The Chairman of the EPP Group, Joseph Daul, strongly condemns the killing of Pavlos Fyssas, a 34 year-old man, who, according to news reports, was assassinated yesterday in Athens by members of the Golden Dawn party. “Fanatic acts and violence do not have any place in modern and democratic societies in any EU Member States. Any crime is abominable but a political one is unacceptable within the European Union. We strongly condemn any kind of violence. Those responsible for this murder must be brought to justice as soon as possible.
