The spokesman for Greece's fascist Golden Dawn party physically assaulted two left-wing MPs on live television on Thursday morning.

A public prosecutor ordered his immediate arrest.

During a discussion of the country's politics in the run-up to repeat elections on June 17, Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris took offence at a reference by Syriza party member Rena Dorou to a court case pending against him.

Mr Kasidiaris bounded out of his seat and hurled a glass of water over Ms Dorou when she said there was a "crisis of democracy when people who will take the country back 500 years have got into the Greek parliament."

He then turned on prominent Communist Party member Liana Kanelli.

Talk-show-host Giorgos Papadakis ran over to try to stop him, shouting: "No, no, no."

But Mr Kasidiaris hit Ms Kanelli three times, with right-left-right slaps to the sides of her head.


This is the kind of putrid crap that workers in Greece are being subjected to and forced to endure. The resurgence (however slight) of these fascists must be laid at the doorstep of the EU, its "troika", et al...

Prof. Markowitz needs to look at this when he talks about "fascists". Even these "Golden Dawn" thugs pale in comparison to real, full-blown fascists. But "Golden Dawn" is way more fascistic than the Tea Party/Republicans. Real fascists would scare shit out of a tea-bagger...

It is iconic that it was a communist who stood up to the fascist.

A common strong thief as MP, irony turns itself inside out.

I think Mr. Fascist needs to be visited by a small, select committee, say, from the Greek Steel Workers' Union? Yeah, just to make sure that all the facts are straight, you know...
