Tensions Flare at University of Cyprus Student Elections

Tensions erupted during the University of Cyprus student elections between the Protovoria and Progressive Movement factions. The two factions are accusing each other of violations during the voting process. Protovoria accuses Progressive of arbitrarily keeping the ballot boxes closed and engaging in bullying, while Progressive accuses Protovoria of electoral fraud and demands the cancellation of the elections. Despite some intentions to call the police, this did not happen.
