Cyprus has new leaders for its legal system. George Savvides is the new Attorney General. Savvas Angelides is the new Deputy Attorney General. They were sworn in recently. This is an important step for justice in the country. These appointments aim to help people trust the legal system more.
The change happened because the old Attorney General’s term was ending. President Nicos Anastasiades spoke at the ceremony. He said the new leaders must be very honest and have good morals. They also need to be very skilled in law. This will help them with their important jobs.
Both Savvides and Angelides have worked in government before. Savvides was the Minister of Justice. Angelides was the Minister of Defence. This experience will help them understand how to make the justice system better. The President said people expect them to use their powers correctly.
A big goal is to deal with many old legal cases. Many cases are waiting to be finished. This makes people unhappy. The new leaders must find ways to make things faster. This is important for people to have fair access to justice.
The President also said the new leaders are independent. No one can tell them what to do. This is to ensure they make fair decisions. These appointments show Cyprus wants to improve its legal services. Savvides and Angelides will help protect people and fight against unfairness.
