The Mayor of Paphos, Phaedonas Phedonos—who is currently on suspension—expresses serious concern regarding the demographic and social changes taking place in the Paphos district.

Citing specific data, he notes that 70.6% of land and real estate sales involve non-Cypriot buyers, while Greek Cypriots now account for only about 55% of the district's population. He poses the question: where is Paphos heading if the current trend continues?

He also makes specific reference to the composition of the student population in the district’s primary schools.

Phaedonas Phaedonos calls on the State to address the issue immediately through substantive policies—rather than mere public relations gestures—and provides the following table to illustrate his point.
