Tensions rise in Greece as Far Right groups attack illegal immigrant businesses

Footage posted on the party’s official website from the day shows about 40 Golden Dawn supporters, clad in black t-shirts and with many carrying Greek flags, requesting that migrant vendors outside the Panaghia Pantovasilissa Church show them their residence permits. In the same footage a group of people is seen violently pulling apart one of the stalls and smashing the merchandise.

Different footage posted on the website showed a so-called Golden Dawn “unit,” led by MP
Costas Barbarousis, carrying out a similar raid in Messolonghi, western Greece, destroying three market stalls.

Meanwhile, the party vowed to continue raids targeting migrant street traders without permits. A statement posted on the Golden Dawn website said raids would continue across the country, until authorities “decide to do their job and stop encouraging illegality.”
