Home Secretary urged to ban planned Golden Dawn and BNP gathering in Holborn

Far-Right activists including members of Greece’s Golden Dawn Party are planning a gathering in central London this weekend.

Gabor Vona, the leader of the Hungarian nationalist party Jobbik, is planning to meet members of Golden Dawn – some of whom have openly expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler – and the British National Party (BNP) in Holborn on Sunday.

But opponents have written to Home Secretary Theresa May demanding a ban, highlighting that the event is due to take place the day before Holocaust Memorial Day.

London Assembly Member Andrew Dismore, who as a Labour MP founded Holocaust Memorial Day and chaired Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights, told the Jewish News that Jobbik is “the most powerful outwardly fascist political party in Europe”.

In his letter to the Home Secretary he said: “I have no doubt that all decent thinking people in London will join with me in demanding that the Home Secretary says ‘No to Jobbik’ “.
