Ilias Kasidiaris is running in the May 21 elections, according to his lawyer’s statements.

As his lawyer, Vaso Pantazi, announced, speaking to OPEN, Ilias Kasidiaris officially announced “his real intention to participate in the upcoming elections of May 21”.

The imprisoned and former leading member of the Golden Dawn terrorist organization will be a candidate in the 1st electoral district of Athens with the Hellenes party, which he founded.

His lawyer also stated that Kasidiaris’ decision to contest the elections “was after mature consideration”.

Ilias Kasidiaris also issued a press release, with which he announced today (26.04.2023) that he will be a candidate in the 2023 elections, in Athens A, with the “Greek National Party”, chaired by the Professor of the Evelpidon Military School, Brigadier General Dimitrios Hatziliadis .

In detail, the press release states:

“In the elections of May 21, I will be a candidate in Athens A with the “Hellenic National Party” chaired by the Professor of the Evelpidon Military School, Brigadier General Dimitrios Hatziliadis. More than half a million Greeks currently support our party. We have an obligation towards them to fight the great political and legal battle until the end.

Any sworn Government or Judicial agent who attempts to illegally deprive half a million Greeks of their political rights and abolish free elections will commit the Crime of High Treason punishable by life imprisonment.

On the 2nd of May in the Areio Pagos, the Right will be confronted with the Unjust, the Law with the Illegal, the Democracy (represented by the Greek National Party) with the tyranny of the political system. I have already lost 3.5 years of my life in regime prisons, because I never stopped fighting for Faith and Country. Whatever the outcome of the coming Judicial battle, be sure of one thing: that the unyielding fight for Justice, Truth and Greece will continue and be victorious.

Sincerely,

Ilias Kasidiaris »
