Dimitris Souglis Runs with 'Immediate Democracy' Party

Journalist Dimitris Souglis has announced his candidacy with the 'Immediate Democracy' party for the 2026 parliamentary elections in the Limassol district, urging citizens to support him through the Agora application. Mr. Souglis emphasizes his commitment to a more just society, while it is recalled that he previously ran with ELAM and served as the head of the party's press office until June 2024. Mr. Souglis’s candidacy with 'Immediate Democracy' marks a new phase in his political career, after his previous involvement with the far-right ELAM formation. The announcement was made through a post on social media, where he calls for support and emphasizes the continuation of his fight for social justice. The selection process of candidates of the 'Immediate Democracy' party will determine whether Mr. Souglis will officially seek a seat in Parliament. The use of the Agora application to gather support is an innovative approach to the election campaign. Mr. Souglis's previous connection with ELAM is expected to provoke discussion and questions about his political position and its compatibility with the principles of 'Immediate Democracy'.
