Greek Neo-Nazi Party Trial Begins On Hitler's Birthday; Supporters Attack Witnesses
Submitted by KeepTalkingGreece,
In a special built courtroom and under draconian security measures, one of Greece’s most important political trials against current and former MPs and members of neo-nazi Golden Dawn started on Monday morning. Party leader Nikos Michaloliakos and 68 other defenders stand trial on felony charges for having established a criminal organization, having committed several racists attacks and murder and the procession of weapons.
The trial takes place in a special courtroom built inside high security prison Korydallos in western Athens, with several antifascists groups and GD supporters to have gathered outside the prison. In addition, groups of local authorities, traders and parents organizations had gathered to protest the trial in their suburb, claiming ‘disturbance of the every day life’.
The trial began short after 9 o’ clock Monday morning in a courtroom packed with people many of them without a sitting opportunity.
25 of the main defenders, including GD leader Michaloliakos and 14 former and current MPs, being absent and represented by their lawyers. The defenders deny charges claiming that the trial was “politically motivated.”
The indictment is in fact against 70 defenders, however one of them has recently passed away, while a second one is a minor.
131 witnesses have been called to testify.
Murdered Pavlos Fyssas
Present are also the parents of Pavlos Fyssas, the 34-year-old leftist rapper who was stabbed to death by GD member Giorgos Roupakias on 17 September 2013. Roupakias had claimed that he was never a registered member of GD.
It was Fyssas’ murder that forced Samaras’ government to take measures against the political party, put its leadership in custody and significantly reduce racist attacks against migrants.
Trial adjourned until May 7th
More than 1,000 pages nicely packed in dozens of files are been unloaded and awaiting for the trial on the pavement. “If we call Greece a Banana Republic, we do injustice to bananas,” a Twitter user commented.
Two hours later the trial was interrupted and it is adjourned until May 7th 2015 for “procedural reasons.” One of the defenders appeared in the trial without a lawyer, the court had to appoint one and he on his turn needed time to read the indictment. Some wonder whether it was a tactical move by the GD in order to adjourn the trial.
Witness and antifa protester attacked by GD supporters
Outside Korydallos prison, the atmosphere is tense between GD supporters and antifascists groups.
According to media, antifa groups the deputy major of Korydallos and hospital doctors, two people were slightly injured outside Korydallos prison by Golden Dawn supporters and were transferred to the hospital. Both have face and head injuries. The man is a witness to testify for the murder of his friend, Pavlos Fyssas. The woman is an antifa protester.
There are also reports that a lawmaker from To Potami was attacked by a group of people wearing hoods as he was walking to the court. Anti-authoritarians have reportedly beat a GD supporter.
Golden Dawn remains strong
Golden Dawn, a marginal far-right party of 0.1% – 0.3% in elections, catapulted to 7% in 2012 and became 5th in the Greek Parliament with its anti-austerity and anti-migrants policies. The provocative behavior of GD MPs in and outside the Parliament, their openly spoken insults and bullying attitude towards the Greek political system had secured them loyal voters amid the most severe economic crisis that had hit Greece.
In October 2013, 16 Golden Dawn MPs, including the party leader, were taken one after the other into custody. They were released in March 2015, after they had spent 18 months in custody without trial.
Despite the fact that the majority of its MPs were in custody during January 2015 elections, Golden Dawn remained strong even though it has suffered some losses. It was again third party with 6.3% and elected 17 MPs to the Greek Parliament.
GD leader Nikos Michaloliakos
The trial against the party of Golden Dawn is considered as one of the biggest political trials in Greece after restoration of democracy in 1974.
Defenders, lawyers, witnesses, journalists, representative of unions, a total of 1,000 people are been squeezed in the courtroom which is too small for a trial of such level. Some attendees had been standing during the two-hour session. The issue of the courtroom may be taken up on May 7th.
The trial is expected to last several months.
Some considered that justice had attempted to make a joke with Golden Dawn by setting the beginning of the trial on April 20th, the day the neo-nazis commemorate Hitler’s birthday.

That country is so fucked on so many different levels.
Happy Late Birthday, I guess...
...Greek Court update... Uilizing the Monty Python defense, all the defendants, save one, have changed their first names to Adolph, the non Adolph renamed himself "dead parrot".
What about the Monty Python Prosecution and Judges? Seventy defendants in one trial for a guy who was stabbed? How the fuck did they ever identify the body?
How is an individual defendant to ever receive a fair and impartial judgement of the specific charges against that individual when the evidence against almost 70 others is being weighed simultaneously by the same judge(s)?
I thought Europeans were sophisticated enough to see the folly in collective punishment.
If not, what's to stop a power from profitably and collectively punishing 6,000,000 for the easily demonstrable crimes a few?
Collective punishment is never Right.
Apparently the trial is a political persecution more than anything else. It seems that some sort of collective responsibility approach has been used.
Political persecution, collective political persecution, demonizing of the political opposition etc..
This is more preemptive attacks against the only political group that has the average Greek's interests at heart. It is no accident that the trial begins on Hitlers birthday, it is well planned and intended to make associations. Even the articles declares GD as neonazis which shows how well the propoganda has been planted: But the article also does not hide that it is all political:
"one of Greece’s most important political trials against current and former MPs and members of neo-nazi Golden Dawn"
The current Greek govt serves not the Greeks but the bankers and jmafia. The jmafia owns the new "rebel" govt who are so daring as to not wear a tie or leave a shirt tale untucked. They also timed this well to distract from their attempts/demands that local bank deposits be collected in preparation to be delivered to the jmafia.
Interestingly enough, Adolph also was tried and convicted for attempting to overthrow the Govt. (Later, after being Legally elected to office, he was given Carte Blanche by the Reichstag, which led to...)
Apparently Greece isn't fucked up enough yet.....
The parasite and degenerate Greece and its people must root in Hell.
Welcome to Stalin Show Trials in EU. Welcome to the New Democracy!
Hitler's birthday on 4/20. Now that's a fucking buzzkill.
Why? They had air conditioning by then.
What restoration of democracy?
And what will your opinion be on the USA when retaliations happen from main street against the ELITE? Those who caused and profited from misfortures of the MANY.
Many are armed and the Government is preparing for the Malstrom.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Malstrom
Shame they're Greek nazis and not Ukrainian nazis. Not only would the US taxpayer bail them out, they would get weapons too.
USA has had a year or so to place agents and agencies in Greece to Recruit, Enlist, and compromise new Assets within Greece.
These guy may get no help, but USA has been in Greece since 1947.
Bingo.
Sounds exactly like the Occupying Force of the Former United States of Amerika.
USA has been in Greece since 1947.
USA has been in almost every country since 1947, some of them more than once.
Fixed it for you.
US has been throughout Western Europe since 1947. Do you think that after 50 years of cold war and continued US military presence the US has not spread its tentacles inside every major institution of every European country? Greece is no different.
The US is firmly opposed to the Greek Nazis and firmly in favor of the Uke Nazis. Head explode yet?
You people are fucked up. Let me explain:
- German Nazi were Germans. From Zionist point of view, it is terrible.
- Greek NAZI are Greek. From Zionist point of view, it is very bad.
- Ukrainian Nazi are Jewish oligarhs. From Zionist point of view, it is very good.
- Israeli Nazi are Jewish. From Zionist point of view, it is just excellent.
Got it?
Greece: The tiny, TINY, little country who's economy depends on people from other countries visiting, spending their money. That and sex with medium sized farm animals. Let them vote for politicians who won't screw them over by spending the country into default like they have four times in the past 100 years. Let them put on their big boy pants and manage their country like adults for once. No more loans. Make it on your own.
Same for the U.S. except the U.S. is not tiny...
The real trick is that you can't manage your finances in the current monetary arrangement.
It is the deception which enslaves.
True. That's why they should default and get out of the E.U./Euro. They will then have a clean slate. No more loans. Let them make it on their own. If their government continues to hand out lavish welfare benefits, spending their country into oblivion, they'll collapse again and again, impacting nobody but themselves. At least until they invade Russia for fun and profit, hoping to get rebuild cash.
They will not be allowed to exit the EU and the Eurozone, no matter what they do. The EU will turn the place into a second Ukraine or Syria if they have to. As for the US, they want to net as many countries with the Transatlandic Treaty as possible, so the US will be on the EU side on this one. They will keep Greece inside, isolated but inside the EU at gun point if they have to.
Hmm, the old "Mouse that Roared" ploy... :>D
With a track record like that anyone who loans them money at all deserves what they get. Let them go to the market and hawk their shitty paper if they want. The real trouble is that people are starting to figure it out, so now the abomination of abominations is happening - Central banks loaning to Govts through QE. Nice of money authorities to waterboard the shit out of my ravaged savings to prop up the unsustainable. How much of the recent aid package to Ukraine was Greece's portion? Madness.
That's what Fascists will do to you. The Greeks themselves haven't spent their way into default. They've had a low-productivity, not-very-exciting economy since before the Romans invaded and they've been just fine. The current never-ending crisis has nothing to do with spending. The former regime pandered to the ambitions of the Greek Elites and joined the Euro, which was widely seen as a bad move. To get in under Maastricht, they hired Goldman Sachs to construct a web of derivatives to fudge the books. When one little thing went wrong (OK, the collapse of 2007-08, so it wasn't a little thing), the derivatives web turned into a noose. The average Greek never got any largesse; they just got the same sharp rise in prices that came with the Euro as all the other similar economies in Portugal, Spain, Italy, etc. The Elites got to pay for their foreign properties in Euros, which was what they wanted in the first place. But the meme that it was irresponsible lazy Greeks spending loan money on luxuries is a lie.
Before that, the Greeks had a weak economy with lots of tax evasion and low-level corruption because they had a Fascist dictatorship. The Fascist Generals made a deal with the middle and upper classes, that if they kept their mouths shut and let the Elites loot the country, in return tax evasion would be overlooked, pensions would be generous, and various forms of corruption would be tolerated. This is the norm with Fascists. When the middle class finally realized they were getting pennies while being looted, they stopped tolerating the Fascists, and that was the end of that.
The loans are merely the attempts of the co-conspirators in the decades of looting, and the Goldman Sachs debacle, trying to get their stake back. Greece should default, leave the Euro, and fend for themselves. They're never going to have a dynamo economy that attracts all kinds of sexy investment, but in today's world, you shouldn't want that anyway.
Ahem...ZH...
Golden Dawn are not Nazis. They are Greek patriots.
If they were actual Nazis, like the muscle of the Kiev junta, they'd be in government, not prison.
Not AshkeNAZIs?
I'll grant you they are nazis with an identity crisis. First they used Nazi symbols, then they clamed the symbols were Ancient Greek ones, then they believed their lies. They are known to be involved in all manner of criminal activity. Their only hope of coming to power would be if the US or EU supports them in staging a coup as in Ukraine. Then we will see how patriotic they are.
Hitler warned us what Jews would do to America.
Nazis, Zios, UK Right Wing and US Right Wing joined forces in 1944.
National Socialist German Workers' Party - Nazi. Sorry but Nazis were far left wing. They had to use force to enforce their "better way." Much like Dear Leader Obama, et al.
Hitler was an evil bastard, but he was right.
You cannot support his wholesale murders, but the Zionist is the Root of all Evil.
Zionism is Racism.
A great day of celebration for several ZH regulars.
The holohoax ziomongers rejoice on this special day!
They're not the only ones.
click, click, bubble bubble bubble, cough.
Pure political persecution and an ethno-Bolshevik Oligarch show trial to stop the rapid ascent of the Golden Dawn, who actually care about the future of Greece and the Greek people, not the welfare of the ethno-banksters and their third world population invasion/displacement agenda.

Let me guess...all ex cops and other assorted civil servants.
With "some pretty boy at the helm"
Communists putting Nazis on trial. That can't end well.
“If we call Greece a Banana Republic, we do injustice to bananas,” a Twitter commented.
Indeed.
Gen Patton realized too late, and when his observations came to light the Jews killed him. “The virus started by Morgenthau and Baruch against all Germans is semitic revenge. Now I’m being ordered to remove German civilians from their homes for the purpose of housing Displaced Persons.
It appears that this order is to punish the German race and not individual Germans. It’s against my Anglo-Saxon conscience to remove a person from his house without due process of the law.
Those issuing these orders believe that the Displaced Person is a human being, which he is not. This applies particularly to the Jews, who are lost to all decency, relieving themselves on the floors, showing themselves to be lower than animals.”
Well it is tough for an animal to constantly pick his nose.
People like Jonesy are here as plants to discredit this web-page. The bankers will stoop at nothing to smear anyone who's onto their CNTRL-P fiat- money scheme.
What is so upsetting is that all those lefties like to claim that NAZIS are bad. All NAZI stands for is nationalist, that is standing up for your Country and socialist ist taking care of the People that need help. That is what I believe in and that would then make me a NAZI too.
that's racist and spiteful
Or is it that he just likes to piss on his cousins face to attain any type of sexual gratification and is looking for acceptance through hitler worship?
One week two days and here we go again. Who has been sending all of you people over here lately?
NAZIs are fascists. We have enough fascism already. What we need is to give capitalism a try, and stop propping up banks on the backs of the middle class.
HATE FACT.
“Good War . . . Better Peace”Thomas Goodrich
"To help celebrate the upcoming 70th Anniversary of the end of the “Good War” and the beginning of the “Good Peace,” I offer the following from my books, Hellstorm—The Death of Nazi Germany, 1944–1947, and Rape Hate—Sex & Violence in War & Peace.
And so, with the once mighty German Army now disarmed and enslaved in May, 1945, and with their leaders either dead or awaiting trial for so-called “war crimes,” the old men, women and children who remained in the dismembered Reich found themselves utterly at the mercy of the victors. Unfortunately for these survivors, never in the history of the world was mercy in shorter supply.
Soon after the Allied victory in Europe, the purge of Nazi Party members from government, business, industry, science, education, and all other walks of German life commenced. While a surprising number of Nazis were allowed—even compelled—to man their posts temporarily to enable a smooth transition, all party members, high and low, were sooner or later excised from German daily life. In theory, “de-Nazification” was a simple transplanting of Nazi officials with those of democratic, socialist or communist underpinnings. In practice, the purge became little more than a cloak for an orgy of rape, torture and death.
Because their knowledge of the language and culture was superb, most of the intelligence officers accompanying US and British forces into the Reich were Jewish refugees who had fled Germany in the late 1930s. Although their American and English “aides” were hardly better, the fact that many of these “39ers” became interrogators, examiners and screeners, with old scores to settle, insured that Nazis— or any German, for that matter—would be shown no mercy. . . ."

I read the reviews of that book on Amazon and it shook me for days.
That is some fucked up shit.
pods
Read that book and I wasn't the better of it. The real holocaust of WW II was of the German people. Not surprising given there was a formal, detailed and costed plan, ethusiastically adopted by Roosevelt, to literally exterminate them and turn their country into plantation. It was aborted only after a public outcry in America when the Secretary of War (Stimson) leaked the details.

so much of history as taught is horseshit.
But TPTB can't have well doc'd alt history out there.
The internet will be scrubbed, sooner or later, for "hat espeech" -to include discussion of facts such as Israeli war crimes, or similarities between Nazi state fascism and Zionist state racial colonialism.
I think they greatly under-estimate the Russians, and the Orthodox Christians as a group.
Down voters - 2 so far - are you denying the existance of the Morgenthau Plan? Or are you saying we shouldn't raise such a delicate subject?
Jest askin'
Just ordered Hellstorm on Amazon.
You might regret reading it. It truly is stomach-churning.
Well. Loose ends don't tie themselves up.
I will note that only in west Germany was systematic de-Nazification thought expedient. In the Soviet zone, all was forgiven at all but the highest levels. On the contrary, there were more former Nazis in the Socialist Unity Party than in the National Democratic Party of Germany, the bogus non-communist party designed to appeal to those former NSDAP supporters whose loyalty was still suspect enough that they were not useful to the SED. Hitler Youth, of course, became Free German Youth, with only the uniforms changed. And, of course, Israel never saw a thin pfennig in reparations from the GDR.
In a real sense, Nazism faked its own death.
"after restoration of democracy in 1974"...a joke? Not sure how you can be in the EU and a democracy.
Also puzzled about neo-naz, anti-austerity and far-right. Maybe lost in translation?
English, the language is now as corrupt as our monetary system.
4-20, dude. pass the dube.
Nürnberg 2.0? Will they crush the defendants Testicles and threaten their families like they did back then, to "convince" them to admit guilt?
Will they the found guilty of murdering 6 Million Butterflies? possibly by emiting toxic fumes errr gasses?
And convicted on laws that were not in place when the so-called offences took place.
The "third party" that undermined the mainstream government's power is being criminally prosecuted by the same mainstream government? What an amazing coincidence...
Fuck those tiny dick fascist butt-humpers; what's the point of being 'nationalist' if you're for a nation full of stupid assholes only?
This. Well said.
Pinch me so I know I'm not dreaming.
Hitler's birthday, this stupid trial, and the Boston marathon all on the day after Patriots Day?
Yes, I still celebrate the 19th.
Nazional Sozialistischen Griechen Arbeiters Partei .... NASGAP ... National Socialist Greek Workers Party
Stalin and Hitler .... two socialist titans .... each with their own variant of socialism .... fighting for control of Europe .... and the world !
Hundreds of Hungry Hordes historically invade western Europe and China .... twice western Europe retaliated .... Napoleon and Hitler .... China built a wall in hilly terrain .... Muslims invade ME and Europe repeatedly for 1000 years .... hundreds of "Crescentades" .... Europe retaliates with a few Crusades !
Any party that supports its nation's interests against those of the globalists is labelled neo-Nazi. The trope has been over-used and is thus losing its ability to intimidate.
Nazi's doing what they do best. You should be able to kill anyone sporting a swastika or that stupid salute. Open season as it were. Everyone has some ideology they hate, Nazi's are mine. It was good enough for my dad and it's good enough for me.
You should be able to kill anyone who would kill anyone merely for saying something they don't like.
Did I hurt your feeling.
Bigots doing what they do best.
The Nazis fought against the bankers... and lost. Then the bankers wrote history to make you hate the Nazis.
oow, a Nazi lover. What a moron.
Golden Dawn is very similar to Netanyahu's Likud party.
I dont know much about GD, you'll understand that I dont accept what the NY Times might say, but I'll venture to guess that what theyre really on trial is resisting the banks, and resisting the tide of immigration that the tribe, and nwo types, are intent on flooding Euro countries with, even, tellingly, during times of dire financial straits.
When you hear 'al qaeda' its always good to ask if its just the native people resisting an imposed puppet government. and while i reject racialism, and racism, and hard nationalism and statism - GD is so maligned they must be, largely, looking out for the Greek people.
We live in a world where The US and Israel commit massive war crimes, mostly unreported, every aggression Orwellized, and the MSM is corporate owned, zionist managed and CIA (and Mossad) 'minded'.
Remember during the next war that its always the wrong people that get killed.
Actually, Golden Dawn are what Likud ought to be like and what Kach actually were---which is why Kach was banned as well.
Kahane tzedek, Kahane chai.
ANTIFA ...
