Greek politician: 'What is a man if he can hit a 58-year-old woman'?
Greek Communist Party member Liana Kanelli has described the moment she was hit in the face during a live TV debate.
Neo-nazi Golden Dawn spokesperson Ilias Kasidiaris was seen throwing water at SYIZA's Rena Dourou and then slapping Liana Kanelli.
"I was ashamed of the political image of this country," Kanelli told Radio 4's PM programme."I said, what are you doing? Then he raises his hand and he boxes to my face.
"I've been in wars and revolutions, I've seen dead guys, [but] it's the first time in front of so many witnesses that you see the snake coming out of the egg.
"He can call me an old Commie, but what is a man if he can hit a 58-year-old elected woman?"
