Greece: Far-right plays Nazi anthem at event

None

An extreme-right political party in Greece played a Nazi anthem during a charity event Wednesday that authorities had attempted to ban.

 

A Greek version of the Horst Wessel song, known as "keep the banner flying" in Greek, was played on loud speakers outside the central Athens offices of the Golden Dawn party, where members handed out bags of food and clothing. A video of the event, including the sound of the song, was posted on the party's website. The song remains banned in Germany, along with Nazi symbols. (AP)
