A Rai poll for Alpha News reveals a rise in support for the ELAM party in Cyprus, reaching 10.13% and closing the gap with the traditional leading parties, DISY (14.3%) and AKEL (13.6%). The newly formed ALMA and Immediate Democracy parties follow in 4th and 5th place respectively. Surprisingly, DIKO, traditionally among the top three, falls to 6th place with 4.9%. Volt occupies the 7th position with 2.5%, while DIPA and EDEK receive just over 1%. The article also highlights Trump's continued interest in purchasing Greenland, with a poll indicating that only 9% of Americans support the use of military force for this purpose. However, potential negotiations with Europe for the granting of military bases to the US in Greenland are being discussed. In Iran, protests against the theocratic regime continue, with the death toll reaching 5,002 according to HRANA. The number of deaths under investigation has increased to 9,787, while authorities continue to block the internet for a third week.
