Greece's Supreme Court has prohibited the far-right party Spartans from participating in the upcoming European Parliament elections, deeming it a front for the banned neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn. The court found Spartans to be a guise for the former spokesman of Golden Dawn, allowing him to bypass eligibility restrictions. This decision follows a prosecutor's indictment of Spartans lawmakers for electoral fraud and reflects growing concerns about the rise of far-right movements across the European Union. While mainstream parties are expected to dominate the European Parliament, there are indications of increased influence from far-right and extreme-right parties. The Supreme Court also criticized Spartans for its anti-democratic and xenophobic ideologies. The party's nominal leader, Vassilis Stingas, dismissed the decision, while the former leaders of Golden Dawn, including the ex-spokesman, have faced legal repercussions. The court's ruling has raised questions about the interpretation of the law regarding the prohibition of individuals associated with convicted leaders from participating in politics.
