Farmers Block Rizoelia Intersection – Justice Minister Meets Protesters
Cypriot farmers have blocked the Rizoelia intersection and are protesting against government measures. Justice Minister Dimitris Fytiri drove through the protesters during a trip to an EU special meeting and had to reduce his speed. Police are diverting traffic and recommend motorists use alternative routes: from Larnaca to Nicosia via the Kalo Chorio roundabout or to the Famagusta district via Avdellero.
