Categories: Western Europe, Greece, Ethnicity & Race, Politics, Protest

The Golden Dawn party has become notorious for its blatant anti-Semitic and xenophobic rhetoric and has been responsible for perpetrating attacks against Jews and foreigners.”

The European Union of Jewish Students have created a petition [1] urging the Council of Europe Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination of the Parliamentary Assembly to remove Golden Dawn MP Eleni Zaroulia [2] from its ranks. Zaroulia recently referred to immigrants as “sub-human” [3] [el] while addressing the Greek Parliament. The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece also addressed a letter [4] asking for Zaroulia to be removed.
