Golden Dawn may have received approval from the Supreme Court to participate in the upcoming elections, however the neo-Nazi party is still facing fierce opposition in local communities across Greece.
The latest instant occurred on Sunday in Ierissos, where local residents did not allow the neo-Nazi party to present its candidates for the upcoming elections and the six Golden Dawn members were expelled from the town by a group of about 100 protesters.
Angry local residents argued that they cannot forget about how the neo-Nazi party actively offered support in Parliament to the company running controversial mining operations in the area around Ierissos, “when tear gas rained down a few months ago”.
