Establishing Policies for Farmers' Protests

May 7, 2026

Justice Minister Costas Fitsiris stated that farmers will not be allowed to close the Rizoelia roundabout during their planned protest. The police have been given strict orders to ensure traffic is not disrupted. The Minister emphasized that while the right to protest is respected, it should not affect other citizens. A meeting will take place this afternoon at the Larnaca Police Department to establish measures. Previous police actions faced challenges, raising questions about the effectiveness of these measures.
