Orthodox cleric receives threats following Golden Dawn comments

25/10/2012 A Greek orthodox cleric has been receiving threatening phone calls after speaking against the country’s increasingly popular neo-fascist party, according to press reports. A verger at the Aghios Dimitrios church in West Macedonia has reported that an unknown person recently called and said “we shall burn that commie.” The church has reportedly received numerous complaints and warnings from what appear to be supporters of Golden Dawn and nationalist activists. Metropolitan Pavlos of Siatista last week criticized Golden Dawn after members of the Greek far-right party protested against the premiere of Terrence McNally’s Corpus Christi in Athens.
