Majority Of Neo-Normal Greek Cops Vote Neo-Nazi

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/15/2012 17:23 -0400

In a somewhat stunning revelation, especially after our earlier note on the Golden Dawn leader's 'position' on the issues of the day, GreekReporter notes via the news paper To Vima, that more than half of all police officers in Greece voted for pro-Nazi party Golden Dawn in the elections of May 6th. It's not really for us to judge (well maybe it is) but when some polling stations report Golden Dawn receiving 19-24% of the votes, things are going from the dismal to the horrific (and potentially chaotic) very fast.

ANSAmed: Greece: More than half police officers voted Neonazi party

Upsetting result revealed by newspaper "To Vima"

(ANSAmed) - ATHENS, MAY 11 - More than half of all police officers in Greece voted for pro-Nazi party Chrysi Avgi' (Golden Dawn) in the elections of May 6. This is the disconcerting result of an analysis carried out by the authoritative newspaper To Vima (TheTribune) in several constituencies in Athens, where 5,000 police officers in service in the Greek capital also cast their ballot.

At some polling stations Chrysi Avgi' obtained 19 to 24% of votes.

Others, like Agios Panteleimonas and Kypseli, traditional strongholds of the party, reached 15 to 18%. According to the newspaper, at the 11 polling stations (from 806 to 816) located near the police station (Ellas), Chrysi Avgi' received most votes, reaching 18.64% at station 813 and 23.67% at number 816.

Other polling stations situated at a short distance from the ones mentioned before, where police officers do not vote, recorded 12-14% of votes for the Golden Dawn party.

Moreover, the four polling stations located near the riot police station (MAT), used by the police, recorded percentages between 13 and 19 for Chrysi Avgi'.

These figures, To Vima underlines, are impressive, considering the fact that other polling stations close to the riot police station reached 7-10% of votes for the pro-Nazi party. Based on the electoral lists, 550 to 700 people have voted at each of these voting stations, of which 20 to 30% police officers. This means, the newspaper worked out, that 45 to 59% of police officers have voted for Chrysi Avgi'. (ANSAmed).

Bruce Krasting has a great article which is a counter point to this legitimate point of view. The upcoming election will tell if the last election was a protest vote... or something more ominous. This next election is the canary in the coalmine for the rest of Europe.

As Angela and Francois roil in the sultry tempest submerged in the Rhine, hither comes to thee on 'The Isles of Greece',... 'thy summer of discontent' --- let your people's misery [drachma] be a burden on those who choose unwisely to cast the out, as a nomadic mother's child born crippled - sacrificed unto the scavengers of night! Hear ye Spain - Hear ye Portugal - Hear ye Italy - Hear ye All,... for our fates are but one!

Finally, Greece is on the path to redemption. The rest of Europe is next, then America. If I were a jew/rat/traitor, I'd get moving to my beloved Israel.

Fuck off and die, Nazi filth.

actually israhole ( nice name BTW) Israel has long-term leases on air bases in Greece and is fully involved in the Greek economy and political situation, not to mention the oil and gas leases offshore. So your fantasy that Greeks are somehow rejecting Israel is so far removed from reality as to make you seem, to be kind, uninformed.

OK, so I thought NATO would "invade" for "stability." I guess I was wrong. It will be The Nation of the Red Shield. Then they will own Two countries straight out.

That's exactly what's needed - the return of fascism and a boot heel on your face, motherfucker. Here in AmeriKKKa we have two fascists running - Sieg Heil Obama and Sieg Heil Romney. Just what the white trash scum of AmeriKKKa deserve. Die you fucking worthless shits.

I'll take Golden Dawn every day and twice on Sundays.

Once upon a time (but not really so long ago), when traveling in Greece, we had no common language except German with the Greek population. They absolutely loathed speaking it because many of their family and friends had been killed by the Nazis during WWII. Hard to believe how times have changed.
