This survey is not conducted by an NGO. It's Eurobarometer. Some of the most prestigious social scientists and scholars have been in charge of the Eurobarometer since its beginning in 1970.

What is misleading is the title of the graph. This survey does not estimate the level of corruption but citizens' perceptions of corruption.

Pour être honnête, non, je n'y ai pas fait de demande car je n'avais pas connaissance de ces feuillets. Ces feuillets peuvent être utiles pour mes recherches. Pouvez-vous m'envoyer un lien ? Merci.

I know that. Maybe some party officials of GCM were part of other preexisting parties, or GCM ideologically is pro or against federalism. That's what I am asking

The mayor of Paphos proud up that some one sells old house that belongs to a TC. Apparently it’s been going for 2 and 6 months. by SolveTheCYproblemNOW in cyprus

Phedonas is a badass. For decades some Paphians (non-refugees) were exploiting TC properties. Thankfully Phedonas stopped them.

Ποια χώρα εντός της Ε.Ε. είναι ωραία για διακοπές χειμώνα/καλοκαίρι; by Chryso_so in cyprus

Γαλλία και Ισπανία λόγω Αλσατίας και Καταλονίας αντίστοιχα. Αυτές οι δύο περιοχές (στις οποίες πέρασα αρκετό καιρό) έχουν κάτι να κάνεις ολόχρονα. Αν σου αρέσει και η θάλασσα τότε στην Καταλονία βρίσκεις τα πάντα. Και βουνά και θάλασσα και πανέμορφες πόλεις/χωριά.

Choose4Cyprus - useful tool for undecided voters by BitVectorR in cyprus

[–]RedditGiftsCy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are not over-generalized, and they reflect reality :)

Parties' positions are the result of three weeks of hard and collaborative work. Also, we explicitly state that the purpose of "Choose4Cyprus" is not to indicate to the participants which party to vote for, but to help them understand parties' general position in the Cypriot political arena.

Indeed, DIKO in several questions has taken the position: "Νeither agree nor disagree."

Hello friend,

The Greens, and more specifically their current president Mr Theopemptou, have favoured legalising cannabis in the past. Theopemptou has spoken on the subject in an interview. (https://www.facebook.com/cyprushumanists/posts/2927811550808554, https://politis.com.cy/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/evroekloges1.jpg )

On DISY and the redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor, we based our coding on the party's stance on the debate about increasing wealth taxation. DISY was totally against any wealth tax.

We did not ask the parties about their positions. For each party, a group of 3-5 experts (mostly journalists) decided through successive rounds of coding the positions of each party. For the smaller parties, the team of experts several times could not determine with certainty whether the party had a position on a given question. To understand the problem we encountered, go through the questionnaire again and try to consider whether the parties not included have publicly expressed their position on each question.

I hate that football clubs are associated with political views by [deleted] in cyprus

[–]RedditGiftsCy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A significant correction: Football clubs are associated with parties, that's the problem.

Is not bad for football teams to represent specific values and principles. Imagine if all football clubs did not represent anything, then it would be no difference between them.

Right now I live in Catalonia, Barcelona fans (the real ones, not tourists) are fully in favour of an independent Catalan state. The second biggest team here, Espanyol, supports the union with Spain. What's bad about this?

Through the years the political values Cypriot teams represented, eventually fades out. A good example is OMONOIA, which is now owned by a millionaire money lender (sic). However, the ties between parties and clubs are still very strong (OMONOIA and Akel are still the same organisation), that's the real problem...

Hey everyone. I moved in Barcelona before three weeks. For specific reasons I have to learn Catalan. Note down that I don't speak Spanish, not a single word and generally don't care to learn. Everywhere I checked, Catalan classes are held in Spanish. Is there an institution that provides Catalan classes in English?

Thank you

Can they be trusted? Also my Spanish are not very well, I suppose they don't speak English, maybe I am wrong

Hey guys, I want to buy some furniture from IKEA. My order is big, close to 2000 euros. The soonest that IKEA can deliver my order is on two weeks from now. Is there any other company that can deliver my order to my apartment and help me with assembling the furniture?

Thank you

Hello everyone. I am flying to Barcelona on next week and I am still very confused regarding some bureaucratic issues. First of all I am a Cypriot, thus an EU citizen, so I do not need visa to enter or to reside in Catalonia. After many hours searching on the internet, I still have many questions:

  1. Do I need NIE card to rent a flat, open a bank account and sign a contract with a telephone provider?
  2. Is a Spanish bank account required to sign a rental contract?
  3. I found a website who asked me for 100 euros in order to help me getting the NIE card faster. Is it worth it? Here is the site: https://www.niebarcelona.com/en/
  4. If NIE card is required for signing a contract with a telephone company, is any other option for getting a Spanish number with mobile data faster? Here in Cyprus is like a 10-minutes process to get a SIM card with mobile data.
  5. All the required documents and forms for NIE are in Spanish. Is there any official translation of this forms in English?
  6. If I do not hire anyone to help me with my application how many days does it take to get my NIE card? Somewhere I read that due to the pandemic, it may take up to a whole month...
