Mr. Supreme Court for participation or non-participation in party elections National Party – Greeksfounded by a former member of the Golden Dawn who was sentenced to many years in prison for the criminal activities of the Golden Dawn, Ilias Casidiaris. Following a public statement by the Honorary Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Anastasios Kanellopoulosthat he will lead himself as president of a particular political entity, the Supreme Court is invited to apply a recent law passed by the government and decide whether the conditions for his ban from the upcoming elections are met. Parliamentary elections.

The accession of Mr. Kanellopoulos to the presidency of the Ellinix Party, if eventually realized, as he publicly stated, changes the data for the participation of the Kasidiaris party in the elections. Now convicted former A.A. he will not lead the party, but will participate in it as a candidate for deputy in the 1st constituency of Athens, as Anastasios Kanellopoulos publicly announced. If the electoral plans of the honorary deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Court are implemented – with changes, as he said on the TV channel (Open) to the party’s charter – then it will be he who will submit a legal application to the Supreme Court to participate in the elections.

What gives the law?

However, under a recent law passed by the government, which was previously deemed constitutional by the Parliament’s Science Council, candidates who have been tried even in a court of first instance for certain crimes, including against a criminal organization, are prohibited from standing for election. In fact, this ban also applies in cases where convicts do not lead party formations, but constitute their actual leadership.

And it is in this provision of the recent law that the “key” to the impending crisis of the Supreme Court lies. The Supreme Court will, in effect, be asked to decide whether the party of the Hellenes (if it happens to be under that or another name) is presided over by An.

In other words, the decision of the Supreme Court will concern the possibility that the adopted law will close the “window” through which the convicted former leader A.A. re-enter parliament. The decision of the Supreme Court is expected to be made by May 5, the deadline for a decision by the First Division of the Supreme Court for all political parties that apply to participate in the elections, with applications to be submitted – by law – before May 2. The judiciary, which will decide on the banning of the Kasidiaris party from participation in the elections, is headed by Vice-President of the Supreme Court Christos Tzanerikos, an experienced bailiff, and a total of five senior bailiffs will take part in it.

E.A.N. party

And something important. Honorary Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, An. Kanellopoulos, filed an application with the Supreme Court a few months ago and founded a party called EAN. About twenty days ago, he went to the Supreme Court and petitioned to suspend the activities of his party, and then announced his intention to lead the formation of the party of Ilias Casidiaris.

And two words about Anastasios Kanellopoulos. He has worked in the judiciary as a prosecutor for over 40 years, holding senior positions in the judiciary. He was, for example, the head of the Athenian Prosecutor’s Office, and as Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, he was responsible for sports violence. He belongs to a prominent legal family and one of his brothers, Theodoros Kanellopoulos, is currently Vice President of the Supreme Court. In fact, two years ago he was tentatively elected to the post of President of the Supreme Court when the current president, Maria Gheorghiu, was finally elected.
