MUD AS A NEW NORMAL - Filenews 19/4 by Kostis Konstantinou

The most shocking thing about the "Santis" case is not the number of atrocities that were said, nor even the ease with which they were told. What is really shocking, now that the wake is finally receding, is the simplicity with which these miserables have been adopted by a part of society. Unfortunately, and by a significant portion of journalists and the media. The ease with which this public lynching of people was considered - again - not only normal, but also almost imperative. An "obligation" of the citizen in the name of an abominable "morality".

CARMAKERS REPURPOSE BATTERY FACTORIES FOR AI ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS - Cy Mail 19/4 by Reuters News Service



Carmakers and battery companies facing a weak US market for electric vehicles are scrambling to repurpose battery factories to make energy-storage systems to fuel AI’s thirst for power instead. But converting plants to new types of batteries won’t be easy, ​nor will the demand for energy storage materialize fast enough to absorb a glut of unused factory space for EV batteries.

REFURBISHED OLD HOSPITAL THE SITE OF A NEW LARNACA TOWN HALL - Cy Mail 18/4 by Tom Cleaver


The new town hall which will be built in Larnaca “will perfectly reflect the European capital of culture” – the title which the town is set to hold in 2030 – deputy mayor Iasonas Iasonides said on Saturday.

He told the Cyprus News Agency that the municipality intends to sell a plot of land it owns on the town’s central Hermes street to fund the construction of a new town hall on the site of the old Larnaca hospital.

Once a successful bidder for the site is found, he said, “all the practical and necessary documents” will be sent to the central government, which will then be expected to give its final approval for the sale.

‘WE'VE TICKED ALL THE BOXES' FOR SCHENGEN ENTRY

Government says Cyprus has met all the technical requirements, but Green Line remains a hurdle

The government insists Cyprus is well on track to join the Schengen Area. Notably, though, it no longer says this will happen this year but rather that this is their goal, time-wise.

The buoyant outlook it’s projecting may be genuine – or a case of doubling down on prior rhetoric, with President Nikos Christodoulides having repeatedly played up his election-campaign promise from 2023.

On February 5, Christodoulides said the island was “finalising” technical preparations for full integration into the Schengen zone in 2026.
