The Democratic National Movement (Greek: Δημοκρατικό Εθνικό Κίνημα, romanized: Dimokratiko Ethniko Kinima) is a far-right Cypriot political party, led by the independent MP of Limassol constituency, Andreas Themistokleous.
The party was founded in January 2025 by Themistokleous following his expulsion from the far-right National Popular Front (ELAM) and ideological disagreements during his earlier involvement with the centre-right Democratic Rally (DISY). It was formed in response to internal conflicts and disputes over political direction in both parties.
The Democratic National Movement focuses on the preservation of Greek national identity in Cyprus, strong opposition to progressive social reforms and "Woke culture", and the revitalization of rural and economically disadvantaged communities. It strongly opposes a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation as a solution to the Cyprus problem, viewing it as a threat to the Hellenic identity and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus.
