racist hate attack against Roma people community of Xanthi
May 10, 2013
According to reports of journalists in Xanthi and the state TV station ET3, residents of the city have invited a group of neonazis to attack the community of Roma people. The excuse was more or less the same like other regions of the country. The residents talk about a number of small-robberies in their area which is increased lately. The residents together with the nazis set the half of the Roma people tents on fire. The local police didn’t show up during the pogrom incident.

Also in Greece: According to the state media, two strawberry fields workers from Bangladesh in Nea Manolada went to request their salaries from their foreman last midnight. Both workers were beaten with a knife or other sharp object, one on the back and the other on the leg, and transferred to the health center (small hospital) of Varda. The foreman was arrested by the police: here.

There is so much evil all around us these days. Greed and racism will destroy our world.
Yes indeed, if we won’t do anything now. There should be measures aganst the Greek Golden Dawn nazis now that they are still (relatively) small. If the Golden Dawn’s French sister party, the National Front of Le Pen, would become the government in France, then that would mean fascists with nuclear weapons.

This is so upsetting! Thank you for speaking out.
I hope the blogosphere will help to stop this.
What is going on in Greece? I’m thinking this must be in response to the lack of jobs and the austerity program they are being forced to endure.
Yes, that is right. It also “helps” that the “moderate” Right government helps the nazis with police anti-immigrant witchhunts.
I’ve let everyone know I just discovered this reply to comment feature on the blog.
I guess what I don’t understand is why the Nazi’s. There has always been an anti-Semitic sentiment in Europe. Is there a resurgence?
There is resurgence of anti-Semitism, especially in Greece and Hungary. It runs parallel to hatred of Muslim and other immigrants.
Why? What is gained by this hatred? Isn’t Germany, as the most stable economy in Europe, basically calling for austerity? Why blame the Jews and Muslims?
Indeed, it is completely wrong to blame Jews, or Muslims (or Bulgarians, or Roma, or communists, or anarchists, etc. etc.) for the harsh austerity measures, imposed by the “troika” in which the German Merkel government plays a major role. These measures are what US President Bush senior used to call “voodoo economics”, totally counterproductive. They cause much misery for poor unemployed Greeks, poor Greek workers; and also for small businesspeople (a major constituency for the Golden Dawn nazis, along with armed forces and police).
For Golden Dawn Greek nazis, it would be a bit awkward to blame the German government. As, according to them, Hitler’s German Reich should have won the second world war. So, they blame Jews, Muslims, other immigrants, etc. etc. instead.
There is a resurgence of neo-nazi groups in America as well since the election of the first black president and our own economic downturn. It’s just baffling to me that people would take their ire out on each other rather than put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the psychopaths in the boardrooms and on wall street who crashed the world economy.
Yes indeed, that reaction is wrong. One should not forget here the power of Wall Street etc. in the corporate media, to explain that kind of reaction.
