Our View: Parties, ’ obsession with Elam has not yielded results
Elam, an extreme right nationalist party in Cyprus, has become a central focus in the election campaign for the European Parliament. Opinion polls suggest that Elam could finish third in the elections, leading other parties to turn against it due to its links with Greece’s neo-fascist Golden Dawn party. Migration has emerged as a major political issue in the campaign, with Elam being known for its xenophobic rhetoric and anti-migrant stance. Other parties, such as Diko and Edek, have directed attacks at Elam in an attempt to prevent losing votes to the far-right party. Despite efforts from various parties to discredit Elam, they have inadvertently given the party free publicity.
