View source for National Party - Hellenes

'''National Party - Hellenes''' is a Greek political party founded on [[June 4]], [[2020]], by [[Elias Kasidiaris]], a former MP and spokesman of the far-right [[Golden Dawn]].

The party was founded originally as "Hellenes for the Fatherland" after [[Golden Dawn]]'s failure to elect MPs in the [[2019]] national elections. Its platform is similar to that of [[Golden Dawn]] though [[Elias Kasidiaris|Kasidiaris]] has attempted to portray it as a nationalist, conservative party along the lines of Italy's Liga Nord and France's Rassemblement national.

On [[February 8]], [[2023]], the [[Hellenic Parliament]] passed a law banning parties from the legislature whose leaders have been convicted of serious crimes and are deemed a potential threat to democracy, in effect banning National Party - Hellenes from contesting the upcoming national election.
