Yeroskipou protests against planned new amphitheatre stage

Yeroskipou protests against planned new amphitheatre stage

Residents of Yeroskipou staged a sit-in protest against plans to construct a new concrete stage for the village’s amphitheatre. They called on the local council to suspend the decision to allow the new council to review the matter after the upcoming elections. The current small size of the playing area of the amphitheatre was described as a decorative element, and there are plans to build a 13-meter diameter stage for events. It was also mentioned that holding events at the square would prevent it from becoming a ghetto of foreigners and would revitalize the neglected village center.
