The National People's Front (Greek: Εθνικό Λαϊκό Μέτωπο (ΕΛΑΜ), Ethniko Laiko Metopo (ELAM)) is a far-right[8][9] and ultranationalist political party in Cyprus that was founded in 2008. It has been alleged to be fascist, although allegations of fascism are denied by the party.[10] It describes its ideology as "popular and social nationalism". As of May 2011, it has been approved as a legal political party.[11][12]
