Annita Demetriou addresses concerns regarding British bases in Akrotiri

On April 5, 2026, President of the House of Representatives and DISY leader Annita Demetriou visited the Akrotiri Sovereign Base Area. The visit followed a recent attack on the base and prompted a broad discussion regarding security and local concerns. A primary issue addressed was the British authorities' plan to install 32 additional antennas in the area. Participants at the meeting discussed the potential consequences of these installations on the local community and environment. Ms. Demetriou announced that she would send an official letter the following day to initiate further actions. These steps aim to block the installation of the antennas through both local and European-level diplomatic efforts. The initiative also seeks to address ongoing grievances related to the base and ensure the protection of regional interests. Authorities emphasized the need for a coordinated approach to strengthen public safety and address the residents' concerns responsibly.
