Greek TV Debate Ends in Fight, Arrest Warrant for Nazi Thug
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 10:43 amI feel this warrants its own thread separate from the election thread, since this has little to do with politics.
Here's the situation (video below): the debate is between the official "spokespeople" of each of the parties in parliament (all of these are MPs as well). The woman in the white is Liana Kanelli, a prominent member of the communist party. The woman in orange is Rena Dourou of the Coalition of Radical Left. The man with the short hair is Ilias Kasidiaris of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn.
The topic of discussion was energy policy. He brought up how Greece has oil in the south of Crete that should be exploited in the way it was during the military junta 50 years ago ("with Greek laborers, where there was no unemployment or national debt"). Kanelli responds talking about the atrocities committed by the junta. Kasidiaris then accuses the Communist Party leader, Aleka Papariga, of collaborating with police. I laughed at that part.
Dourou jumped in, saying it was a "democratic crisis that people have entered parliament who would take the country 500 years." She also brought up Kasidiaris' pending trials for illegal possession of a firearm as well as aiding in the robbery of a student (he allegedly drove the getaway car) in 2007.
The rest, well you can see in this video:
