"Mr President, in the Greece of this crisis, the extreme right is taking on an increasingly nightmarish aspect. The Golden Dawn party is operating as a paramilitary body with assault battalions that attack citizens, and with members of parliament who threaten their colleagues and use vulgarity in parliament. I am afraid that, at that level, Greece will be just the beginning. The responsibilities of the political system as a whole are great, because it treated a neo-fascist party, where the party’s leader greets people with a Nazi salute, as if it were any other party. It is the government, however, that bears fundamental responsibility. When the Minister for Public Order does not punish police officers who allow a parliamentarian from the Golden Dawn party to release detainees at intervals, when the Minister for Home Affairs answers a parliamentary question from that party concerning the number of foreign children in crèches, while it is clear that nationality is not a criterion for registration there, then democracy is in danger. The Greek Government ought to show that there is a coordinated state and that Greek society is not unprotected; that what is at stake here is just as important as economic recovery. The European Union ought to do everything it can to combat the advance of fascism in Europe."@en1
