A new Communist Party, with marxist-leninist ideological characteristics, is due to be launched in Cyprus. According to Christos Kourtellaris, Executive Secretary of the Communist Initiative of Cyprus (CIC), the new party with the honored hammer and sickle as its emblem aims to participate in the 2026 parliamentary elections.
In an interview to "Kathimerini" (4 August 2024), Kourtellaris stressed that we are fighting for the goal of a society of socialism-communism in which the working class will have the power.
