Calling to Parliament for coup, Greek deputy arrested

Greek Golden Dawn MP Constantinos Barbarus was arrested three days after the Greek prosecution ordered prosecution of him on charges of high treason against the homeland.

The Neonazi MP has called to Parliament on Friday for coups, demanding that the army arrest the president of the Republic of Greece and the Greek prime minister. His call was made during a speech of hatred in the Parliament on the second day of discussions on the no-confidence motion that the leader of the conservative opposition, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has handed over to the government Tsipras about the agreement she has reached with Skopje on Macedonia's name.

Barabarus has escaped a Greek police raid that had the warrant for his arrest, quickly leaving Saturday evening. Today, he has been arrested in the Pendel district following a Greek antiterrorism operation, and he has also been accompanied by a man who sheltered him.
