Greek politicians shout 'Heil Hitler'

Greece's parliament on Friday ejected a neo-Nazi lawmaker and shouts of 'Heil Hitler' were heard in the chamber in the latest incident involving the aggressive Golden Dawn far-right party.

Golden Dawn MP Panagiotis Iliopoulos was ordered to exit by the acting speaker for inappropriate behavior, as he mocked the leader of the main leftist opposition Syriza party.

As Iliopoulos was leaving the chamber with fellow Golden Dawn lawmakers, he called MPs applauding in approval "pathetic" and someone shouted "Heil Hitler" three times.

State-run Athens News Agency said the shouts came from Golden Dawn parliament spokesperson Christos Pappas, who is considered a senior party ideologue. Golden Dawn denied this.
