Municipal Secretary Leaves Paphos Municipality Amid Legal Issues
February 5, 2026
In the Paphos Municipality, Mayor Phaedon Phaedonos has been suspended due to potential criminal offenses, leading to the departure of the municipal secretary, Themis Filipidis. Filipidis has continued to work at the municipality despite being on early retirement leave, which is unlawful. The law mandates his immediate departure and the need to advertise the position for a new secretary. The deputy mayor noted that the position should have been announced six months prior. Soon, another employee will temporarily take over duties at the municipality.
