Three MPs ask for removal of Golden Dawn deputy from Council of Europe
Three MP -- two from socialist PASOK and one from Democratic Left -- filed a petition in Parliament on Tuesday demanding steps for the removal of Eleni Zaroulia, a deputy with far-right Golden Dawn, from the Greek delegation of the Council of Europe.
In a letter addressed to Parliamentary Speaker Evangelos Meimarakis, the three MPs said that Zaroulia's participation on the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, "has generated a barrage of strong reactions from European politicians and intellectuals, as well as from human rights organizations that deem Golden Dawn an overtly racist and neo-Nazi organization."
The letter goes on to say the participation of a "political party/organization that violates with its actions and with acts of violence the rights of local and foreign residents of this country" is "contradictory and tragically ironic."
The Development Ministry announced on Friday that a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises have expressed interest in the European Union-funded program for their support.
