CYPRUS - WHERE THE DAY NEVER ENDS
Cyprus is one of the most burned-out workforces in Europe.
Or so the data says.
According to the latest European Working Conditions Survey, nearly 44 per cent of workers in Cyprus say they feel physically exhausted at the end of the working day – the highest rate among 35 countries surveyed.

PAPHOS - THE OLDEST REGISTERED VOTER AT 105 PREPARES TO VOTE
The oldest registered voter in the Paphos constituency of Tala is preparing to cast her ballot once again at 105 years old.
Argyri (Argyro) Achillea is getting ready to exercise her electoral right, remaining dedicated to a life defined by hard work, dignity, and love for her country.
STATE AID AS A TOOL OF STRATEGY IN ENERGY AND INNOVATION
Cyprus is currently facing a historic challenge. The energy crisis, the green transition, the need for technological modernization and the pressure to strengthen the competitiveness of businesses are creating a new reality, in which the state can no longer operate with low-risk management logics and fragmented interventions. The era requires strategy, speed and political boldness.
And yet, in Cyprus there is still a very conservative approach to the use of state aid. The vast majority of support schemes are based on de minimis aid because it is considered administratively easier, more "safer" and less demanding in terms of compliance.
TOURISM - CONFUSION FROM THE -6.5% OF THE PtD AND THE OTHER DATA
The statement last Tuesday by the President of the Republic that the decrease in visitor arrivals in Cyprus amounts to only 6.5% caused a sensation in tourist circles. The specific percentage cited by Mr. Christodoulidis does not result from either the data of the Statistical Service, or those of Hermes.
In fact, the fact that President Christodoulidis had not clarified to which period he was referring, nor from which source these data came, increased the confusion that was created.
KYRIAKOS PIERRAKAKIS - THE EU SHOULD GO ON THE OFFENSIVE - GSI IS A WIN-WIN PROJECT, MINISSTER OF FINANCE OF GREECE TELLS ''F''
Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Minister of National Economy and Finance of Greece and President of the Eurogroup, sends messages about the role of Europe and the change of strategy it must promote, through his interview with Fileleftheros, on the occasion of his presence here as president of the meeting of the Ministers of Finance of the Eurozone that took place on May 21-23 in Nicosia.
He states in particular that "Europe must stop dealing with every crisis piecemeal and acquire long-term strategic thinking. It is currently faced with a historic choice: either it will act quickly and in a coordinated manner, or it will lose ground, in an international environment that is changing faster than ever."
THOUSANDS OF BUILDINGS WERE LEFT AT THE MERCY OF TIME AND SOME ARE NOW COLLAPSING IN INSTALMENTS
What will happen if the Provincial Self-Government Organizations (EOA), reacting to the pressure to evacuate dangerous buildings, implement the legislation to have peace of mind and at the same time not find themselves accused of causing deaths? The answer is that a social problem will be created at a huge cost for owners, tenants and the state itself.
If in Larnaca only one dangerous apartment building houses 500 people and if we take into account that there are dozens of similar buildings throughout Cyprus, the question is, "where will the residents be relocated, even if they had the financial means to do so"? The answer is that there are not enough buildings to house several hundred people, especially if this has to be done immediately or within a few days after the buildings are declared dangerous.
