Former Bishop Tychikos Not Residing in the Metropolis, Salary Reduced Without Decision

The former Bishop of Paphos, Tychikos, is no longer residing in the Metropolis, but in a small room in the garden, without any cost to the Metropolis. Furthermore, his salary has been reduced by 55% without a decision from the Holy Synod, which is considered legally questionable. His lawyer, Irinaios Antoniou Yakoumakis, denounces the distortion of reality and the lack of interest from the Archbishop regarding Tychikos' health and living conditions. The unusual practice of the Archbishop communicating with the Bishops through press releases is also highlighted.
