A range of domestic and international issues shape today’s press review, with education policy, economic pressures and political developments taking centre stage across the major Cyprus newspapers.
Alithia leads with the headline Teachers Targeted, reporting that educators argue the official narrative suggesting they oppose evaluation is misinformation that has created a toxic climate. In another article, the paper writes that while President Nikos Christodoulides did not attend Davos, he has now been invited to Washington by Donald Trump, questioning what practical reasons the President will cite in response. Elsewhere, the paper claims that Fidias is turning the Republic into a risky experiment and outlines three scenarios ahead of the parliamentary elections.
Politis highlights Schemes Involving Luxury Vehicles, reporting that used luxury SUVs and supercars are shipped from the United Kingdom to Cyprus mainly via Bulgaria and the Netherlands. According to the report, forged invoices are allegedly used so the vehicles are registered as EU goods at much lower declared values, allowing them to enter Cyprus exempt from customs duties and taxes. The paper also reports on narcotic substances found in vaping liquids and describes a growing sense of desperation, noting that water shortages are forcing farmers out of production.
Phileleftheros runs with Positive Response to the Invitation, stating that Donald Trump has again invited President Christodoulides, as well as the Greek Prime Minister, to participate in a “Peace Council”, this time in Washington. In separate coverage, the paper reports on warnings over earthquake and tsunami risks affecting the Electricity Authority of Cyprus installations in Dhekelia, citing findings from the Geological Survey Department. It also notes that 107 home foreclosures were cancelled during 2025.
Haravgi headlines A Society Without Protection, Banks Without Limits, writing that AKEL is intensifying pressure for stronger protection of borrowers against what it describes as unchecked practices by banks and credit management companies, amid heightened risks of mass foreclosures. Elsewhere, the paper reports that Nicosia and Tufan Erhürman are preparing to present their positions ahead of a meeting with António Guterres. It also highlights concerns that a single fire station is responsible for covering forest fire needs from Dhekelia to Cape Greco.
