Greece bans far-right party linked to neo-Nazi group from participating in general election

Greece’s Supreme Court has banned a far-right party linked to a neo-Nazi group from participating in the May general election. 

Nine out of ten Supreme Court judges backed the prohibition on the Hellenes Party, asserting that its “racist and intolerant ideas” were dangerous for democracy. 

Hellenes was formed in 2020, shortly after which its founder, Ilias Kasidiaris, was imprisoned for his senior role in Golden Dawn, a neo-Nazi group and political party that the court referred to as a criminal organisation. 

Party leader Ilias Kasidiaris, who bears a swastika tattoo and is reported to deny the Holocaust, continues to communicate to his followers from prison via social-media.
