Awkward Start to Election Campaign in Cyprus

The start of the election campaign for new candidates has been marked by the need to address broader political issues, such as Cyprus's position in history and the sovereignty of the British Bases, rather than immediately presenting their programs.

The peculiarity of the British Bases is highlighted, where the police of the Bases have jurisdiction and traffic fines are paid to them, underlining their sovereign position.
