Golden Dawn

Golden Dawn is a far-right political party in Greece, founded in the early 1980s. It is known for its ultranationalist, anti-immigrant, and neo-Nazi ideologies. The party gained significant attention during Greece's economic crisis in the 2010s, attracting supporters with its strong rhetoric against immigrants and financial elites. Golden Dawn was implicated in violent attacks against immigrants and leftist activists, leading to investigations and trials against its members. In 2020, a court ruled that the party operated as a criminal organization, resulting in many leaders being imprisoned. Its activities have raised concerns about extremism and hate in contemporary politics.
