Greece Expels Far-Right Lawmakers Over Extremism

Three lawmakers lost their seats in Greece. They were from a far-right political group. This happened because they were linked to a jailed politician.

The court said they tricked voters last year. This was during the 2023 election. Many are worried about far-right groups in Europe now.

The court found they helped a former Golden Dawn member. This person is in jail for violent acts. He attacked migrants and people who disagreed with him.

The government is happy with the court's decision. The number of seats in parliament will change. Now, fewer votes are needed to pass new laws.

The Spartans party says they are not linked to Golden Dawn. They got almost five percent of the votes last year. Two other Spartans lawmakers will stay in parliament as independents.
