People holding a banner depicting Greek rap singer Pavlos Fyssas, who was stabbed and killed by a supporter of the extreme right Golden Dawn party in 2013, triggering a crackdown on the party, gather for a protest outside a court in Athens, Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2020.
As the verdict was announced, scuffles broke out in part of an anti-fascist rally attended by more than 15,000 people outside the courthouse. A small group threw projectiles while police responded with tear gas and use of a water cannon. Party leader Michaloliakos and 17 other former parliamentary members face at least 10 years in prison if convicted of charges of leading or participating in a criminal organization. Dozens of others on trial, party members and alleged associates, face convictions on charges that range from murder to perjury — most linked to a spate of violent attacks in 2013.
More than 10,000 people, including politicians from all political parties, gathered outside the courthouse. The crowd waved banners with slogans including “Fyssas lives, crush the Nazis,” and chanted “The people demand the Nazis in jail.” “Today the victims and society seek justice,” said center-left Kinal party leader Fofi Gennimata. “We are here because there is no room for fascism in our lives.”
The human rights group Amnesty International, which took part in and helped organize a network to record racist violence in Greece, said Wednesday’s verdict would boost the efforts of those trying to prosecute hate crimes.
Why is nobody writing about George Papadopoulos' links here considering the drink that started the Mueller investigation, his courting of Russia, etc.?
Holy shit, wow, that's how you stop fascism, parties that you try to take advantage of the freedoms of democracies to destroy them.
Wow now do these crazy far right groups in the u.s.a. ....
Took a while. But we got there in the end.
Aren't they all?
Ha ha just like American conservatives and Trumpkin Traitors. Amazing coincidence.
Typical for right wing politics
Oh no FraserNelson I can't believe your friends were a nazi criminal organization!
Wish our courts too reprimand against RSS-BJP - the extreme RW gangs.
That’s good, but Golden Dawn has been irrelevant since last parliamentarian elections when New Democracy took charge and subsequently Golden Dawn lost seats. This isn’t anything really to get all happy about. I just hope SYRIZA can reclaim leadership soon.
Cool! Now do the GOP!
Leftist on display 🤮🤮🤮
This is true of our gop in the US right now, too. Calling on the terrorist proud boys to stand by, funding the NRA with Russian rubles...
bondi_izzy Here too.
Gotta checks these rules against the party of trump.
pseudomorph Wasn’t the Golden Dawn one of the fictional terror groups mentioned by Hans Gruber in Die Hard?
Anything “far right” is nazi, I don’t care what country it is.
Time to rebrand as Mythic Dawn.
shaunking Why can’t courts in this country reach the same conclusion about the republican party
The irony of the people who claim to be 'anti- fascist' cheering a court banning political parties.
Gosh why does this issue sound so familiar...? 🤔 Check and see if Deutche Bank and Putin are involved
Feel like I've heard this name used in a fiction as well hmm
Hey guys. I knew this when Hans Gruber name checked them in Die Hard.
What a relief. For a second there I thought something happened to Goldie Hawn not Golden Dawn. TuesdayThoughts
As is true with most far-right organizations the world over.
Most of America wants to see this same eventuality with the Trump Regime
Finally!!
_ReaalAmerican_ The Greek version of the Proud Boys
Now do AntifaBLMDomesticTerrorists
PDoodlies
🙌
Greece is not a serious country
About fucking time!
Now can the Greek Court investigate UK Conservatives please?
wait does this mean there are places where when fascists murder people the organizations who radicalized and/or directed them are held accountable?
Huh. So a criminal organization masquerading as a right-wing political group can be held accountable. Has anyone told the NRA? Has anyone mentioned this to the Republican party? Or is this only possible in Greece, and not in America?
The press report is a bit vague, we’re the convicted people acting under the direct order of the Golden Dawn leadership or not? There is also a lot of references to Nazis. I assume this is the National Socialist German Workers Party
Now do G💩P...
Now do us
At least there are some countries’ leaders who are willing to call out their white supremacist organizations.
Sounds familiar
Joe Biden's Most Awkward Gaffes Of All Time
Great news.
JoeBiden KamalaHarris AOC PhilMurphyNJ Hopefully we can do this with white supremacists at home.
That’s what we need in this country. Some gutsy prosecutor that declares Trump’s administration a criminal organization.
Looks like, sounds like, the Republican party😑 Truth
I was there on the streets when the news came out, happiness, crying and determination to keep the fight against Fascism going.But just as the news came out the police treated us to tear gas and water cannon .It's not surprising after all 50% of them voted for the nazis last year
Far RW is transnational criminal organization IMO. The national far RW groups are all interconnected. Paper trail has shown this. That criminals want to 'govern' is not a new concept. See North Korea, PRC, Kremlin for details.
Now do here in US!!
Do the GOP next!
Hearing this in the news today made me so happy, they finally got what they deserved those bastards
Holy shit, finally.
👍
The U.S. should be watching very carefully. I’d love to see half our politicians in prison
'Far right' THEY ARE NAZIS. SAY NAZIS.
I wonder if Trump and the Republican Party with their pro-COVID policies are worried?
Greece has made the right decision. The Federal Constitutional Court in Germany, Bundesverfassungsgericht , should follow with a Afdverbot2020.
Same is happening here with the Republican Party & Fox News.
I read about them in Time magazine.
'Far-right':
What are they going to do, arrest themselves?
They mist have trained Trump an company.
Maybe it hasn't dawned on them that they are the lucky few to have employment
Damn... for a moment there I thought I'd woken up to no covid
In western democracies you can always count on courts to enforce “democracy” when people voting won’t.
Is this the Hermetic Order 'Golden Dawn' or something different just name appropriating?
So Greece is first again. The first to return to democracy, in this era of fascism.
They stole the idea from the British Conservatives
See, splcenter, it can be done. Please take the 1st step and designate the GOP a hate group. Thanks.
Democrats and Republicans should watch this closely.
No they are just an idea.
Fascist organisations need to be stamped on! In uncertain times their lies can fool gullible people & their methods are always violent.
Oh. There's is too?
BryceWeiner Awesome
vip_cyp What about Golden Dawn's Cyprus branch, ELAM?
Such a great development for all antifa and for Greece.
Asian dawn people not golden...
can they do Antifa fascists next ?
Just like the Republicans
the greek court.. and who funds it.. ?
Please can we invite the prosecutors to help us here in the USA?
Turkey should fight against its injust government now
Wait wasnt Golden Dawn mention in Die Hard? Was it a real thing back then?
Thank g-d. Now can they do Poland?
I THOUGHT ALL POLITICAL PARTIES DO A LITTLE ORGANIZED CRIME WHY THEY SOLICIT FOR DONATIONS & ASK TO VOTE FOR THEM SO THEY CAN TRY TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS, I THOUGHT WE WERE ENTITLED TO THEM. WHY YOU GOT TO PROTECT THEM? WHOS GOING TO TAKE THEM AWAY & HOW? CAN THEY DO THAT?
changes very little, but EU masters will expect results.
How good is that!!
Omg if Greece can do it- surely we can!
Far right anywhere are just a bunch of crooks and lawless people
Are they allowed to rule on the American Republican Party? Asking for 1/2 a nation.
Now start saying that about the banking industry
