The counter-terrorist squad of Greek police (ELAS) is taking over all cases linking Golden Dawn with criminal activities, after a decision by the chief of police.

The president of the Union of Greek Peripheral Governments (ENPE) Yannis Sgouros and its board asked Golden Dawn representatives to not attend their congress, through a letter.

Around ten persons attacked the offices of Golden Dawn, this evening, in the northern port city of Kavala, breaking the glass door with rocks and setting fire to trash bins outside.
