For his many years of activity in the “Golden Dawn”, which belonged to its core, condemned as a criminal organization, the rationale for the decision of the Supreme Court banning the participation of the party of Ilias Kasidiaris in the elections is mentioned in detail.

Some excerpts from the decision:

Thus, in this case, it turns out that the Greek National Party, the real leader of which is Ilias Kasidiaris, nominated as a candidate for parliament, encourages the use of violence, promotes a policy that does not respect democracy and is aimed at weakening and destroying the democratic state and the institutions of the rule of law , in particular through the use of violence or incitement to violence or its justification, the propaganda of totalitarian ideologies, the dissemination of racist and intolerant ideas and xenophobia, the approval of crimes against humanity, hatred of individuals and groups, actions and statements that threaten the peaceful coexistence of social groups in the country. Therefore, the “Greek National Party” should not be declared and therefore participate in the national elections on May 20, 2023 and May 21, 2023.”

“HIS EXCELLENT ACTION”

“Ilias Casidiaris” knew and fully accepted the transformation of a political party into a criminal organization, to the will of which he subordinated his will and its generally criminal activities. He was fully aware of the characteristics of this organization as a criminal one, which he supported with all his might, fervently and in every possible way proclaimed its principles and positions, with hate speech, spreading his theories about the extermination of all groups or individuals pursued by the Golden Dawn as political or racial enemies, while additionally engaged in the training and familiarization of its members and leaders with the harsh military training and use of military weapons, as can be seen from the reviewed photographs and videos shown, where he appears either alone or with other unknown individuals to use firearms in rural areas and in unorganized target areas. He, like his other co-defendants, made public statements demonstrating the strength of the party and rewarding the extremist behavior and the criminal-hellish actions of its members, leaders and supporters, while he himself demonstrated extremely aggressive and violent behavior.

UNSUCCESSFUL DRIBLE

“Ilias Casidiaris, foreseeing the risk of not declaring the said party, which he himself founded and led alone, tried to publicize his imaginary alienation from its leadership, however solemnly confirming the opposite, that is, that he never ceased to be the only real leader, who undertakes to uphold the legitimacy of this (party). In other words, if Ilias Casidiaris had really resigned from the leadership of the party in question, and not, as he pretentiously claims, then the above extrajudicial ruling should have been signed by people who were (supposedly) in his administration, as the only one having a legitimate interest for this purpose, given that this amendment, which has been finally adopted (Article 102 of Law 5019/2023/Government Gazette A’ 27/14-2-2023), concerns the right to be elected as a candidate of a party and the condition of that party’s application. Subsequently, on 09/02/2023, Ilias Kasidiaris managed to once again oppose the aforementioned amendment via the Internet, literally stating that “I allow them to advertise me” and repeating that he was allegedly not interested in leadership positions. , and fight from any position, even from the last one. These statements by Ilias Kasidiaris clearly confirm the strategies for someone else to pose as the true leader of the party in question.”

“On 9-2-2023, that is, one day after the controversial amendment was passed in Parliament, Ilias Kasidiaris shares via the Internet (youtube) his first statement called “So I will go”. Decision number: 8 / 2-5-2023 p. 80 in the elections”, paving the way for his alleged removal from the leadership of the aforementioned party, which he founded and organized over the course of three years (the “Greek National Party”), in principle allegedly laying him on the constituent body (management committee), stating that he is not interested in managerial positions and that he can “fight” from any position, even the last one.3-4-2023 Anastasios Kanellopoulos, leader of the IF… statements, which were also broadcast on the newscast of the pan-Greek TV channel and posted on the Internet verbatim, that “I will be the head of the party of Ilias Kasidiaris in the elections, it is launched … Some procedures, constitutional procedures of this party are needed to make some amendments . And then, after I submit the statute to the competent prosecutor of the Supreme Court, then I will be, if it goes on like this, the president,” after his discussions and consultations with Ilias Kasidiaris.

04/26/2023, on the eve of the expiration of Article 37, part 1, paragraph d. 26/2012 Ilias Kasidiaris, through statements by his lawyer and in his related post on the Internet, announced that in the upcoming elections he will be a parliamentary candidate in the 1st constituency of Athens for the “Greek National Party”, now chaired by Dimitrios Hatsiliadis, Brigadier B his corresponding YouTube post mentions the following among other things: “More than half a million Greeks currently support our party. We owe it to them to fight the great political and legal battle to the end. Any sworn government or judicial agent who attempts to illegally disenfranchise half a million Greeks and abolish free elections will commit the crime of high treason, punishable by life imprisonment. On May 2nd at Areo Pagos Right and Unjust, Law and Lawlessness, Democracy, represented by the Greek National Party, will face the tyranny of the political system. I have already lost 3.5 years of my life in security prisons, because I did not stop fighting for the Faith and the Motherland. Whatever the outcome of the coming great political and judicial battle, be sure of one thing: the stubborn struggle for Justice, Truth and Greece will continue and win. Later that day, a laconic announcement was posted on the party’s website announcing the inauguration of its chairman, a retired brigadier general. dec. Hatsiliadis, without any reference to his election to this position, the body that made the decision, and other relevant elements.”

“These facts clearly demonstrate that the real leadership of the Greek National Party from the moment of its foundation to the present day has never ceased to be carried out exclusively by its founder, Ilias Kasidiaris, who decided and implemented the above methods. , appointed and dismissed at will his respective presumptive leaders, while even after appointing first Anastasios Kanellopoulos and then Dimitrios Hatsiliades as presumptive leader, he did not stop carrying out, he alone, the election campaign in favor of the said party, promoting his positions and agenda, with repeated postings on the internet despite being imprisoned as above, emphasizing in essence that the controversial electoral law amendment was an advertisement for him. On the contrary, the alleged leader of the party in question, Dimitrios Hatziliadis, did not make any statements, actions or positions to advance the positions and program of this party.”

According to the decision of the Areopagite, Ilias Casidiaris “incites the use of violence, promotes a policy that does not respect democracy and is aimed at weakening and destroying the democratic state and legal institutions.” In addition, the court’s decision states that “the real leadership of the Greek National Party, from its founding until today, has never ceased to be carried out exclusively and exclusively by its founder, Ilias Kasidiaris.”

Thus, in this case, it turns out that the Greek National Party, the real leader of which is Ilias Kasidiaris, nominated as a candidate for parliament, encourages the use of violence, promotes a policy that does not respect democracy and is aimed at weakening and destroying the democratic state and the institutions of the rule of law , in particular through the use of violence or incitement to violence or its justification, the propaganda of totalitarian ideologies, the dissemination of racist and intolerant ideas and xenophobia, the approval of crimes against humanity, hatred of individuals and groups, actions and statements that threaten the peaceful coexistence of social groups in the country.

Therefore, the “Greek National Party” should not be declared and therefore participate in the national elections on May 20, 2023 and May 21, 2023.”
