Greek anti-immigrant party gives out free food for Greeks only Aug 2nd 2012, 08:40 What do you think of this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19084584 Quote: Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party has handed out free food to hundreds of struggling people in central Athens - but only to Greek nationals. The ultra-nationalists won 18 parliamentary seats in Greece's June election, with a campaign openly hostile to illegal immigrants. People lining up for food had to show identity papers to get the free packages from party volunteers... ...One of the party's MPs, Ilias Kasidiaris, told Reuters TV that they had bought the food "exclusively from Greek producers to give to Greek people". A fellow MP at the event, Christos Pappas, said "we are in Greece, so Greeks have priority". "The illegal immigrants that have come here, who enjoy, if you will, all the rights and privileges that come from Greek taxpayers are illegal, invaders. They are a threat to Greece," he said.
