For a couple of years now Golden Dawn, the Greek fascist party, has been beating up anybody who didn't look "Greek". Immigrants came in for some of the most brutal treatment, it was a very dangerous thing to walk the streets in the cities of Greece if you were an immigrant, you could be taking your life in your hands. The tide seems to have turned against the fascists after the murder in the street of singer, Pavlos Fyssas, by members of their Golden Dawn Group. The state, having talked of a possible coalition with the fascist party, has now turned against them. It is not only the state that wants to hit out at the Golden Dawn thugs, it seems that there are people who will not forget or forgive.
According to mainstream media reports, two Golden Dawn members have been shot outside GD’s local office in the neighbourhood of Neo Iraklio, a northern suburb of Athens. Another one member is injured and hospitalised. The three were shot by two men on a motorbike that drove past the building. GD members are gathering at the spot.
