Residents of Mazotos to Protest Against Desalination Unit Installation

The Mazotos Community Council is organizing a protest rally on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 10 a.m., on the main Mazotos – Kition road, against the government's decision to install a mobile desalination unit in the Mazotos marine area. Local residents consider the decision arbitrary and hasty, as it was made without an environmental study or consultation with the local community. The Community Council has sent a letter of protest to the President of the Republic, relevant Ministers, political parties, and other authorities. The Police will be present at the scene to ensure the smooth running of the event and facilitate traffic. Participants are urged to comply with police instructions, in accordance with the current legislation on public gatherings. The legislation allows the Police to impose restrictions or disperse the gathering if deemed necessary for public order and safety reasons.
