[quote:waterlily:MV8yMzY3MDQyXzQwNDkyMDczXzczOTJCQ0JD] [quote:Tess2012:MV8yMzY3MDQyXzQwNDg0NTYzXzc0NDkzOTdB] Just watched the news about Golden Dawn. They've got 18 elected MPs! How can they say they're just a criminal gang? You can't just dismiss a political party and their elected MPs like that. This'll surely lead to civil war in Greece. [/quote] Eighteen MPs? And they are calling them a gang and arresting members? I fear you are really right about this, especially if GD has the popular support I have heard it does. [/quote]

Greek police have arrested the leader of the far-right Golden Dawn party, Nikolaos Mihaloliakos, on charges of forming a criminal organisation.
Another Golden Dawn MP has been held and more warrants issued, police say.
The arrests and warrants come amid anger over the murder on 18 September of anti-racist musician, Pavlos Fyssas.
A man arrested for the stabbing told police he was a supporter of Golden Dawn, though the party strongly denies any link.
"The Secretary General and one lawmaker of the Golden Dawn Party were arrested a short while ago after arrest warrants were issued," Greek police said in a text message.
The other MP arrested was said to be Ilias Kasidiaris.
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens says that this is an unprecedented crackdown on a political party.
