[01] Chryssi Avgi should be treated as criminal organization, Venizelos saysANA-MPA -- The first step is to apply the existing legislation for the acts committed, government Vice-President and PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos on Wednesday said, referring to extreme-right Chryssi Avgi party.Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, Venizelos said that the existing legislation is very strict and that certain additions will be made. He noted that "they have crossed the line" and added that the law will have to be applied, underlining that Chryssi Avgi should be treated like a criminal organization. He said that "there are many who cultivate tension, invest in a strategy of violence and have violence as a priority," noting that those who foster the strategy of tension should be seen separately from those who commit crimes. Venizelos underlined that those who foster the strategy of tension and expect to capitalize on it should understand that they are being led to the absolute dead end, adding that those who commit violent acts should be faced with the justice system. Venizelos responded positively when he was asked if he means SYRIZA when he talks about those who foster the strategy of tension.
