Greece New Democracy Party Leader Reaffirms Opposition to Anti-Semitism,
Holocaust Denial
NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AJC, concerned about the recent inclusion of two anti-Semitic politicians in Nea Dimokratia (New Democracy), one of Greece's leading political parties, is gratified that party leader Antonis Samaras has reaffirmed his party's firm opposition to any expression of anti-Semitism or racism.
The two controversial politicians, Makis Voridis and Adonis Georgiadis, recently resigned from the far-right Popular Orthodox Rally, or LAOS, and plan to run as Nea Dimokratia candidates in April's elections.
Samaras, in an email to AJC, stressed that Nea Dimokratia's core values – total opposition to racism, anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial – remain unshakeable.
"We welcome the reaffirmation from Antonis Samaras of his party's foundational values," said AJC Executive Director David Harris. AJC first met Samaras over 20 years ago when he was foreign minister of Greece and has stayed in touch with him since.
