The National People's Front (Greek: Εθνικό Λαϊκό Μέτωπο, ΕΛΑΜ, Ethniko Laiko Metopo, ELAM) is a far-right[11][12] and ultranationalist political party in Cyprus that was founded in 2008. It has been described as neo-fascist[13] or neo-nazi,[14] although these descriptions are denied by the party. It describes its ideology as "popular and social nationalism". As of May 2011, it has been approved as a legal political party.[15][16]
Ihre Einordnung als rechtsextremistisch und neofaschistisch bzw. neonazistisch ist laut dem Direktor des Prometheus Research Institute an der Universität Zypern, Yiannos Katsourides, unumstritten.
Die Elam ist die neue radikale Rechte auf der Krisen-Insel: nationalsozialistisch, rassistisch und neo-nazistisch.
Viele Zyprioten machen die neonazistische Partei Elam (Nationale Volksfront), eine Schwesterorganisation der verbotenen griechischen Partei „Goldene Morgenröte", für die Eskalation der Gewalt verantwortlich.
