Quote:Golden Dawn MP says that Hezbollah is a model for the party in the way it helps even its 'poorest citizens'
Golden Dawn is determined to set up parallel government services "like the Hezbollah in Lebanon", a senior MP with the neofascist party has told Australian telelvision.
"Golden Dawn wants to become and will become like the Hezbollah in Lebanon, which in effect is a second government which helps even its poorest citizens," the MP, Ilias Panayiotaros, told SBS.
"Over time, Golden Dawn will do more for our fellow citizens," said Panayiotaros, over footage showing the party's Greeks-only food handout on May 2.
Commenting on the increase in suicide since the start of the crisis, Panayiotaros said that instead of taking their own lives, Greeks should target those who he says are to blame.
"This is tragic because Greeks were not like this. Instead of committing suicide, Greeks could have gone and killed the ones who were responsible for their problems," he told journalist Evan Williams, who informed his viewers that there have been "4,000 suicides" in Greece in the past four years. But official figures for 2011 say that 477 died by suicide in 2011.
When Williams him asked in turn "who should they kill?", Panayiotaros replied: Bankers, of course."
Breaking into a momentary smile, the Golden Dawn MP said Greeks should follow the example of Cyprus during the stock exchange crash in 2000, when bombs were placed at a brockerage and under a stockbroker's car.
The 15-minute news documentary, for SBS' Dateline programme, also shows Panayiotaros turning up for what he claims is a Greeks-only blood donation drive in a Smart car, with a handgun visable in his trousers pocket.
The MP claims the gun is legally held and that the party does not have police protection.
The party lost its police protection last September after a number of its MPs participated in violent incidents against migrant traders who they said were operating illegally.
