The National People's Front (Greek: Εθνικό Λαϊκό Μέτωπο (ΕΛΑΜ), Ethniko Laiko Metopo (ELAM)) is a far-right[9][10] and ultranationalist political party in Cyprus that was founded in 2008. It has been described as fascist, although this is denied by the party.[11] It describes its ideology as "popular and social nationalism". As of May 2011, it has been approved as a legal political party.[12][13]
