Aradippou municipal council opposes unaccompanied minor facility plan

On Monday, the Aradippou Municipal Council held an emergency session to unanimously express its opposition to a proposed residential facility for unaccompanied migrant minors. The facility is planned for a residence located within the core of the municipality. The local government highlighted that the site is in immediate proximity to a primary school and both public and private kindergartens. Council members stated that their objection is not directed at the minors themselves but at the procedural handling of the project. Specifically, the municipality reported a total lack of institutional consultation or cooperation from state authorities prior to the decision. Additionally, the Council pointed out that no public consultation with affected local residents has taken place. The municipal announcement also noted that no formal study has been presented to document the suitability of the chosen location. The council continues to seek clarification on several outstanding issues regarding the planning of this facility.
