Jew-hatred inside the European Parliament

XYZ Contagion, a Greek investigating journalism blog, reported that earlier this month three Golden Dawn MEPs produced a video with antisemitic and anti-immigrant remarks and then published it on YouTube. The video was allegedly shot in a studio of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The three Golden Dawn MEPs are: Lampros Fountoulis, Eleftherios Synadinos and Georgios Epitideios.

Especially E. Synadinos suggested that Angela Merkel and other European “powerful leaders” obey to a plan for “global domination and uniformisation” and referred to the antisemitic forgery “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”. He then accused these leaders of doing nothing to stop “the Americans” and “the Zionists” from executing their “plans” against the European nations. L. Fountoulis agreed with E. Synadinos and defended the necessity of Greece’s cultural integrity. He also suggested that all decisions made by the European foreign ministers are not really democratic but they are “imposed” by “the most powerful”. Finally, G. Epitideios endorsed the conspiracy theories of his colleagues.

Back in 2012, Golden Dawn MP Ilias Kasidiaris read out in Greek parliament a passage from “The Protocols”. There was absolutely no reaction to this among the members of parliament.
