Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Limassol on Friday evening, as rival demonstrations sparked fierce divisions over migration and national identity, prompting a heavy security response. The far-right party Elam organised a rally against illegal migration, while the anti-fascist movement Antifa staged a counter-protest in support of migrant rights. As both groups clashed ideologically, authorities deployed riot police, special forces, and the water cannon “Aiantas” to prevent violence.
