The spokesman for Greece’s ultra-right Golden Dawn party, who went
into hiding after he threw water in the face of a deputy from the
radical leftist Syriza party during a live television debate and then
slapped a middle-aged Communist party deputy three times across the
face, has now threatened to sue his victims for provoking the attack.
Ilias Kasidiaris, who stormed off the set after attacking the two
women, posted a statement on Facebook on Saturday in which he said he
regretted getting involved in a situation that may have damaged his
party’s image before the June 17 elections but insisted that events had
been deliberately staged to provoke the attack.
“The events that took place the morning of last Thursday on ANT1 were
directed with the sole purpose of challenging an extreme reaction on my
part,” Kasidiaris wrote.
“I personally regret that without my will I was involved in the case
of disorientation of public opinion, whose main purpose was to
politically harm Chrysi Avgi. … We go straight to the prosecution in
person in order to sue those physical responsible and moral instigators,
responsible for illegal acts committed against me during the last two
days.”.................
