Greek politicians take power - for one day

The 300 MPs elected in Greece’s inconclusive May 6 ballot were sworn in today, including 21 from the right-wing Golden Dawn party.

Golden Dawn vehemently rejects the neo-Nazi label, insisting it is a nationalist patriotic party. But its meteoric rise from a largely marginalised party a few years ago to one that won nearly 7% in recent elections has alarmed many in Greece and in Europe.
