Teachers in Nicosia stopped work on Thursday. They did not teach for two hours. Farmers also blocked roads with their tractors. This was a problem for the government's new plans. The protests made the city busy.
Teachers are not happy with a new law. This law is about how they are judged. They think it is not fair. The teachers stopped working from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. They want to show they disagree. Cyprus might lose money from the EU. This money is for changes.
Farmers are also unhappy. They do not like new EU farming rules. They say the rules are too hard. They think it will hurt their money. Many tractors drove in the city. The farmers wanted to talk.
The protests caused problems for people. School buses did not run. Parents took their children to school. Most children must be at school by 9:00 a.m. Some schools were okay.
The roads were very busy. Some farmers went to the palace. Police helped with traffic. These protests showed how people can change things.
