August 6, 2025
The investigative committee for the fire in Limassol highlighted serious weaknesses in the Civil Defense during evacuations. Mayors from affected areas reported that Civil Defense was absent, forcing them to make decisions alone. One mayor claimed that Civil Defense provided him with instructions that could lead to the deaths of residents. The parliamentary discussion remained tense and did not focus on the serious issues raised. The testimonies emphasized the need for substantial changes in crisis management.
