EJC welcomes vote to cut off funding for Golden Dawn

European Jewish Congress President Dr. Moshe Kantor welcomed and praised the passing of a vote in the Greek Parliament to cut off government funding to the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party."A democracy should not assist the funding of its destruction," Kantor said. "The Golden Dawn, like other similar parties in Europe, are a major threat to democracy and to defund them is a democratic necessity. The European Jewish Congress welcomes this decision."

Predsjednik Europskog Židovskog kongresa, Moshe Kantor, je pozdravio glasovanje Grčkog parlamenta da prestaje financiranjem neonacističke partije   Golden Dawn.

Kantor je rekao: " Demokracija ne treba sudjelovati u potpori svog uništenja". Golden Dawn i slične partije u Europi su prijetnja za demokraciju i prestanak njihovog financiranja je demokratska nužnost. Europski kongres pozdravlja tu odluku".

Građani ni jedne europske zemlje ne trebaju davati svoje poreze  da bi promovirale ksenofobiju i rasizam, a "autoriteti" imaju obavezu da osiguraju da  se mržnja i netolerancija  ne rašire.

The measure, passed late Tuesday by 235 lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament, freezes funding for parties whose leadership is accused of involvement in a criminal group or terrorism.

"I hope that this example is followed in other parts of Europe, like for Jobbik in Hungary and Svoboda in the Ukraine," Kantor said. "This vote in the Greek Parliament is part of the valiant fight back against the rise of neo-Nazism in Europe and this momentum needs to be maintained in Greece and elsewhere. Democracies also need protection from abuse."
