Cyprus is changing its legal system. The goal is to build more public trust. It also aims to make legal cases finish faster. New leaders have been appointed. A new Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General will help improve the system. The Minister of Justice will also talk with police unions. This shows a plan to make the legal system better.
George Savvides is the new Attorney General. Savvas Angelides is his deputy. They started on Monday. They are expected to bring honesty and strong legal skills. This change was a little late. It shows the government wants a stronger justice system. The old leaders have given their work to the new team. They must make the system work better for everyone.
The Ministry of Justice is also working with the police. Minister Costas Fitiris will meet police union leaders on Friday. They will discuss new plans for the police. This includes working hours. Police unions did not like the first ideas. Nikos Loizides from the Isotita union shared these worries. He said many police officers disagree with the plans.
Minister Fitiris wants to solve these problems. He said, "We must do our jobs for society." He also said, "Staff needs can be discussed properly." He does not want public arguments. A police spokesperson said, "The chief is not fighting with officers." The meetings will try to balance police staff needs and the police mission.
These changes are important for Cyprus. The new leaders in the Attorney General's office will start old reform ideas. They want to make people trust the system again. The success depends on the new leaders' skills. They must also be open and honest. Solving police union problems can make the police force stronger. These steps show Cyprus wants a better justice system.
