Golden Dawn against Albanian school

10/04/2013 00:00

Three weeks after the first Albanian school opened in Kavala, dozens of
Golden Dawn activists protested in front of the building offered by the
Municipality of the city for the Albanian emigrants’ children, chanting
“Remove foreigners from Greece”.

They gathered in front of the city’s hall and chanted against Constandinos Simitsis for giving the municipality premises for free to the teaching of Albanian.

They marched in the city streets and distributed flyers in which they informed the citizens about the existence of this school in Kavala.

The Mayor of this city with 70.000 residents, with more than 9000 Albanian emigrants, declared that he considers the integration of emigrants as a major issue for the local institutions, and the teaching of their own language is a right that cannot be denied.

Answering to the Golden Dawn extremists, he declared that he doesn’t fear threats. The Albanian school will keep working and he is proud for opening it, an action that was supported by the Greek Ministry of Education.

Regardless the fact that polls see Golden Dawn as the third political force in Greece, there are many communes where human rights activists and citizens have opposed this party and their extremist ideas.
