The Popular Association – Golden Dawn (Greek:
Λαϊκός
Σύνδεσμος – Χρυσή Αυγή Laïkós Sýndesmos - Chrysí Avgí),
usually known simply as Golden Dawn (Greek:
Χρυσή
Αυγή, Chrysí Avgí pronounced [xriˈsi
avˈʝi]), is a
right-wing extremist[5]
Greek
political party. It is led by
Nikolaos Michaloliakos.
Scholars and media have described it as
neo-Nazi[3][6][7]
and
fascist,[8][9]
though the group rejects these labels.[10]
Members have expressed admiration of the former dictator
Ioannis Metaxas, who ruled Greece from 1936 until 1941.[11]
They have also made use of
Nazi symbolism, and have praised figures of
Nazi Germany in the past.[12][13][14]
According to academic sources, the group is
racist
and
xenophobic,[15][16]
while the party's leader has openly identified it as nationalist and
racist.[17]
Michaloliakos began the foundations of what would become Golden Dawn
in 1980. It first received widespread attention in 1991, and in 1993
registered as a political party. It temporarily ceased political
operations in 2005 and was absorbed by the
Patriotic Alliance. The Alliance, in turn, ceased operations after
Michaloliakos withdrew support in the spring of 2007. Golden Dawn held
its sixth congress, in March 2007, where party officials announced the
resumption of political activism. At
local elections on 7 November 2010 Golden Dawn got 5.3% of the vote
in the municipality of Athens, winning a seat at the City Council. In
some neighbourhoods with large immigrant communities it reached 20%.[18]
The party ran a campaign during the
Greek national elections of 2012 based on concerns for unemployment,
austerity and the economy, as well as virulent
anti-immigration rhetoric, which gained a large increase in support
from the Greek electorate.[19]
It received 7% of the popular vote, enough for the party to enter the
Hellenic Parliament for the first time with 21 seats.[20]
Following a
second election in June, this was reduced to 18 seats.
In September 2013, following an investigation surrounding the murder
of
anti-fascist musician
Pavlos Fyssas, the
Greek Supreme Court deemed Golden Dawn to be a criminal
organization. Several MPs and members of the party, including
Michaloliakos, were arrested shortly afterwards.[21][22]
History
1980–2005
Cover of the first issue of Chrysi Avgi magazine,
December 1980
In December 1980,
Nikolaos Michaloliakos and a group of supporters launched Chrysi
Avgi magazine. Michaloliakos had been active in
far right politics for many years, having been arrested several
times for politically motivated offences, such as beatings and illegal
possession of explosive materials, which led to his discharge from the
military.[23][24][25]
While he was in prison, Michaloliakos met the leaders of the
Greek military junta of 1967–1974 and laid the foundations of the
Golden Dawn party.[24]
According to the newspaper
Eleftherotypia the characteristics of the magazine and the
organisation were clearly
National
Socialist.[23]
Chrysi Avgi magazine ceased publication in April 1984, when
Michaloliakos joined the
National Political Union and took over the leadership of its youth
section.[24]
In January 1985, he broke away from the National Political Union and
founded the Popular National Movement – Golden Dawn, which was
officially recognised as a political party in 1993.[24]
Golden Dawn remained largely on the margins of far right politics
until the
Macedonia naming dispute in 1991 and 1992.[23]
The Greek newspaper
Eleftherotypia reported that on October 10, 1992, about 30
Golden Dawn members attacked students at the
Athens University of Economics and Business during a massive
demonstration against the
use of the name Macedonia by the
Republic of Macedonia.[26]
Around the same time, the first far-right
street gangs appeared under the leadership of Giannis Giannopoulos,
a former military officer who was involved with the
South African
Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) during the 1980s.[23]
After the events of 1991 and 1992, Golden Dawn had gained a stable
membership of more than 200 members, and Giannopoulos rose within the
party hierarchy.[23]
Golden Dawn ran in the
1994 European Parliament election, gaining 7,264 votes nationwide;
0.1% of the votes cast.[27]
During the 1980s the party embraced
Hellenic Neopagan beliefs, praised the
Twelve Olympians and described
Marxism
and
liberalism as "the ideological carriers of
Judeo-Christianity."[28]
The party went through ideological changes later and welcomed
Greek Orthodox Christianity.[29]
A number of Golden Dawn members participated during the
Bosnian War in the
Greek Volunteer Guard (GVG), which was part of the Drina Corps of
the
Army of Republika Srpska. A few GVG volunteers were present in
Srebrenica during the
Srebrenica massacre, and they raised a
Greek flag at a ruined church after the fall of the town.[30]
Spiros Tzanopoulos, a GVG sergeant who took part in the attack against
Srebrenica, said many of the Greek volunteers participated in the war
because they were members of Golden Dawn.[31]
Golden Dawn members in the GVG were decorated by
Radovan Karadžić, but, according to Charis Kousoumvris, a former
member of Golden Dawn, those who were decorated, later left the party.[31]
In April 1996, Giannopoulos represented the party at a pan-European
convention of far-right nationalist parties in
Moscow,
where he presented a bust of
Alexander the Great to
Liberal Democratic Party of Russia leader
Vladimir Zhirinovsky for his birthday.[23]
Golden Dawn participated in the
1996 legislative election in September, receiving 4,487 votes
nationwide; 0.07% of the votes cast.[32]
In October 1997, Giannopoulos published an article in Chrysi Avgi
magazine calling for nationalist
vigilantism against
immigrants and liberals.[33]
In 1998, a prominent party member, Antonios Androutsopoulos, assaulted
Dimitris Kousouris, a left-wing student activist. The resulting media
attention, along with internal party conflicts (due to poor results in
the 1996 elections), led some of its most extreme members to gradually
fade from official party affairs.[23]
Androutsopoulos evaded arrest for seven years, with the alleged
assistance of sympathetic members of the police.[citation
needed] He finally surrendered in 2005 and was
convicted of the attempted murder of Kousouris and another two left-wing
activists, for which he received a 21-year prison term. The rest of the
members of the squad that hit Kousouris were never legally prosecuted.
In March 2009, Androutsopoulos appealed his sentence and received 12
years, to be finally released from prison a few months later. Meanwhile,
Golden Dawn continued to hold rallies and marches, and it ran in the
1999 European election in an alliance with the
Front Line party, gaining 48,532 votes nationwide; 0.75% of the
votes cast.[23][34]
Eleftherotypia criticized Chrysi Avgi in 2005 after party members
distributed fliers condemning homosexuality during a
gay pride parade in Athens.[35]
2005 and later
According to Golden Dawn's leader, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, the party
suspended its own autonomous political activities after 1 December 2005
because of clashes with anarchists.[36]
Golden Dawn members were instructed to continue their activism within
the
Patriotic Alliance party, which was very closely linked to Golden
Dawn.[37][38]
The former leader of Patriotic Alliance, Dimitrios Zaphiropoulos, was
once a member of Golden Dawn's political council, and Michaloliakos
became a leading member of Patriotic Alliance.[24]
There were accusations that the "Patriotic Alliance" was simply the new
name of Golden Dawn.[39]
Activities by Patriotic Alliance's members were often attributed to
Golden Dawn (even by themselves), creating confusion.[38]
This is the main reason Golden Dawn's members announced the withdrawal
of their support of the Patriotic Alliance, which eventually led to the
interruption of Golden Dawn's political activities.[40][41]
In March 2007, Golden Dawn held its sixth congress and announced the
resumption of their political and ideological activism.[42][third-party
source needed]
In May 2012,
WordPress shut down Golden Dawn's official website and
blog due to
death threats against Xenia Kounalaki, a journalist.[43][44][45]
Golden Dawn launched a new website a few days later.
Activities
Golden Dawn claimed to have local organisations in 32 Greek cities,
as well as in
Cyprus.[46]
The party created the Epitropi Ethnikis Mnimis (Committee
of National Memory), to organise demonstrations commemorating the
anniversaries of certain Greek national events. Since 1996, Epitropi
Ethnikis Mninis has organized an annual march, usually on 31 January
in Athens,
in memory of three Greek officers who died during the
Imia military crisis. According to the
European National Front website, the march in 2006 was attended by
2,500 people, although no neutral sources have confirmed that number.
Epitropi Ethnikis Mninis has continued its activities, and a march
took place on 31 January 2010.[47][48][third-party
source needed]
Epitropi Ethnikis Mnimis has organized annual rallies on
17 June in
Thessalonica, in memory of
Alexander the Great.[49]
Police confronted the participants of the rally of 2006, forcing Golden
Dawn and Patriotic Alliance members to leave the area after conflicts
with leftist groups.[49][50]
Later that day, Golden Dawn members gathered in the building of
state-owned
television channel
ERT3 and held a protest as they tried to stop the channel from
broadcasting.[50]
Police surrounded the building and arrested 48 Golden Dawn members.[49][50]
In September 2005, Golden Dawn attempted to organise a festival
called "Eurofest 2005 – Nationalist Summer Camp" at the grounds of a
Greek summer camp. The planned festival depended on the participation of
the German
National Democratic Party of Germany, the
Italian
Forza Nuova and the
Romanian
Noua Dreaptă, as well as
Spanish
and
American far-right groups. The festival was banned by the
government.[51][52]
In June 2007, Golden Dawn sent representatives to protest against the
G8 convention
in
Germany, together with the
National Democratic Party of Germany and other European far-right
organisations.[53][third-party
source needed]
In June 2011,
Foreign Policy reported that in the midst of the
2010–2011 Greek protests, gangs of Golden Dawn members were
increasingly being seen in some of the higher-crime areas of Athens.[54]
In May 2012, the BBC reported on how Golden Dawn had become sort of a
local 'Robin
Hood' in some high-immigration areas of Athens,[55]
since the party was developing a social program which included the
delivery of free or minimal cost food among the most unfavored strata of
ethnic Greeks.[56][57]
The party offers protection for victims of crime, a service that has
been appreciated by citizens and utilized by the police, which refers
Athenians to the Golden Dawn for help, especially when immigrant crime
is involved. The party, however, demands allegiance in return for their
service.[58]
Youth Front
Golden Dawn's Youth Front has distributed fliers with nationalist
messages in
Athens schools and organised the concert series
Rock Against Communism. It publishes the
white nationalist magazine Resistance Hellas-Antepithesi. The
magazine is a sister publication of the
United States-based
National Alliance's
Resistance magazine.[59][third-party

Political
representation
In May 2009, Golden Dawn took part in the European elections,
receiving 23,564 votes corresponding to 0.5% of the total votes.[60]
In 2010 it won 5.3% of the vote in
Athens. In that election, the party won its first municipal council
seat[61]
and
entered parliament for the first time in 2012. In the Greek
parliamentary elections of May 2012, the party received 6.97% of the
popular vote. In the rerun of the elections in June 2012,[62]
their share of the vote was 6.92%.[63]

Violence involving Golden Dawn
Violent confrontation between anarchists and Golden Dawn
members in Thessaloniki in 2002.
Members of Golden Dawn have been accused of carrying out acts of
violence and
hate crimes against immigrants, political opponents and
ethnic minorities.[64]
Golden Dawn's offices have been attacked repeatedly by
anarchists and leftists[52][65]
and clashes between members of Golden Dawn and leftists have not been
unusual.[66]
In January 1998, Alexis Kalofolias, the vocalist of the band
The Last Drive, was attacked and suffered permanent damage to his
right eye, losing 2% of his eyesight.[64][67]
KLIK magazine and the newspaper
Eleftherotypia, which is affiliated with left-wing politics,[68]
reported that members of Golden Dawn were responsible for the attack.[64][67]
In 2000, unknown suspects vandalized the Monastirioton
synagogue, a memorial for
Holocaust victims and Jewish cemeteries in Thessaloniki and
Athens.[69]
There were claims that Golden Dawn's symbols were present at all four
sites.[69]
The KIS, the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece, the
Coalition of the Left, of Movements and Ecology, the
Greek Helsinki Monitor and others issued statements condemning these
acts.[70][71]
The Cyprus chapter of Golden Dawn has been accused of attacks against
Turkish Cypriots, and one member was arrested for attacking
Turkish-Cypriots in 2005.[72]
In November 2005, Golden Dawn's offices were attacked by a group of
Anarchists with
molotov cocktails and stones. There were gunshots, and two people
(who testified that they were just passing by) were injured.[65]
According to Golden Dawn, three suspects were arrested and set free.[52]
During the subsequent police investigation, leftovers from
molotov cocktails were discovered in Golden Dawn's offices.[65]
Golden Dawn has stated that this was the reason for the organisation's
disbandment.[36][37]
On 6 October 1999, during a football match between
Greece and
Albania in Athens, Albanian supporters burnt a Greek flag in their
stand. This act was captured and broadcast extensively by the Greek
media, leading to a series of angry reactions by Greek nationalists
against foreign immigrants. In a specific case, on the night of 22
October, Pantelis Kazakos, a nationalist and a member of the Golden
Dawn,[73][74][75]
said he felt "insulted by the burning of the Greek flag" and shot and
killed two people and wounded seven others in an attack in central
Athens. All of the victims were immigrants, and four of the wounded
remain paralysed. Other Golden Dawn members, feeling also "insulted by
the burning of the Greek flag", formed the
hooligan firm Galazia Stratia (Greek for "Blue Army"). It has
described itself as a "fan club of the Greek national teams" and its
goal as "to defend Greek national pride inside the stadiums." It has
been reported that following Golden Dawn's official disbandment in 2005,
many former party members have put most of their energy into promoting
Galazia Stratia.[76]
Galazia Stratia is closely linked to Golden Dawn, and the two
groups shared the same street address.[77]
Golden Dawn made no attempt to deny the connections, openly praising the
actions of Galazia Stratia in its newspaper, and accepting praise
in return from the firm.[78]
Galazia Stratia and Golden Dawn have been accused of various
acts of sports-related violence.[77]
In September 2004, after a football match between Greece and Albania in
Tirana
(which Greece lost 2–1), Albanian immigrants living in Greece went out
on the streets of Athens and other cities to celebrate the victory.
Greek hooligans felt provoked by this and violence erupted against
Albanian immigrants in various parts of Greece, resulting in the murder
of an Albanian in Zakynthos and many others being injured. Golden Dawn
and Galazia Stratia were proven to be directly responsible for
many of the attacks. According to Eleftherotypia, Galazia
Stratia members severely assaulted a
Palestinian and a
Bangladeshi during celebrations following the success of the
Greek national basketball team at the
2006 FIBA World Championship.[76]
Periandros
case
Antonios Androutsopoulos (aka Periandros), a prominent member
of Golden Dawn, was a fugitive from 1998 to 14 September 2005 after
being accused of the attempted murder on 16 June 1998 of three left-wing
students – including Dimitris Kousouris, who was badly injured.[79][80][81]
Androutsopoulos had been sentenced
in absentia to four years of prison for illegal weapon
possession while the attempted murder charges against him were still
standing.[82]
The authorities' failure to apprehend Androutsopoulos for seven years
prompted criticism by the Greek media. An article in
Ta Nea
claimed that Periandros remained in Greece and evaded arrest because of
his connections with the police.[79]
In an interview in 2004,
Michalis Chrisochoidis, the former minister of public order and a
member of
PASOK, claimed that such accusations were unfounded, and he blamed
the inefficiency of the Greek police. Some allege that Androutsopoulos
had evaded arrest because he had been residing in
Venezuela until 2005 when he turned himself in.[83]
His trial began on 20 September 2006, and he was convicted to 21 years
in prison on 25 September 2006.[84][85]
Golden Dawn members were present at his trial, shouting nationalist
slogans; he reportedly hailed them using the
Nazi salute.[84]
Imia 2008
On 2 February 2008, Golden Dawn planned to hold the annual march for
the twelfth anniversary of the Imia military crisis. Anti-fascist groups
organised a protest in order to cancel the march, as a response to
racist attacks supposedly caused by Golden Dawn members. Golden Dawn
members occupied the square in which the march was to take place, and
when anti-fascists showed up, clashes occurred. During the riots that
followed, Golden Dawn members were seen attacking the anti-fascists with
riot police doing nothing to stop them and actually letting them pass
through their lines. This led to two people being stabbed and another
two wounded by rocks. There were allegations that Golden Dawn members
even carried police equipment with them and that Golden Dawn's equipment
was carried inside a police van.[86][87]
Bomb attacks on Golden Dawn offices
On 19 March 2010, a bomb described by police as of "moderate power"
was detonated in the fifth floor office of Golden Dawn, in downtown
Athens. Twenty-five minutes prior to the blast, an unidentified caller
contacted a local newspaper in order to announce the attack. The
targeted building and the surrounding area were evacuated in response.
The explosion caused substantial property damage but no casualties. The
office reopened on 10 April 2010.[88]
On 4 December 2012, a makeshift bomb containing dynamite exploded at
Golden Dawn's office building in
Aspropyrgos, a suburb of Athens. The explosion caused significant
damage to two floors but produced no casualties.[89]
On 13 February 2013 an improvised bomb exploded in the regional
office of Golden Dawn in
Piraeus.
The explosion and the subsequent fire caused material damage. Next
morning a similar improvised bomb exploded outside the offices of Golden
Dawn in the city of
Larissa,
central Greece. The explosion caused only material damage.[90]
Liana Kanelli assault and reactions
On 7 June 2012, the Golden Dawn spokesman
Ilias Kasidiaris slapped the
Communist Party MP
Liana Kanelli about the head three times during a television debate;
she had swiped at him with a newspaper for throwing water over
SYRIZA MP
Rena Dourou. Kasidiaris was subsequently locked in a room at the
studio but knocked down the door and escaped. Greek prosecutors issued
an arrest warrant.[91]
Golden Dawn blamed Kanelli for the incident. The incident resulted in
several protests against Golden Dawn in Athens and other Greek cities.
Political analyst Theodore Couloumbis told
Reuters
that the sight of a young neo-Nazi beating up a defenceless woman could
cost the far right party votes, especially with women, though other
experts were of the opinion images of violence could play in their
favour—a
Facebook page dedicated to Kasidiaris picked up 6,000 'likes' within
24 hours.[92]
Disrupting an Event Promoting a Macedonian-Greek dictionary
In
Athens on 2 June 2009,
Rainbow activists were promoting a bilingual Macedonian–Greek
dictionary prepared by Vasko Karadža, an
ethnic Macedonian writer and translator born in
Dendrochori, Kastoria, in
Greece.
During the press conference approximately twenty Golden Dawn members,
some of them wearing
black shirts and
combat helmets, stormed the Foreign Press Association building where
the conference was being held. Two of the members ruined promotional
material, damaged member of the press’ cameras and verbally attacked
members of the panel and guests, among them
Victor Friedman, professor of Balkan and Slavic linguistics at the
University of Chicago, Dimitris Lithoxoou, a Greek writer, Riki Van
Boeschoten, associate professor of social anthropology at the
University of Thessaly, Thanasis Parisis, President of the Greek
branch of the
European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages. The mob decamped after
the police were called, and the press conference resumed without any
further incidents.[93]
Injury of 12-year-old girl in assault on Athens Mayor
On 2 May 2013, the Mayor of Athens,
Giorgos Kaminis, ordered riot police to break up a charity event at
Syntagma Square where Golden Dawn was handing out food exclusively
to poor Greek families - while forbidding access to any immigrants. The
charity event was broken up using tear gas.[94]
Later that day, the Golden Dawn MP
Giorgos Germenis (de/el/pl)
attempted to assault Kaminis at a charity where Kaminis was handing out
Easter candles to the children of unemployed parents, but reportedly
missed the mayor with his punch and instead hit a 12-year-old girl.[94][95][96]
Kaminis' bodyguards reportedly attempted to intervene and block the
punch, but were too slow, leaving the child with a bruised forehead.[95][96]
Germenis then reportedly attempted to draw a gun, but Kaminis'
bodyguards were able to restrain him and remove him from the event.[94][95][96]
Kaminis sued Germenis over the assault.[95][97]
Golden Dawn claims that it was in fact the mayor's bodyguards who
injured the girl.[citation

Death of
Pavlos Fyssas
In September 2013, a 45-year-old man who according to Greek police
had ties to Golden Dawn was arrested for murder after Pavlos Fyssas,
known as hip-hop artist Killah P, died following a brawl in
Piraeus.
The police later raided Golden Dawn offices in Athens. The party denies
any connection to the alleged murder.[98]
An ongoing investigation has since confirmed that the man was in contact
with party members prior to and at the time of the murder.[99]
A subsequent police crackdown led to raids on Golden Dawn offices and
the arrests of several party members, including party leader Nikolaos
Michaloliakos.[100]
Allegations of connections to the Greek police
In an interview in 1998 with the newspaper
Eleftherotypia, Georgios Romaios (the then
Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK)
Minister for Public Order) alleged the existence of "fascist
elements in the
Greek police", and vowed to suppress them.[101]
In a TV interview that same year, Romaios again claimed that there was a
pro-fascist group within the police force, although he said it was not
organized and was only involved in isolated incidents.[102]
The same year, Eleftherotypia published a lengthy article called "The
lower limbs of the police", which outlined connections between the
police and
neo-fascism.[103]
Dimitris Reppas, the PASOK
government spokesman, strongly denied such connections. However, the
article quoted a speech by the PASOK
Member of Parliament Paraskevas Paraskevopoulos about a riot caused
by
right wing extremists, in which he said:
"In Thessaloniki it is widely discussed that far-right
organisations are active in the security forces. Members of such
organisations were the planners and chief executioners of the riot
and nobody was arrested. A Special Forces officer, speaking at a
briefing of Special Forces policemen who were to be on duty that
day, told the policemen not to arrest anyone because the rioters
were not enemies and threatened that should this be overlooked there
would be penalties."[102]
Before the surrender of Androutsopoulos, an article in the newspaper
Ta Nea
claimed that the Golden Dawn had close relationships with some parts of
the Greek police force.[79]
In relation to the Periandros case, the article quoted an unidentified
police officer who said that "half the force wanted Periandros arrested
and the other half didn't". The article claimed that there was a
confidential internal police investigation which concluded that:
- Golden Dawn had very good relations and contacts with officers
of the force, on and off duty, as well as with rank and file police.
- The police provided the group with
batons and radio communications equipment during mass
demonstrations, mainly during celebrations of the
Athens Polytechnic uprising and during rallies by left-wing and
anarchist groups, in order to provoke riots.
- Periandros and the group's connections with the force largely
delayed his arrest.
- Periandros's brother, also a member of Golden Dawn, was a
security escort of an unnamed
New Democracy MP.
- Many Golden Dawn members were illegally carrying an assortment
of weapons.
The newspaper published a photograph of a typewritten paragraph with
no identifiable insignia as evidence of the secret investigation.[104]
In the article, the Minister for Public Order,
Michalis Chrysochoidis, responded that he did not recollect such an
investigation. Chrysochoidis also denied accusations that far-right
connections within the police force delayed the arrest of Periandros. He
said that leftist groups, including the ultra-left anti-state resistance
group
17 November, responsible for several murders, had similarly evaded
the police for decades. In both cases, he attributed the failures to
"stupidity and incompetence" on behalf of the force.[79]
In more recent years, anti-fascist and left-wing groups have claimed
that many of Golden Dawn's members have close relations (and/or
collaborating) with the Greek Central Intelligence Agency (KYP), and
also accused the party's general-secretary, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, of
working for the KYP from the 1980s. The evidence for this is a payslip
showing the names of both Michaloliakos and
Konstantinos Plevris as operating for the agency.[105]
Golden Dawn claim that the payslip is a forgery.[106][third-party

In July 2012, it was reported that
Nils Muižnieks, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, had
placed the alleged ties of Greek Police and Golden Dawn under scrutiny,[107]
following reports of the Greek state's continued failure to acknowledge
the problem.[108][109]
In an interview he gave on 2 February 2013 to the Greek newspaper "Ta
Nea", Muižnieks clearly stated that, following his investigation, he
now has strong evidence of ties and cooperation between the Greek Police
and Golden Dawn; he also stated that Golden Dawn is a nazi party that
shows contempt to democracy and practices racial violence.[110]
According to the political analyst Paschos Mandravelis, "A lot of the
party's backing comes from the police, young recruits who are
a-political and know nothing about the Nazis or Hitler. For them, Golden
Dawn supporters are their only allies on the frontline when there are
clashes between riot police and leftists."[58]
Following the
Greek Parliamentary elections of 6 May 2012, it has been exposed
that in some districts more than one out of two Greek police officers
voted for Golden Dawn party.[111]
Polling stations surrounding the Attica General Police Directorate in
the Athens A constituency where on-duty police officers are known to
have voted reported slightly more than 20% support for the party,
whereas "civilian" polling stations in the constituency reported support
of around 6%. The total percentage of Golden Dawn votes in Athens A was
7.8%. A police official stated that support for the party was high and
growing among the police, as well as in the branches of the military.[112]
- A police officer has been suspended pending investigation while
seven others have been identified for taking part in Golden Dawn
raid against stalls (10 September 2012) operated by migrants in an
open-market at Mesolongi.[113]
- Furthermore, following Golden Dawn's repeated attacks at
Amerikis Square, in Athens, against the Tanzanian Community (where
Greek Police failed to proceed in Golden Dawn arrests), an
anti-fascist protest was organised which led to clashes between
anti-fascist groups and Golden Dawn. The police arrested
anti-fascists, and it has been reported that the police used torture
during their confinement in the Central Police Headquarters in
Athens by members of the police force. Victims reported that police
threatened the protesters that their home addresses would be given
to Golden Dawn. (30 September 2012).[114]
- Members of the Golden Dawn gathered at "Xytirio theater"
(Piraeus ave., Athens) along with priests and para-religious
followers to condemn its "blasphemous"
Terrence McNally’s play "Corpus
Christi", chase and beat a journalist in front of police for
taking pictures at the incident; his call for help went unreplied by
bystanding police.[115][116]
According to other reports Golden Dawn lawmaker Christos Pappas
entered the police van and released one of 4 detainees (11 October
2012).[117][118][119]
Allegations of
Nazism
The Golden Dawn banner consists of a Greek
meander in a style which has been compared to the
Nazi Party banner.
The party is regularly described as
neo-Nazi by news media and academic sources,[7][9][120]
and members are frequently responsible for anti-semitic graffiti.[121]
Officially denying that it has any connection to Neo-Nazism, the party
admires
Ioannis Metaxas,[11][122]
the Greek general who established
the 4th of August regime, in Greece between 1936 and 1941.
Ilias Kasidiaris, a spokesman for Golden Dawn, wrote an article that
was published in Golden Dawn magazine on 20 April 2011, in which he
said: What would the future of Europe and the whole modern world be
like if World War II (which the democracies, or in fact the Jews –
according to general
Ioannis Metaxas – declared on Germany) hadn't stopped the renewing
route of National Socialism? Certainly, fundamental values which mainly
derive from ancient Greek culture, would be dominant in every state and
would define the fate of peoples. Romanticism as a spiritual movement
and classicism would prevail against the decadent subculture that
corroded the white man. Extreme materialism would have been discarded,
giving its place to spiritual exaltation. In the same article, Adolf
Hitler is characterized as a great social reformer and
military genius.[123]
In an article published in 1987 in the Golden Dawn magazine titled
"Hitler for 1000 years", its editor Michaloliakos showed his support for
Nazism and white supremacy.[124]
Specifically he wrote, "We are the faithful soldiers of the
National Socialist idea and nothing else" and "[...] WE
EXIST, and continue the battle, the battle for the final victory of our
race".[124]
He ends the article by writing "1987, 42 years later, with our
thought and soul given to the last great battle, with our thought and
soul given to the black and red banners, with our thought and soul given
to the memory of our great Leader, we raise our right hand up, we salute
the Sun and with the courage, that is compelled by our military honor
and our National Socialist duty we shout full of passion, faith to the
future and our visions: HEIL HITLER!".[124]
Furthermore he uses capital letters for pronouns referring to Hitler ("by
Himself", "His people").[124]
On 17 August 1987, the war criminal
Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler's deputy in the Nazi Party, who was given
a
life sentence at the
Nuremberg Trials, committed suicide. The following day, on 18 August
1987, Golden Dawn members distributed proclamations in the center of
Athens with the phrase RUDOLF HESS IMMORTAL (Greek:RUDOLF
HESS ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ).[125]
In pictures taken during the first congress of Golden Dawn in
February 1990, the congress hall is decorated with the
Swastika and the
Wolfsangel.[126]
There are many cases in which Golden Dawn members have appeared to
give a Nazi salute.[127][128][129]
The founder of the party, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, appeared to give a
Nazi salute in the Athens city council. He claims that it was merely
"the salute of the
national youth organisation of Ioannis Metaxas".[122][130]
The party states its logo is a traditional
Greek meander, not a Nazi symbol.[131]
In May 2012, Golden Dawn ran in Greek elections under the slogan "So
we can rid this land of filth".[132]
On his post-election statement, the leader, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, had
placed a marble eagle on an obvious position on his desk, which
according to media reports bears similarity to the eagle of the Nazi
Third Reich.[133]
After the elections, Eleni Zaroulia, a Golden Dawn MP, wore an
iron cross ring during her inauguration, a symbol which has been
associated with Nazism.[134]
As depicted in a picture taken on 14 September 2012, Panagiotis
Iliopoulos, another Golden Dawn MP, has a tattoo reading the Nazi
greeting
Sieg Heil.[135]
On 23 July 2012, Artemis Matthaiopoulos, a member of Golden Dawn, was
elected as MP for the town of
Serres.
The website left.gr (associated with
SYRIZA), reported that Matthaiopoulos was the frontman of the
Nazi
punk band "Pogrom" and pointed to the band's song "Auschwitz" with
antisemitic lyrics such as "fuck Anne Frank" and "Juden raus".[136][137]
Ilias Kasidiaris quoted the antisemitic hoax
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in a speech to parliament on
23 October 2012. Defending himself in a discussion on whether to lift
his parliamentary immunity over his assault of Kanelli, he quoted
Protocol 19: "In order to destroy the prestige of heroism we shall send
them for trial in the category of theft, murder and every kind of
abominable and filthy crime."[138]
Golden Dawn's leader, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, denied the existence of
gas chambers and ovens at Nazi
extermination camps.[139][140]
On 6 June 2013, the Golden Dawn MP Ilias Kasidiaris implied during a
stormy debate in the Greek Parliament that he is a Holocaust denier.[141]
Archbishop Ieronymos II of Athens has criticized Golden Dawn,
stating: "The
Church loves all people, whether they are black, white or
non-Christians."[142]
Stance
toward other countries
In 2012, the party leader, Nikolaos Mihaloliakos, said during an
election meeting in
Thessaloniki that "We will take İstanbul, İzmir as well as the Black
Sea back." Earlier, Mihaloliakos had said that one day the "Queen City"
(Istanbul)
will be "liberated". These regions once had significant Greek
populations until the
Treaty of Lausanne. He criticized Thessaloniki's mayor for wanting
to name one of the city's streets after
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.[17][143]
In January 2013, a group of supporters of Golden Dawn attacked the
car of Turkish
consul-general Osman İlhan Şener in
Komotini during an
anti-Turkey protest. The party members also insulted
Atatürk during the attack.[144]
Mihaloliakos has also called for the "liberation" of
Northern Epirus, which is today part of southern
Albania,
has a
substantial Greek population and is claimed by Greek
irredentists. His party also supports the
annexation
of Cyprus. Election advertisements for Golden Dawn depicted the
burning of
American and
Israeli flags.[145]
