Ilias Kassidiaris: Coalition Talks

Golden Dawn Dept: Beginning today Golden Dawn is officially in Parliament to speak the language of truth and to express all Greeks, said Ilias Kassidiaris, who was elected deputy and also acts as the party spokesman, according to Globe and Mail. Coalition talks collapsed after nine days, leaving no other option but a return to the ballot box. A caretaker government has been appointed, to be led by a senior judge, and the newly sworn-in Parliament is to be dissolved Friday so an election can officially be called. It is expected to be held June 17 and the 21 legislators 20 men and one woman were the first to enter the main chamber of Parliament for the swearing-in ceremony. The Golden Dawn ones refused to stand for the separate swearing-in of two Greek Muslim legislators who took their oaths on the Koran instead of on the Bible, remaining seated as the rest of the assembly stood. The legislators will only be in power for one day. The May 6 election left no party with enough votes to form a government after Greeks furious over the handling of the country's financial crisis deserted the two formerly dominant parties, the socialists and conservatives, and turned instead to smaller groups to the right and left of the political spectrum.
