Communist Party (KKE) leader Dimitris Koutsoumbas reserved barbs for most of the parties elected during Sunday’s election, in particular calling the re-election of Golden Dawn to Parliament a “very negative” development.

“It’s clearly a Nazi party against the working classes”, was his first comment.

Turning to election victor SYRIZA, he said its percentages expressed the public’s anger with both New Democracy and PASOK parties, as well as the leftist party’s “fleeting hope” that it can follow a populist policy.
