as a state, said deputy minister for EU affairs Andreas Mavroyiannis yesterday in his first public appearance since getting the job.
The combination of Turkish threats against Cyprus’ sovereignty, ongoing peace talks and a global economic crisis provide Cyprus with “the worst conjunction” to have during its six-month Presidency starting next July, said the Cypriot diplomat.
Mavroyiannis described Turkey’s threats to freeze co-operation with the EU Council during Cyprus’ Presidency as “unheard of and totally unacceptable”.
FIREFIGHTERS were battling four separate blazes in Paphos last night with two still not under control going on midnight.
The fires started at around 6.30pm. The fire services managed to bring two under control by 10pm but a further two – considered dangerous – had were still burning.
One fire in Kissonerga had eaten up over 10 hectares of land and almost licked the nearby army camp getting as close as 150 metres before Fire Services managed to control it.
It engaged over ten fire engines.
A fire in Kathikas devoured over 30 hectares of dry vegetation and engaged 13 vehicles including one excavator. Three helicopters were also assisting fire services.
POLICE have uncovered a college network scam, by which immigrants seeking work were brought to Cyprus with forged student documents by a Nicosia college.
According to police, 21 Sri-Lankan nationals were stopped at Larnaca airport on Sunday, while trying to enter Cyprus with forged documents, after a flight from Amman.
The issue of immigrants posing as students, in order to come to Cyprus, has been an ongoing phenomenon for years. With student visas being easier to secure than employment clearance for non-EU foreigners, some private colleges have been thought to facilitate the influx of immigrant workers by seemingly registering them on their courses. The immigrants then work illegally while not attending college.
MUNICIPALITIES could soon be hiring private traffic wardens to stalk the streets in search of illegally parked cars, according to new legislation pending parliamentary approval.
The bill has been prepared by the communications ministry to tackle to the perennial problem of dodgy parking, and has won the approval of the police and union of municipalities.
Asked about the bill, the ministry’s senior executive engineer Michalis Lambrinos said yesterday: “This legislation gives municipalities the right to outsource parking regulation. Through contracts they can access the private sector to manage illegally parked cars or cars that have stayed longer than the period.”
The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
