(Reuters) - Greek
leftist Rena Dourou first shot to fame for having a glass of water
thrown in her face on live television by a far-right Golden Dawn
lawmaker.
Two years later, the 39-year-old has a more impressive claim to fame - becoming the first radical leftist to win the first round vote to be governor of the greater Athens region, giving the opposition, anti-austerity Syriza party, a sharp boost in momentum ahead of European elections this weekend.
No radical left candidate has won an election for decades.
