Government Addresses Rising Crime Rates

The government assures that it is taking measures to address the increase in crime and ensure the safety of citizens. Deputy Government Spokesman, Yannis Antonious, stated that these developments are causing concern to the President of the Republic and the government, but emphasizes that law enforcement agencies are working seriously to address the situation. The state is determined to act repressively, but within the framework of legality. Reference is made to a recent attack in Larnaca, where a 32-year-old was injured with a sharp object and is hospitalized in stable condition.
