Cyprus Changes Rules for Former Leaders

Cyprus wants to change an old law. The old law helps former presidents and speakers for their whole life. They get a car with a driver and bodyguards forever.

Now, politicians want a new law. The new law gives help for only five years. After five years, the car and bodyguards stop. The state will save money.

One politician disagrees with part of the plan. She says the help for a secretary should also stop after five years.

The politicians will vote on the new law soon.
