As the 'new' alternative political party - "We Can" - surges to the lead in polls in Spain [7], it appears extreme parties from around Europe are taking note. As KeepTalkingGreece reports [8], the Spanish branch of the neo-fascist Golden Dawn party has been officially registered as a political party in Spain. Between Catalan secession, record youth unemployment, and government corruption, throwing some right-wing extremists into the mix should 'help'.
Spanish branch of the neo-fascist Golden Dawn party has been officially registered as a political party in Spain, the Euronews reports on Wednesday. The Spanish version of neo-nazi Golden Dawn is called “Amanecer Dorado”.
The country’s Interior Ministry registered the Valencia-based Amanecer Dorado on October 27, Euronews said quoting local media.
Amanecer Dorado, which is the Spanish for Golden Dawn, is reportedly led by Antonio Vicedo Valdes, a former member of the far-right National Alliance.
The party is now eligible to run in local or national elections, the report said.

According to some reports, some 2,000 Spaniards had demonstrated in Spain in solidarity with Golden Dawn in February 2014.

I suppose the Spaniards’ protest was aiming to display solidarity with their Greek ideology-cousins and GD MPs – GD chief Nikos Michaloliakos included – who were taken in pretrial custody with charges of forming a criminal organization after the murder of rapper Pavlos Fyssas in September 2013..

So French youth are revolting, Bulagria's poor are self-immolating, and now Spain has a neo-Nazi party... sounds like 'recovery' to us.

As Mike Krieger concluded previously [7]:
On a more serious note, Americans need to understand that Spain is merely a few years ahead of us. The question isn’t whether the status quo will be overthrown, the question is what will replace it. Something better, or something worse? Our key mission must be to ensure we get a better system after this one blows up, not something even worse.
Watch Spain closely in the months ahead. It will be another canary in the coal mine for the entire Western world.
