Odysseas Michaelides outlines the political platform of the Alma movement

Odysseas Michaelides, leader of the Alma movement, declared that the party aims to become a decisive regulatory force in the Cypriot Parliament following the May 2026 elections. The movement, founded in May 2025, advocates for an institutional overhaul, focusing on the modernization of public service and the limitation of executive powers held by the President and the Attorney General. Michaelides criticized the current administration under President Christodoulides for failing to challenge established political interests. Alma supports a federal solution to the Cyprus problem in line with UN resolutions. The movement also proposes implementing strict accountability frameworks for government ministers and officials. Michaelides emphasizes the need for structural reforms rather than the destruction of the existing system. The party intends to shift from political frustration to constructive institutional changes. Despite facing internal and external pressures, the leadership remains committed to securing a double-digit electoral result.
