In Greece, we had a Nazi party, which managed to be the third most powerful (at its peak). These guys were bullying the whole country, murdered a bunch of people, you know, the usual. It is sad that the 15% of the Greek people supports them. I remember, there was a time when you were afraid to walk in downtown Athens, especially if you were woman or black. Oh, how beautiful is the world!

Oh, I remember them! They were mainly supported so much because there wasn't a major right-wing populist party to fill the political black hole occupied by them. Then Greek Solution was formed and took away much of their support, along with their increasing number of terrorism got the party to get under the 3% threshold (but barely). Then it was recently banned, because of it being so far-right.

I'm actually making up questions for my next magazine article which is about right wingers in Europe and a part of it is about those ex-True Finns members. I'm interviewing one research coordinator (Political science) from one Finnish uni. and one PhD Student at Department of Political and Social Sciences from from Italy Bologna. I knew a little bit about Golden Dawn before and had to check just 30 minutes ago a bit more stuff of them- Crazy stuff indeed. What I didn't know is that they got shot down and many of those members went to jail last year. NICE!

Finland is a mixed bag for me, given that on the one hand the fact that the Finns Party managed to get second place last election is worrying and undeserved, on the other hand they were actually in government and its nice that the Finnish left has retaken control. And I thought there already was a split from the Finns Party? Called the Blue Reform Party? Or is there gonna be another Neo-nazi split too?
