The weekly newspaper "Alpha Ena", voice of the biggest extreme right wing political party "LAOS" published a crude anti-Semitic declaration of Mr. Mylonopoulos, an extreme right wing member of the ballot of the official Athens municipal candidate with New Democracy Nikitas Kaklamanis, saying that " if you wash the Jew, you’ll waste your soap. If we give them a little more time they'll break Hitler's record, in numbers of victims we mean. In brutality they've surpassed him".
