Greek Government Condemns Golden Dawn Assault on Politicians

Greek government spokesman Dimitris Tsiodras condemned an assault by a member of the anti-immigrant Golden Dawn party on two members of rival parties during a television show.

“The government condemns in the most categorical manner the attack by the spokesman of the Golden Dawn party Elias Kasidiaris on Liana Kanelli and Rena Dourou,” Tsiodras said in an e-mailed statement in Athens today. “Political differences can’t be resolved with violence.”
