Far-right Greek party Golden Dawn has taken to the streets of Athens, handing out food to Greeks coping with a worsening crisis. The event had a distinct nationalist odor, as people had to prove their citizenship in order to receive goods.

­Hundreds lined up outside Parliament, where the extreme-right activists were giving away potatoes, pasta, milk and olive oil.

According to a Golden Dawn spokesperson, all the products were produced or distributed by local businesses.

To obtain food packages, those in line had to present their ID card to validate their citizenship. 

The ultra-nationalist Golden Down, which many say is neo-Nazi, is notorious for constant assaults on immigrants.

Last month the party threatened to remove immigrants and their children from hospitals and kindergartens.

Another scandalous move by the party was their proposition that only Greeks be permitted to donate blood to their fellow nationals.

In mid-July, the Greek Human Rights Watch rang an alarm, saying migrants were being attacked all over the country. Although there was no direct evidence of Golden Dawn's connection to those attacks, Human Rights Watch said some facts suggest that the extremist party was involved in the violence.

Anti-immigrant sentiment in Greece is largely fueled by the economic crisis battering the country. Greece has always been a gateway for immigrants coming from Asia and Africa to Europe in large numbers.

Golden Dawn successfully campaigned on spreading anti-immigrant sentiment. Public support for the party has dramatically increased, twenty-fold, since elections in 2009. This May, Golden Dawn gained 7 per cent of the vote at the parliamentary elections, managing to pass the threshold for the first time.

“They are exploiting people’s misery to fish for votes. They are despicable,” commented Petros Constantinou, a left-wing Athens city councilman.

If you want actual news on Golden dawn, their offical international newsroom is.
http://golden -dawn-international- newsroom.blogspot.se /

With regard to Golden Dawn, they are of course not “nazists”, both in the sense that their ideology is nothing like nazism and also in the sense that they actively rejected the label “nazi”/”fascis t”, altough by now, 2012 it is probably painfully obvious to most quasi-informed people that labels such as “nazi”, “fascist”, “racist”, “xenophobe” are put on any white organisation that wants to look out for the ethnic interests of their own group. People of European descent that like Golden dawn for example feeding starving own starving people is simply not accepted in a multicultural society. That is “nazism.”

For those that actually take the multicultural media serious, I can inform you that nothing or 99% of what the mainstream mulicultural media reports about Golden dawn or any other anti-multiculti organisation, and society in general is accurate. If anti-multiculti parties got into power, these rats would have no job anymore.

So white people are nazist for feeding their own people? Ok, well, George Soros, the jewish internationalist billionare has started a program to feed immigrants, ONLY. Will he be called a nazi for feeding only brown people? Of course not, showing how blatantly anti-white multiculti media is.

To answer Recardo's comment above.
I visited Greese recently, and was surprised to see Africans selling merchandises in the streets.  It was very obvious that all these people were illegals, who were basically taking jobs away from the natives.
Poor people from poor failed countries should be able to seek better life in other nations, except: they must go, and be accepted LEGALLY, and they must respect the laws of the host country, and assimilate in that culture as quickly as possible.
It is very important that European "Christian" nations unite in opposition of fanatic Islam. Having the CIA messing around with elections in Russia, and Georgia , and create animosity between civilized nations? We should. Keep focusing on our common enemies, the barbarians militant Islamists.
