<p>“We are ready to open the ovens. We will turn them into soap &#8230; to wash cars and pavements. We will make lamps from their skin ,” Alexandros Plomaritis, 44, a deputy candidate in Greece&#8217;s parliamentary elections last summer, is heard saying in the film.</p>
<p>The film titled “The Cleaners” was shot with the full knowledge of the members, according to Channel 4, although a statement from Golden Dawn claims the members were unaware that they were being filmed.</p>
<p>The documentary, can be viewed on the Channel 4 News website, but comes with a warning that it contains highly offensive and racist language.</p>
<p>Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris described the video as “tragicomic” and the opinions expressed as “laughable.”</p>
<p>In a related development, Golden Dawn MPs have told supporters of the far right party that it will create privately-run nursery schools for Greek children.</p>
<p>Speaking at an event in Crete last week, lawmakers Ilias Panagiotaros and Ilias Lagos, announced the party’s intention to open its own nursery schools.</p>
<p>The extremist party’s deputies launched an attack on the Greek left, claiming it had caused children to learn a warped version of the country’s history.</p>
<p>Golden Dawn, the extreme right-wing party in Greece, won 18 seats in the country’s last election.</p>
<p>Since then support for the party has doubled as it pushes tough new anti-immigrant laws, including banning non-ethnic Greeks from the military and police.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.alyunaniya.com/golden-dawn-hands-out-free-food-only-to-greeks-and-not-immigrants/mixaloliakos/" rel="attachment wp-att-6632"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6632" title="mixaloliakos" src="http://www.alyunaniya.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/mixaloliakos-500x341.png" alt="" width="500" height="341" /></a>Greece&#8217;s far-right Golden Dawn party handed out free food outside parliament on Wednesday  but only to card-carrying Greek citizens and not to immigrants.</p>
<p>Volunteer members of the party dressed in black gave milk, pasta, olive oil and patatoes to Hundreds who stood in line at Athens’ main Syntagma Square, showing their ID cards to validate their citizenship in order to receive assistance as the country’s poverty and unemployment rates continue to soar.</p>
<p>Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris said the food came from Greek firms and Greek producers only. The party ignored a local authority ban on allowing the food handout in the square.</p>
<p>In July, the far-right Golden Dawn party was accused of organizing a racist blood drive. The party was trying to get Greeks to donate blood exclusively to other Greek-born citizens.</p>
<p>Golden Down, which many say is neo-Nazi, is known for constant assaults on immigrants.</p>
<div>Leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos rejected claims of affiliation with Nazism, despite the party’s emblem very closely resembling a swastika.</div>
<p>In mid-July, the Greek Human Rights Watch rang an alarm, saying migrants were being attacked all over the country. Although there was no direct evidence of Golden Dawn&#8217;s connection to those attacks, Human Rights Watch said some facts suggest that the extremist party was involved in the attacks.</p>
<p>Anti-immigrant sentiment in Greece is largely fueled by the economic crisis the country faces. Greece has always been a gateway for immigrants coming from Asia and Africa to Europe in large numbers.</p>
<p>Public support for the party has dramatically increased, twenty-fold, since elections in 2009, according to <em>AP.</em> This May, Golden Dawn gained 7 per cent of the vote at the parliamentary elections, managing to pass the threshold for the first time.</p>
