The President Should Protect the Country, Not the Minister

The article criticizes the President of Cyprus for assigning the portfolio of Agriculture to Minister Panagiotou, arguing that this move does not represent political rationality, but an attempt to protect the minister from criticism, and by extension, the President himself. The author argues that the best protection for the minister is her immediate replacement, given the 'burdened image' she projects through her political actions and performance.
