ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek lawmaker resigned from the far-right Golden Dawn on Saturday, becoming the first MP to desert the party, which is being investigated over a series of violent attacks against immigrants and political opponents.
In a first crack in party unity, Chrysovalantis Alexopoulos said he had not been aware of the criminal activities that were revealed during the investigation that followed the fatal stabbing of an anti-fascist rapper by a party sympathiser in September. He also condemned the activities.
