Политическа партия "Златна зора"

The Greek Golden Dawn is a far-right political party in Greece, known for its extreme nationalist and controversial ideologies. Founded in the 1980s by Nikolaos Michaloliakos, the party's roots can be traced back to the broader European neo-Nazi movement,…   although its members often reject this label. Golden Dawn's values and political platform are built around the principles of nationalism, with a strong emphasis on preserving Greek identity, culture, and Orthodox Christian values. The party is staunchly anti-immigration, viewing the influx of migrants and refugees into Greece as a threat to the nation's sovereignty and cultural integrity.<br /><br />Golden Dawn's rhetoric and activities have often been characterized by xenophobia, racism, and the promotion of conspiracy theories about global elites undermining national states. The party has been accused of inciting and perpetrating violence against immigrants, political opponents, and ethnic minorities, leading to legal actions and widespread condemnation from both domestic and international observers.<br /><br />Despite its controversial stance and actions, Golden Dawn experienced a surge in popularity during Greece's financial crisis in the early 2010s, capitalizing on widespread dissatisfaction with the political establishment and economic hardship. They managed to secure parliamentary representation, highlighting the extent of political polarization and economic discontent in the country.<br /><br />However, the party's fortunes have waned following a series of legal challenges and a landmark trial that concluded in 2020. Leading members, including its founder Michaloliakos, were convicted of running a criminal organization under the guise of a political party, leading to their imprisonment. This legal action has significantly curtailed the party's activities and diminished its presence in Greek politics, although the ideologies it promoted continue to influence certain segments of the Greek political landscape and society.Прочетете още
