Pandemic politics in Cyprus have not had a decisive impact on party competition, at least yet. When the elections took place in May 2021 harsh restrictions (lockdowns) were lifted and the public opinion viewed rather favourably the measures adopted by the government. No party expressed principled opposition to these measures; criticism targeted mostly some inconsistencies in their application. Unlike other far-right parties in Europe, the Greek Cypriot far-right party, the National Popular Front (ELAM), avoided stating a clear position whether they do accept the scientific consensus or side with conspiracy theories. Instead, ELAM focused on criticizing the policies of the government and emphasized individual liberties/rights arguing against mandatory vaccination. Their electoral share in the elections increased, compared to the previous elections, but this was rather related to their overall populist and anti-systemic appeal than pandemic politics alone.
