“None of the accused Nazis went to jail yet, no one was sentenced, including now accused killer of Pavlos Fyssas, Giorgos Rupakias, and leader of the Golden Dawn, Nikos Michaloliakos. The key question is: are days to the Greek Nazis counted? The answer is: we don’t know yet.

“The wet fantasies of 62-year-old founder and leader of Golden Dawn, Nikos Mihaloliakos and his family to build a Nazi project within Hellenic parliamentary democracy has definitely failed.”

“I am interested in what will happened with the the individuals who were accused of leading and organizing a criminal organisation: in what way will their political activities be limited? Will these individuals now cover up swastika, put on ties and continue to perform in the political space, such as e.g. does AfD in Germany? Undoubtedly, these are the trends of the New far-right right in Europe.”
