As the real leader of the Spartans he names Ilias Kasidiaris the Supreme Court in its decision to “cut” the Spartans from the European elections.

In particular, according to the decision of the A1 Political Department of the Supreme Court which declared the parties and coalitions of parties, which have the legal conditions to participate in the European elections of June 9, 2024, as the main reason for the exclusion of the party of ” Spartans” was the initiation of criminal proceedings against his 11 deputies for aiding and abetting voter fraud. The criminal prosecution against the 11 members of parliament was brought by the prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Georgia Adelini.

As the Areopagite decision typically states, the real leader of the “Spartians” party is the member of “Golden Dawn” Ilias Kasidiaris and the 11 deputies of “Spartians” “actually offered their party as a cloak of a new political party to Ilias Kasidiaris, making it easier for him to bypass eligibility restrictions which are dictated by the electoral legislation”, point out, among others, the Areopagites.

In more detail, the Areopagites out of the 122 pages of their decision, 86 pages concern the reasons why the “Spartiates” party was cut, chronicling the route, action and statements of Ilias Kasidiaris for the “Golden Dawn” party, but and the later period after the founding of the “Spartans”, as well as his condemnation.

The decision of the Supreme Court, referring to the actions of Ilias Kasidiaris, points out that in all the closed meetings he organized, “a large number of prominent executives and candidate MPs of the “Golden Dawn” participatedsome of whom are even today MPs of the “Spartiates” party”.

And the judges add: “It is demonstrated that Ilias Kasidiaris, real leader of the party “Spartiates”, which replaces “Golden Dawn” never disapproved or demoralized, even in the slightestthe previous – as a leader of “Golden Dawn” – hate speech, his violent and racist action, in the context of the criminal mechanism of the aforementioned party, copying the institutional mechanisms of the Greek state, the intended policy of destroying the democratic institutions of the state of law and the disapproval of the rights and freedoms recognized by democracy”.

Furthermore, the decision of the Supreme Court states: “In this case it appears that the party “Spartiates”, whose real leader is Ilias Kasidiaris, was sentenced to a total sentence of 13 years and 6 months for the crime of joining and directing the criminal organization organization “Laikos Syndesmos – Golden Dawn” and the illegal possession of a firearm, which it carries out, promotes a policy that does not respect democracy and aims to weaken and destroy the democratic polity and the institutions of the rule of law, in particular by the use of force or incitement to violence, as well as its justification, the promotion of totalitarian ideologies, the spread of racist and intolerant ideas and xenophobia, the approval of crimes against humanity, hatred of persons and groups, actions and declarations that threaten the peaceful coexistence of social groups in country. Following the above, the “Spartians” party must not be declared and therefore not participate in the elections for the nomination of the members of the European Parliament on 9-6-2024″.
