...The independent MP and prominent novelist Petros Tatsopoulos, himself the focus of much of the fascists fury in parliament last week, thinks there is no other way but to ban Golden Dawn. It was a huge, historic mistake on the part of our parliament not to de-legitimise Golden Dawn, said Tatsopoulos, until recently an MP with the radical left. It should have been banned, not for its Nazi ideology but because it is a paramilitary force … who, if it could, would press ahead with a coup détat, he told the Observer. We know how these people work. The fascist poison that Greece is experiencing is not just political, it is poisoning every aspect of social life, the way people think, the way they behave. I honestly believe that the 500,000 Greeks who voted for Golden Dawn were very conscious of what they were doing. Was democracy in its own birthplace now under threat? Golden Dawn is on stand-by, he averred. I dont know how long it will take, but if this voluntary blindness continues, if the crisis goes on, it will be a real threat to democracy in the near future.
