Golden Dawn Party Spokesman Blames Victims of Televised Scuffle

The spokesman for the Greek neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party, who struck and threw a glass of water on female Members of Parliament during a brawl on live television, has threatened to sue his victims, claiming they provoked his attack.

Ilias Kasidiaris has been in hiding since Thursday, when producers of the morning show reportedly locked him in a room at the studio, until police were scheduled to arrive to investigate the incident. Prior to their arrival, however, Kasidiaris broke down the door and escaped, resulting in a warrant for his arrest.

In a statement posted on Facebook on Saturday, he said he regretted his involvement in an incident that could damage the party's image ahead of the June 17 elections, but blamed the victims for his outburst.

"The events that took place on Thursday morning on Antenna TV'were staged with the sole aim of provoking an extreme reaction on my part," he wrote.

"I am sorry that without intending to, I got mixed up in a case that has confused public opinion and was aimed at hitting Golden Dawn,” he continued. “I will go the prosecutor in person to sue those behind the illegal actions that have taken place in the last two days."

Their flag is certainly modeled after the Swastika. But it looks like they just might be nuts. Here's what wikipedia has to say: Golden Dawn (Greek: Χρυσή Αυγή, Chrysi Avgi, Greek pronunciation: [xriˈsi avˈʝi]) is a right-wing extremist[7][8] political organization in Greece. It is led by Nikolaos Michaloliakos and has grown from a small, fringe group to a widely reported Greek political party with nationwide support. The party has expressed sympathy with the authoritarian regime of Ioannis Metaxas.[6] Some commentators and media have described it as neo-Nazi[9][10] and fascist[11] although the group rejects these labels.[12] Golden Dawn describes itself as a "People's Nationalist Movement" and "uncompromising Nationalists".[13] Concerning national identity, it has been reported that they partly support Hellenism.[14] Michaloliakos described Golden Dawn as opposing the Industrial Revolution.[13][5] The party's charter puts the leader in total control of the party, and formalizes the use of the Roman salute for party members.[5] Michaloliakos began the foundations of what would become Golden Dawn in 1980. It first received widespread attention in 1991, and in 1993 was registered as a political party. It temporarily ceased political operations in 2005, and was absorbed by the Patriotic Alliance. The Alliance in turn ceased operations after Michaloliakos withdrew support. In March 2007, Golden Dawn held its sixth congress, where Party officials announced the resumption of their political activism. At local elections on November 7, 2010 Golden Dawn got 5.3 percent of the vote in the municipality of Athens, winning a seat at the City Council. In some neighbourhoods with big immigrant communities it even reached 20 percent.[15] The party ran a campaign during the Greek national elections of 2012 based on concerns for unemployment, austerity and the economy,[16] which gained a large increase in support from the general public. The party ran on a virulent anti-immigation campaign, though political science lecturer Stella Ladi believes some Golden Dawn voters did not realize how right-wing the party was.[17] It achieved seven percent of the popular vote, enough to enter the Hellenic Parliament for the first time. The seven percent of the vote that Golden Dawn won on the national elections of 6 May 2012 gave the party 21 seats in the Greek Parliament.[18]

Two sides of the same evil coin.

"Their flag is certainly modeled after the Swastika."

The meander motif took its name from the river Meander, a river with many twists, mentioned by Homer in Iliad. The motif is also known as Greek key or Greek fret.

Meander was the most important symbol in Ancient Greece, symbolizing infinity or the eternal flow of things.

there are many variations on the symbol one looks very much like a swastika

[Eleutheria5]

The Swastika itself is an ancient mystic symbol. It later got coopted by you know who.

[Steve Van Doorn]

The Meander is what the Greek party is using not the swastika

[Eleutheria5]

I know. But like the Meander sign, the Swastika was also an ancient mystical symbol. They are both ancient symbols. No bigee.

This fascist movement honors “the Virgin Mary?”

“As Greek society continues to unravel, Golden Dawn is rising up. Greece faces of an acute shortage of jobs, food, medicine and leadership. And Greeks are looking for a savior.”
