Greek Court Strips Far-Right MPs in Landmark Ruling

Important news from Greece comes at a critical time when democracy is facing challenges across many Western countries, beginning with Donald J. Trump’s America.

A landmark court ruling has struck a significant blow to the far-right in Greece by stripping three MPs of the neo-fascist Spartans party, including their leader, of their parliamentary seats.

The specially convened electoral tribunal cited electoral fraud, marking the first time since the fall of military rule that Athens’ 300-seat parliament is functioning with just 297 members.
