In 2020, Greece banned an entire political party and jailed all its leaders to defend democracy
Everyone wants to live in a democracy, because it is the best. Among other things, it has the most sexual options for children, including being gay or a tranny.
But democracy is not free.
It comes at an extreme cost.
It may cost you everything.
The Greek parliament paved the way for banning political parties whose leaders have been convicted of crimes from running in elections, ahead of national polls in spring.
Lawmakers in Athens voted late Wednesday in favour of an amendment aimed at preventing political parties such as the extreme-right Golden Dawn — once Greece’s third-biggest political force — from standing candidates in the election, after it was declared a criminal gang linked to hate crimes in a 2020 court ruling.
The new legislation will also impact the small, far-right party Hellenes party — which means “Greeks” — which was co-founded by former Golden Dawn lawmaker and spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris.
Kasidiaris was sentenced to 13 years in jail in 2020, but this new amendment will prevent him from placing “a straw man at the head of his party while continuing to lead the party de facto”, said constitutional law expert Nikos Alivizatos.
Despite being in prison, Kassidiaris has continued his political activities. He regularly addresses his supporters from his cell through voice messages broadcast on his YouTube channel, which has more than 120,000 subscribers.
According to a recent poll, the “Hellenes” party would obtain 3.4% of the vote in the next elections, above the 3% threshold for getting MPs into parliament.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis insisted it was “the moral obligation of democracy to guard against its enemies”.
That’s the true fact: in the morality of democracy, it cannot tolerate voting.
There is no room for input from the public on the machine that is democracy.
The people must stand back and stand by, staring in awe at the might of democracy.
