An uproar has prevailed in recent days due to the non-passing by the Parliament of the bill concerning the establishment of a temporary Provincial Council in the Free Province of Famagusta.
This Council will undertake all the work for the implementation of the reform of the local government until 2024. In the remaining provinces, the seat of the Provincial Council will be the respective Metropolitan Municipality, while due to the fact that the city of Famagusta is occupied, the Council of Ministers sent a bill to the Parliament which stipulates that in the Free Province of Famagusta, the seat will be in the most populous Municipality, i.e. the Municipality of Paralimni.
Despite all this, the Parliament closes its work at least until March, with the result that the reforms in the province of Famagusta are literally put in the refrigerator.
It is pointed out that last night members of the local authorities of the province held a symbolic protest outside the Parliament for the non-passing of the bill.
