Golden Dawn Party, Greek Parliamentary Slapping Incident
Elias Kasidaris, a Member of Parliament for the Golden Dawn party, made international headlines after slapping two socialist MPs during a live television debate. While mainstream media portrays the party as neo-Nazis, some Greek citizens view the act as a literal fulfillment of the party's promise to "hit the kleptocrats." The incident occurred ahead of the critical June 17th Greek elections.
