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.”

    • @hillbilleeboy Great Britain is 95 percent white, non-muslim. Sorry to dissappoint you there.
      Its pretty lame to attack my country merely because point out the obvious in Greece

      Its even more tragic considering a. your muslim population is larger and growing at a higher rate than ours, and b. you literally have millions and millions of immigrants entering, and more black/hispanic babies are being born than white. In other words people like you will be a minority very soon

      You also clearly no a More..

  • least they check papers first rather than just attacking brown people. rough, but pay taxes and be legit and you dont have a problem.

  • I see nothing wrong. If these individuals are the Indigenous People of Greece and their Greek culture, then they have legitimacy to protect their MOTHER LAND and culture, natural resources, and to kick out all foreigners and those who are there as "illegal"! Violence is ok esp., if words don't work.

  • Figures . Instead of protesting the economic system , or going after the Greek leadership , the fascist bully boys go after some poor slob trying to make a living . That is why , even with its' slogans against capitalism , neo fascism serves the objective interests of the exploiting class .
