AIRSOFT FASCINATES AND SPREADS IN CYPRUS - WHAT WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT ARE USED- HEADING TO PARLIAMENT FOR LEGISLATIVE REGULATION
Filenews 25 December 2025 - by Petros Afxentiou
From a limited hobby of a few friends, airsoft has evolved in recent years into an organized activity with a nationwide presence, attracting more and more friends of strategy, teamwork and simulation.
Although in many European countries it is applied with clear safety rules, in Cyprus there is still no specific legislative framework regulating the conduct of competitions and the possession of the relevant equipment.

The decision, which was unanimous and was issued by Judge I. Stylianidou, concerns a case in which the Paphos Criminal Court had convicted the respondent, following his admission, of importing, possessing and possessing for the purpose of supplying a controlled Class B drug, specifically 8 kilograms and 154.9 grams of cannabis.

GOVERNMENT SETS MINIMUM WAGE AT €1,088, ANGERING UNIONS AND EMPLOYERS ALIKE
in-cyprus 24 December 2025 - by Charalambos Zakos
The government yesterday set the minimum wage at €1,088 for 2026 and 2027, triggering immediate pushback from both unions and employers.
Labour Minister Marinos Moushouttas brought the proposal to Cabinet, which approved issuing a decree setting the minimum wage at €1,088, up from the current €1,000. The decision factored in 2024 inflation of 1.8% and a 2025 forecast of 0.2%, economic growth rates of 3.9% and 3.4% for the two years respectively, and unemployment falling to 4.9% in 2024 with a forecast of 4.3% for 2025 – a level corresponding to full employment.
