Sunday's Haravgi presents a series of articles addressing critical issues in Cyprus and internationally. One of the main topics is collusion and institutional corruption, with a video exposing the Presidential Palace and bringing old cases back into the spotlight. Simultaneously, there is strong alarm in the agricultural world due to the EU-Mercosur agreement. Andros Kyprianou expresses concern about the prevalence of the law of the strong and the government's inaction, while Michalis Papapetrou warns of the dangers of partition in a world without international law. Another significant issue is the kidnapping of Maduro and the potential violation of international law by the US, raising concerns for small states like Cyprus. Analyses by Anna Koukkidi-Procopiou and Charalambos Chrysostomou shed light on the implications of this development. Domestically, the enormous loss of water and financial resources due to poor management is highlighted, with Angelos Chatzicharalambous emphasizing that water management is a matter of survival. Trade unions are putting pressure on the government for a substantial increase in the minimum wage and strengthening of labor rights. At the same time, silence and impunity against gender-based violence are denounced, as well as obstacles preventing women from accessing justice. The lack of institutional responsibility in this matter is compared to the protection of women in politics in other European countries, where Cyprus is lagging behind. Finally, the prospects of a green transition with a social dimension are examined, with emphasis on the role of energy communities for the energy future of Cyprus. Artificial intelligence and its impact on employment are also the subject of analysis, with reference to threatened professions and Cyprus's readiness to face these challenges.
