“Early yesterday morning, around 4:30 a.m., on Kanari Street, right in the center of Paphos, some people thought it was okay to set fire to two Paphos Municipality construction sites. Thanks to the immediate response of the Fire Department, the fire was extinguished. A big thank you to our firefighters for their prompt response and their efforts. I really wonder what someone could possibly be thinking when they commit such acts. What are they trying to prove? That they’re a “tough guy”? That they can do whatever they want without regard for anyone else? Because if some people think this is “tough,” they’re sorely mistaken. Municipal property isn’t a free-for-all. It belongs to all of us; it’s paid for out of the residents’ own pockets, and no one has the right to destroy it just because they feel like it. Fortunately, there is a security camera at the site, and I hope the footage will help identify those responsible. And one more thing. Whoever they may be, whatever position they hold, and whoever they know, if their involvement is proven, they must be held accountable before the courts. We cannot, on the one hand, strive to build a better Paphos, while on the other, some people, through such unacceptable behavior, destroy everything that is being accomplished. Show some respect at last for this city and the property that belongs to all of us! And let’s not forget one thing: True courage lies in respect, not in destruction.”
