Golden Dawn leader denies gas chambers of Holocaust

Nikolaos Mihaloliakos

The leader of the neo-fascist party that won seats in the Greek parliament for the first time earlier this month has denied some of the fundamental facts of the Holocaust.

Golden Dawn, which now claims 21 parliamentarians and whose members are known for giving Nazi salutes and for their staunchly anti-immigrant stance, is led by Nikolaos Mihaloliakos. According to Reuters Mr Mihaloliakos told an interviewer on Sunday that he did not believe that six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis. He described the figure as an "exaggeration".

He said: "There were no ovens, this is a lie ... there were no gas chambers either."

Holocaust denial is not illegal in Greece, but a government spokesman said he categorically condemned Mr Mihaloliakos's remarks.

"They distort history and offend the memory of millions of Holocaust victims," said Pantelis Kapsis.

Golden Dawn's success has sent shockwaves around Greece's Jewish community, which is estimated to include several thousand people. The Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece called it a "serious blow" to Greek democracy.

Supporters of the Party were left unable to access its website on Monday, after the blog host WordPress removed the Golden Dawn page because of a "violation" of its terms of service.

They were predicted to win the lions share of the votes and come first at the next election, let us see how their vote nose dives now that their Jew hating rhetoric is aired, or are the Nazi's worshipers on here right and we will see their vote rise even further? CDome on you Nazi's nail your colours to the mast and make a prediction!

Why on earth do they do this ? .. it just relegates them to crankdom. It looks like a new election will be necessary, and I doubt they will repeat this success.

Oh it was all going so well then the Jew rhetoric had to rear it's ugly head, proof if it were needed they are too thick to see they are the masters of their own downfall, mind you they can always say it was a Jew that leaked the story, it's always the Jews fault!

The crows have eaten most of my peas and sweet corn. What the crows didnt get the slugs ate. I blame the Jews.

From your response it's as if you would've rather hoped they would hide their true colours from being exposed.

No .. that's just the way your minds works. It was a general comment .. i.e. why does anyone do that, why does any party deny the holocaust, a fact which is accepted as history recorded it by everyone except for cranks. I am aware of how neo-nazi GD is, and their votes were protest votes .. I don't think their success will be repeated if a new election is called. Right-wing parties are not all Far Right .. but in this case they are.

It would be a good idea for these parties not to talk about history.

It's not only a problem of Nationalist parties, how many parties within a party does Labour have? Communist’s waiting to seize the reins of power from a successful labour party. People who know their ideology would never appeal to the voting public so slink in the background like the snakes they are. I know they are there like the embarrassing uncle in the asylum that none of the relatives talk about, You try to ignore them but now and again someone hears their ranting and we all get the flush of embarrassment, the left and the right.

Gosh really? who have thought it, well I never, heavens to Betsy, knock me down with a feather.... etc etc

Another revelation..... Magwash actually responds (as opposed to cut, paste and run). that's two in one thread. I may have to retire and have a lie down.

On form though; the dumb lefty reaction being similar to their opposite numbers, ie to make an assumption out of thin air rather than explore attitudes from the ground up
