From the 'Chichifiogkos' to the Sloppy and Now to the Ridiculous

The article is a scathing critique of the political situation in Cyprus and the reaction of the political leadership to the criticism of Colombian diplomat Maria Angela Olguin. The author believes that the criticism of Olguin was excessive and came late, while pointing out the hypocrisy of the political class that denounces Turkey for violations while failing to effectively address internal problems. The author refers to the tendency of Cypriot politics to resort to easy labeling and attacks instead of dealing with substantial issues. He criticizes the President's reaction to Olguin's statements, considering it unfortunate and pointing out that her criticism concerned the upcoming parliamentary elections and their impact on the Cyprus issue. Furthermore, the author emphasizes the lack of sensitivity of the political leadership to the concerns of society and the tendency to ignore the real needs of citizens. He refers to the rise of ELAM and the inability of other parties to effectively address its extremist rhetoric. Overall, the article is a strong condemnation of the political situation in Cyprus and a call for a more mature and responsible political approach.
