Supreme Court overturns promotion to top post

THE Supreme Court yesterday rescinded the promotion of Antonis Constantinou to the position of Director of Farming in the Agriculture Ministry.

This is the second time Vrahimis Hadjihannas has successfully appealed against Constantinou’s promotion to the top government post. Last time round, the Public Service Commission reappointed Constantinou as Director of Farming after the top court cancelled the promotion.

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.
