Greek top court bars far-right Spartiates party from EU election race
Greece’s Supreme Court banned on Wednesday the far-right Spartiates (Spartans) party from running in this year’s elections for the European Parliament, the Athens News Agency reported.
A legal source confirmed the report to Reuters. Court decisions in Greece are not immediately announced.
The court ruled that the party did not fulfil the set requirements to contest the vote.
This month the Supreme Court prosecutor ordered that charges be brought against 11 lawmakers originally elected on the Spartiates ticket on suspicion of deceiving voters in a June 2023 national election by taking guidance from a jailed politician.
