All 18 MPs from Golden Dawn could face charges if parliament grants prosecutors’ wish
Ed note—now, in the interest of heading off any and all screeching and kvetching on the part of those intellectually-numb WNs who will inevitably fill the comments section of TUT with the obligatory HOW DARE YOU…GOLDEN DAWN IS NOT NEO-NAZI…WHAT KIND OF WEBSITE RELIES ON JEWISH INFORMATION IN DEFAMING A GROUP LIKE GOLDEN DAWN WITH THE ACCUSATION OF BEING NEO NAZI??!!’ we will merely quote Nikolaos Michaloliakos, the group’s leader in an article published by the Greek newspaper Iefimerida–
“We are the faithful soldiers of the National Socialist idea and 42 years later, with our thought and soul given to the last great battle, with our thought and soul given to the black and red banners, with our thought and soul given to the memory of our great Leader, we raise our right hand up, we salute the Sun and with the courage, that is compelled by our military honor and our National Socialist duty we shout full of passion, faith to the future and our visions: HEIL HITLER!”

Greek prosecutors asked parliament to remove from immunity nine additional lawmakers from the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party.
If parliament grants Thursday’s request, all 18 of the party’s lawmakers in the 300-member parliament will face charges, part of Greece’s widespread crackdown on a party that prosecutors describe as a criminal organization.
Among the nine lawmakers who already have lost immunity is party leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos, who has been jailed since October.
Prosecutors also told parliament they intended to file additional charges against the original nine, including for possession of firearms and ammunition.
The crackdown on Golden Dawn followed widespread outrage and protests in Greece in the wake of the Sept. 18 killing of anti-fascist rapper Killah P by a suspected Golden Dawn member.
The request filed by prosecutors described Golden Dawn “a vertically structured organization that operates along military lines and which is inspired by the ideals of national socialism with clear references to [Adolf] Hitler and Nazism,” according to the Kathimerini daily.
Golden Dawn has been accused of being behind dozens of attacks on immigrants in Greece.
The party is known for its Nazi swastika-like flag and Holocaust-denying leadership.
