Is Golden Dawn now a sunset? I don't think so just yet, but without the oxygen of "good" propaganda, they start to shrivel and die. Since their cowardly and brutal murder of Pavlos Fyssas, that babbling brook of bullshit, the media, as well as politicians, have started to distance themselves from the fascist thugs. Demonstrations and protests have and are taking place across Greece with one idea in mind, to drive the Nazi scum of the streets. With determined confrontation by the people, I'm sure they will succeed in returning the scum to the sewer from where it came.
anti-fascist demonstrators protest murder of singer in port city of Thessaloniki
A week, as the saying goes, is a long time in politics and the last seven days have seen an apparent sea change in the Greek political scene with the once triumphant Golden Dawn now backed into a corner following the murder of singer by a man, allegedly belonging to the party.Hounded by political opponents, both on the streets and in parliament they have been forced onto the defensive. Even Greece's mainstream media which was till recently suggesting that the party could form an alliance with the ruling conservative New Democracy party has made a U-turn concerning their stance towards Golden Dawn.
The far right Proto Thema newspaper is a case in point, till recently reporters have been more than willing to welcome Golden Dawn MPs on their pages, with lifestyle pieces that glamourised them in much the same way the media glamourise sports or pop stars. Now that has all changed following the killing of Pavlos Fyssas in the port city of Piraeus and now the Sunday front pages and TV news broadcasts are full of condemnation of the party and the killing with daily revelations also alleging financial impropriety by party functionaries are also adding to their woes.
