Title: Greek MP Slaps Woman On TV
Post by falah on Jun 8th, 2012 at 7:37am
Greek MP slaps woman on live TV



A spokesman for Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party repeatedly slapped a female left-wing politician, and threw a glass of water at another, on live television.

Ilias Kasidiaris, who was elected to Greece's parliament in last month's elections, was debating with the pair on a chat show.

Video footage shows him throwing a glass of water at one of the women and calling her a "tart".

When the other intervenes, he slaps her in the face three times.

He appears to have been provoked when one of the women mentioned his alleged involvement in an armed robbery in 2007.

Mr Kasidiaris was locked in a room at the TV studio but broke free.

Greek prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant, and police are currently searching for Kasidiaris.

The incident came just one week before Greece is due to go to the polls again in an attempt to break the political deadlock in the country.

Greek political smackdown on live TV as extreme right figure punches female rival

A Greek politician is being hunted by police after the country's election campaign turned into an ugly brawl on live TV.

The spokesman of the extreme-right Golden Dawn party, after trading insults of "commie" and "fascist" with two left-wing politicians, lunged at the women, smacking one three times across the face and throwing a glass of water at another...

...A prosecutor issued an arrest warrant for Ilias Kasidiaris, whose party alarmed Europe by gaining 21 of parliament's 300 seats in Greece's inconclusive May 6 elections.

Golden Dawn, which vehemently denies the neo-Nazi label, has been accused of violent attacks against immigrants in Athens.

The party denies involvement in the attacks, insisting it is a nationalist patriotic group...

...It campaigned on a platform of ridding the country of illegal immigrants and cleaning up crime-ridden neighbourhoods, and advocates planting anti-personnel mines along Greece's borders to stop migrants from sneaking across.

The attack "put on public display what was widely known", said the radical left-wing Syriza party, whose member Rena Dourou was splashed with water on the show. "The true face of this criminal organisation."



Discussion went off on a tangent about political history in Greece, which suffered a vicious civil war between Communists and the right-wing after World War II, and a seven-year military dictatorship that ended in 1974.

Kasidiaris shot an insult of "you old Commie" at 58-year-old prominent Communist Party member Liana Kanelli, after she called him a "fascist".

Kasidiaris, 31, also took offence at a reference by Dourou to a court case pending against him.

It all careened into violence when Dourou said there was a "crisis of democracy when people who will take the country back 500 years have got into the Greek parliament".

Kasidiaris bounded out of his seat and hurled a glass of water at her, shouting an insult: "You circus act."

Talk show host Giorgos Papadakis ran over to Kasidiaris, attempting to calm him down. But he turned on Kanelli, who appeared to throw a newspaper at him.

Kasidiaris hit Kanelli three times - with hard right-left-right slaps to the sides of her head.

Papadakis tried and failed to restrain him.

The channel cut to a commercial break, and returned five minutes later without Kasidiaris.

Papadakis and Kanelli later said attempts had been made to restrain Kasidiaris after the scuffle by shutting him in a room in the TV channel's building, but he broke through the door and left...

So Grandmaster is Wesley. Why do you change your ID so much? Are you on witness protection or something?

That's right! grab them by the hair, drag them into your cave and give them a good beating. That's the way of the alpha male of the 21st century.

The man obviously has self esteem issues. He needs treatment and to come face to face with a real man for some personal training.

Quote:
Greek neo-Nazi MP shows no remorse after TV attack

(AFP) – 6 hours ago

ATHENS — A Greek neo-Nazi MP whose arrest is pending following his assault this week on two female leftist deputies on live TV showed no remorse in a statement on Saturday.

The events "were staged, aimed solely at provoking an extreme reaction by me," Ilias Kasidiaris, who is also the press spokesman for Chryssi Avgi (Golden Dawn), declared on the party's website.

Kasidiaris shocked the country by throwing a glass of water on leftist Syriza party deputy Rena Dourou and then striking Liana Kanelli from the communist KKE party three times live on television on Thursday morning.

Following the incident Athens prosecutors ordered Kasidiaris's arrest on the grounds of attempted grievous bodily harm, but he remains at large.

The assault has been widely condemned by politicians and the press and on Friday some 2,000 demonstrators marched through the centre of Athens shouting "neo-Nazis out."

In his statement, the MP announced his intention of going to the prosecutor's office himself in order to sue those responsible for the "illegal actions" undertaken against him over the past two days.

Kasidiaris is also allegedly involved in a 2007 mugging case, with a hearing scheduled to take place on Monday following a postponement last week. It was a question about the case that sparked Thursday's assault.

Golden Dawn won 6.9 percent of the vote and 21 seats in parliament at the May 6 elections whose inconclusive result meant that Greeks will go back to the polls on June 17.
