No kidding…

From the Guardian:

“Constantinou, a tall, thin man who has spent years running an organisation that protects migrants, is, like a growing number of Greeks, convinced that it is the police who have facilitated Golden Dawn. “Without police cover and protection Golden Dawn would not have survived,” he said. “And the proof of that is the failure to capture Kasidiaris.”

This can’t possibly be be news to anybody other than those who have expended all their energy freaking about Tsipras for the past month.  Greece has had one of the most corrupt, unprofessional — not to mention snide, arrogant and useless — police forces in Europe for a long time now.  As I said here: Batsoi
