Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has pledged to eradicate the shame of neo-Nazism as judicial authorities prepared sweeping criminal charges against members of the far-right Golden Dawn party, according to an AFP report.
'We are dedicated in completely eradicating such a shame,' Samaras said in a speech to the American Jewish Committee in New York.
'We must do it within the context of our democratic constitution. But we have to go all the way and do whatever it takes,' the premier said, according to a text released by his office.
Some two dozen members of the neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn, including six lawmakers, will appear in court this week after a series of arrests and police raids on party offices at the weekend.
