Holocaust-deniers in Greek Parliament: [keeptalkinggreece.com] During a session of the economic committee investigated the infamous Lagarde-List, GD MP Ilias Kassidiaris lambasted one of the witnesses – Greek-Jewish Samy Mioni - for not testifying in person in front of the committee but having submitted a written testimony. Samy Mioni’s name is on the Lagarde-list in connection with a 500 million euro account.

“Mr Mioni does not appear before the committee because there were Hocolaust deniers. Indeed, there are committee members who deny it” Kasidiaris said.

This statement triggered an uproar among the other members of the committee with one PASOK MP asking whether there was any punishment for an MP denying the Holocaust using the Parliament floor.
