“Fascists have no place in Greek society”: KKE blasts attempt to bring neo-Nazis back into political life

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has condemned attempts to restore the political presence of the criminal neo-Nazi organization Golden Dawn through a new political formation linked to its convicted former leading member, Ilias Kasidiaris, who was recently released from prison.

On September 21, Kasidiaris announced his support for the "Alliance of Greeks", a party associated with former MPs of the far-right "Spartans" party. Shortly afterwards, independent MP Giorgos Manoussos declared in Parliament that he effectively represented the new formation, provoking an immediate reaction from KKE lawmakers.

 

Elon Musk and the Greek Neo-Nazi: When Capitalism breeds Fascism

By Nikos Mottas

When Elon Musk publicly intervened in defense of Greek neo-Nazi Ilias Kasidiaris, the significance went far beyond another provocative post by one of the world’s richest men. 

Kasidiaris was not an obscure dissident punished for an unpopular opinion. He was a leading figure and former spokesman of Golden Dawn, the Greek neo-Nazi organization whose leadership was convicted of operating as a criminal organization. 

Communist Party of Greece (KKE) strongly condemns release of Golden Dawn neo-Nazi Kasidiaris

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has strongly condemned the release from prison of Ilias Kasidiaris, a former leading member of the Nazi criminal organization Golden Dawn, describing the decision as a “provocation” against the organization’s victims, their families and the working people who fought for its conviction.

Kasidiaris’ release follows that of almost the entire former leadership of Golden Dawn, which was convicted in 2020 of operating as a criminal organization.
