Tales from the coffeeshop: Project of ‘national importance’ has become scandal

NIK THE FIRST, the self-proclaimed, incorruptible and truthful former president of the Kyproulla republic, has been keeping an unusually low profile in the last couple of weeks during which the Vasiliko LNG terminal scandal has been dominating the news and public debate.

The scandal, which will cost us a few hundred million euros (more if we are not lucky) has his personal stamp on it, as he ordered the awarding of the project without competitive bidding to a company with zero experience in setting up LNG terminals.
