In 2013, Greece was shaken by an unprecedented wave of prosecutions against the third largest party in Parliament, Golden Dawn.
One of the elements that caused particular shock was the suspension of state funding for the democratically elected party.
Many wondered who could have proposed to the prime minister’s staff such an unconstitutional measure.
And it seems that the answer is emerging several years later.
At a time when the world is reeling from the revelations contained in the files of the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the eye of BN fell on a file with explicit references to involvement in Greece, specifically mentioning the economic strangulation of Golden Dawn.
The bombshell explodes
The email refers to the period shortly before the vote of the Hellenic Parliament on the suspension of state funding for Golden Dawn.
It recalls that Golden Dawn held 18 of the 300 seats, therefore it was not a marginal force.
It further stresses that the Prime Minister of Greece, namely Antonis Samaras at the time, met with one and only one organization, which is described as “friendly to Greece”, and committed himself before it to combat “Nazism”.
This organization is explicitly named as the AJC (American Jewish Committee).
The critical point is not the condemnation of Golden Dawn, that was politically driven.
The critical question is who speaks with whom, when, and under what narrative.
At the same time, Golden Dawn:
1) held 18 of the 300 seats,
2) was not a marginal formation,
3) but an existing political force within the parliamentary system.
When crucial political decisions are taken:
1) after meetings with specific international organizations,
2) with emphasis not only on the domestic level but also on global agendas, then the public debate must be complete and transparent.
Politics is not judged only at the ballot votes.
It is also judged in the backstage processes that precede them.
And apparently here the former prime minister has failed completely.
On how the prosecution against the MPs of 2012 was organized, the right hand of Antonis Samaras at the time had also spoken, in the notorious video, Takis Baltakos.
