This text presents the presentation delivered by Mr. Joseph Frangos at the Institute's Esperida, held on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, on the topic "Excessive Powers and Institutional Counterweights in the Republic of Cyprus: The Challenge of Reform", and which was organized in collaboration with UCLan Cyprus and with the support of the Larnaca and Famagusta Bar Associations. Mr. Joseph Frangos examines and analyzes the proposed separation of powers of the Attorney General, assessing whether the reform actually serves the public interest and raises key questions. The author presents the arguments in favor of change, the recommendations of European institutions and the institutional weaknesses of the current framework, but at the same time expresses serious reservations regarding its constitutionality. It also emphasizes that it may cause serious institutional risks if it is later deemed unconstitutional. Finally, it calls for careful, documented and not hasty institutional action.
