  • [01] EU chief on election of 'neo-Nazi party' to Greek parliament

    AMNA / The European Commission will be particularly "vigilant" following the election of a "neo-Nazi party" to the Greek Parliament and utilize all mechanisms available against all those who violate human rights, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said on Tuesday, according to an AFP dispatch.

    When asked about the high vote percentage gathered by Greece's extreme-rightwing party Golden Dawn / Chryssi Avgi, Barroso told journalists that "we have to define what a neo-Nazi party is" and look at national legislation on the issue.

    However, he said that as far as community law is concerned, the Commission will not hesitate to use all mechanisms available to act against those who insult community law and the fundamental human rights charter.amna
