ATHENS — The spokesman for Greece’s far-right party Golden Dawn threw a glass of water at a female leftist politician and slapped another one in the face on live television on Thursday, causing a political uproar and leading a prosecutor to seek his arrest.
The morning talk show on private television station Antenna was interrupted by the incident and Ilias Kasidiaris was locked in a room at the TV studio but he broke down a door and escaped, the TV host said.
Police have been told to track Kasidiaris down and arrest him, a court official said.
What was a heated debate over the June 17 elections descended into chaos when Kasidiaris threw a glass of water at the female leftist party member, Rena Dourou, calling her a “joke.”
As other participants watched in stunned silence, Communist party deputy Liana Kanelli intervened on her behalf, throwing a newspaper at Kasidiaris, who called her a “commie,” stood up, pushed her and hit her hard in the face.
Golden Dawn won parliamentary seats in May 6 elections, riding a wave of discontent against illegal immigrants in austerity-ridden Greece. The party denies it is neo-Nazi, though its chief Nikos Mihaloliakos delivers Nazi salutes and has denied the Holocaust.
Political rivals were quick to condemn the assault, and some urged Golden Dawn supporters to change their minds before the June 17 vote, which was called as no working majority emerged from the election last month.
“We are urging citizens who voted for Golden Dawn to reconsider,” said Fofi Gennimata, a spokeswoman for the Socialist PASOK party. She added no PASOK representatives would take party in television debates with Golden Dawn members.
Golden Dawn said in a statement on its website that Kasidiaris had been provoked.
“If anybody wants us to condemn our party fellow over this, indeed unfortunate moment, they should first condemn Kanelli’s attack and slandering.”
Kasidiaris, who is a member of parliament, is sought for attempting to inflict dangerous bodily harm, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in jail. The sentence, however, can be turned into a fine.

Don't really know about these parties at all but Jon Stewart did a bit where he explained they aren't Nazis and he was making some digs at western media for painting them as such

Yeah man, they totally didn't have corrupt politicians, a corrupt system that favors having weaker countries in the EU, then defaulting on government buildings to the banks and then having to lease them from the investment banks that repossessed them, and then having the investment banks fuck them over even more.
The germans need the greeks more than they need them.
Ever wonder how Germany's economy is so strong while the poorer eurozone countries suffer?
The country was sold long time ago. It's youth are leaving the country. I Wouldn't be surprised if you see a large diaspora respreading across the globe.

oh I'm definitely the wrong guy for you to school on Europe, I'm from there, and I AM there almost every summer.
I was just in Germany and Greece the other summer actually, and offcourse there is corrupt politicians in Greece but the main reason they're in the shit is their general population's aversion to paying taxes. How do you run a country where a large majority of the people consider paying their taxes optional, and on top of that you got crooked politicians like you mentioned that's pretty fckin obvious, which country doesnt.
As far as Germany, trust me dude their youth is not tryin to leave their country, I have family there and like I said visit every other year, it's status in not just Europe but the World is legit, it's the most efficient run Western country in the world, if not IN the world, and Germans know efficiency.
The biggest problem they have is the massive influx of immigrants swarming to Europe. So according to you German youth are leaving only to see these immigrants take over their country, lol, that's exactly what almost every country in western Europe is battling right now.
"Cool" links you posted, but holla when you got some hard facts from the ground from first hand knowledge
