Hundreds of members of the Hunters’ Movement shut down the Rizoelia roundabout in Larnaca on Saturday. The demonstrators called on the government to fulfil pre-election promises.
Police anticipated the central roundabout, a route to the airport, Paralimni, and Larnaca, to remain closed for approximately half an hour.
In a statement, the head of the movement, Elias Pekris, highlighted several issues driving their protest. These include concerns related to depositors who experienced a savings haircut during the 2013 financial crisis, migration issues, and family matters.
During the demonstration, protesters were observed holding signs urging the government to address issues with Akamas and reform laws pertaining to hunting. Additionally, they demanded the resignation of the head of the game fund.
