Melanie Steliou (Greek Μέλανη Στέλιου; Turkish Melani Stelyu; born April 20th 1976) is an actress, television presenter and activist known for her diverse work in theatre, television and chairing conferences. She is also known for her activism and her outspoken views on political and social issues..[1][2]
She worked for various television stations in Cyprus and most of the theatrical organizations on the island.
In 2021 she entered politics and accepted an offer to run for Member of Parliament in Cyprus with the Green Party.[3] It did not end well as she pulled out of the campaign within weeks due to serious disagreements on vital issues.[4]
In 2024 she was a candidate for the European Parliament Elections as part of the Social Alliance Movement (Κοινωνική Συμμαχία[5]) in collaboration with AKEL - The Left. She secured 10.177 votes[6] but did not make it into the EU Parliament.
Her father who passed away in 2019[7] was Cypriot, and her mother is British. She has lived in the UK, Greece and Cyprus. She is very proud of her multicultural roots and this, she says, is what makes her feel more of a citizen of the world, and able to identify with different cultures.
