Greece’s Parliament voted Wednesday to lift the immunity from prosecution of a far-right member, Konstantinos Barbarousis, after accusations that he had taken part in attacks on vendors.
Mr. Barbarousis’ party, Golden Dawn, rose from the fringes to gain 18 parliamentary seats in June elections by opposing immigration. Last month, videos on the Internet showed Golden Dawn members as they smashed the stalls of vendors in Messolongi, claiming they lacked permits. Mr. Barbarousis appeared with the group in the videos.
