Officials from the Greek neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, whose leaders have been jailed pending trial on charges of running a criminal gang have snapped back at the scandal-ridden government of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, the New Democracy Conservative leader and his party, the PASOK Socialists.
Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris, one of six of the party’s 18 Members of Parliament who were arrested, said the political group is being politically persecuted while “terrorists and crooked politicians,” are getting away scot-free, referring to the escape of two convicted terrorists who walked away from furloughs and a growing scandal in the defense ministry and the Hellenic Postbank.
Supporters of Greece’s far right Golden Dawn party made their voices heard as three party members appealed against accusations of belonging to a criminal group.
“The terrorists are walking free, the scamming politicians of PASOK (Panhellenic Socialist Movement) and New Democracy are walking free. Not a single lawmaker or minister has been called to be questioned for the scandals, the pay offs and the corruption. The only ones that are dragged illegally to jails and questioned are the lawmakers of Golden Dawn. We hope that Greek justice will prevail despite the illegal political pressures it is under,” he said, according to Euronews.
Lawyer Christos Gramatidis for human rights group Greek Helsinki Monitor, accused Golden Dawn of hypocrisy: “Golden Dawn is party that systematically slanders … it is ironic that these people are now invoking the protection of the European Courts, but this is the majesty of democracy. “
