SS songs and antisemitism: the week Golden Dawn turned openly Nazi
Supporters of the far-right party gave Hitler salutes and sang the Horst Wessel song outside parliament.

It's the singing that did it.


Otherwise I understand recently one GD leader praised two of the 20th century's mass murderers, Hitler and Stalin, as being great personalities.

Otherwise you understand?

Like you, that journalist has been discredited many times - which is probably why the Comments from the readers have been disabled. I think she still works from Istanbul. The degree of subjectivity she displays, the extreme exaggeration, as well as bending of reality (as knowledgeable commentators who happened to be in situations she reported about, have corrected) makes the Left look really desperate to win ground. Which is a shame she has chosen such a time when Greece is looking like the most moderate EU country as far as political extremism goes.

I would be more worried about the huge surge in UKIP's POWER in the UK. The unchallenged racism simply oozes around the UK....

Trojan horses, ney ney.

Problem is that these types of stories are a dime a dozen all over the world. It's not UKIP making the headlines but GD, because they are very vocal about their racism, anti-semiticism, and holocaust denial.

Even 20 minutes news stories are being aired during prime time. It's not a healthy look for Greece.

In Australia there has been a lot of media focus and some prominent politicians have come out demanding that the organization and all its activities be banned. They can do this by citing Greece's lead in declaring the party a 'criminal organization' and all they need to do is declare it a violent group or connect it to violent activities in Greece. Similar to something like Sinn Fein, HAMAZ, Al Qaeda or Jamaar Islamiyah plus hundreds of organizations like these. I am not sure what they have in mind, but they do not want this group in Australia and they also don't want The Australia Party but getting rid of them is difficult because they don't seem to have a history of violence or law breaking.

Also, some GD politicians were wanting to come to Australia and those that were facing charges in Greece were not granted a VISA.

So I wouldn't worry about this journalist! This type of media attention is everywhere, including ASIA!

It is also being reported extensively by Reporters of Greek Heritage in much the same manner.

I see since I complained that they didn't allow comments (since being published yesterday, 7th June, 21:14) they have this morning opened the comments section (first stupid post, 8th June, 9:36am). I'll say this for the Guardian - they try to portray fairness.

Let's see how many Brit commentators continue to turn a blind eye to the growing far-right racist extremism sweeping their Parliament and MEP representations (now UKIP being the strongest racist-representatives in the EU, not to mention the anti-EU Conservatives).

The journalist is also the correspondent for Greece and Turkey so her job is to write articles such as these!

I don't see how this can ever reflect on her 'credibility'. She would be stupid not writing about GD because the international media has been feasting on GD for a long time and for that GD have themselves to blame.

I would say that the attention is bordering near fever pitch or frenzy levels around the globe! Why? Well these kinds of stories sell. Greece has also had a most brutal economic collapse and depression that is unheard of since the 1930s Great Depression. It's also a great example of how history repeats itself. Generally speaking, these extreme parties gain power when the people become desperate and see no other option. Their life span is usually short lived and their power will disappear fast once Greece manages to pick itself up again. I believe they are at the bottom of the crest now so hopefully that should be it and things should slowly improve year after year.

What may occur is some kind of boom which is not unheard of after a war or economic collapse of this magnitude. Then it's bye bye to GD!

as far as I can see there are regular comments in the UK press about the UKIP and its racism,if not outright lunatic fringe, so one cannot say that a blind eye is being turned.
