ATHENS: Greece's Supreme Court on Tuesday banned a party founded by a jailed member of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn group from contesting the May 21 general election.
He was among several top Golden Dawn members handed heavy prison sentences in October 2020 by a court that labelled the neo-Nazi party a criminal organisation.Greek government spokesman Akis Skertsos welcomed what he called a"historic decision" that would prevent"the enemies of democracy" from sitting in parliament.
The hot-tempered former food scientist - who was a lawmaker from 2012 to 2019 - was sentenced to 13.5 years behind bars. The 42-year-old had recently stated his ambition to run for a constituency in central Athens in this month's election.
