The Police have reported that last night they detained eight Golden Dawn members at the archeological site of the Oracle at Delphi.

According to the report, members of the local community reacted intensely and filed a complaint against Golden Dawn’s attempt to stage an “historical and educational” event under the full moon, without having a permit or authorization.

In an announcement the political party mentioned that it planned to stage an event “at the holiest place in the ancient world […] about matters of Greek history”. The other parties have accused the “Nazi ideologues” Golden Dawn of “exploiting and desecrating” the archeological site.
