Greece’s High Court ruled on Wednesday that the far-right party Spartiates will be excluded from the upcoming European Parliament elections.

The High Court unveiled the final roster of parties that are set to compete on June 9 and deemed that the far-right party could not participate. The court considered the petitions by the ruling party New Democracy, and opposition parties, PASOK and New Left, that the party should be excluded over its alleged ties with Golden Dawn. The Spartans are under scrutiny due to their associations with convicted members of the now-defunct neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn, notably Ilias Kasidiaris.

In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court has confirmed that 31 out of 46 total parties will vie for voters’ support in the June 9 elections.
