It appears that the Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party in Greece have been convicted of murdering a left wing rapper back in 2013. The convictions are good news and this likely puts an end to the difficult years of economic troubles in Greece which enabled the extremism of the right to make a comeback. Golden Dawn never came close to taking the reigns of power in Greece, but for too long they were a power on the streets of Athens where they beat and terrorized immigrants and minorities.
The former government of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras showed a great deal of tolerance for Golden Dawn as their members terrorized migrants in Greece. It was only when the Neo-Nazis murdered an ethnic Greek that the Samaras government proceeded to crack down. The Samaras government’s tolerance for the Neo-Nazis demonstrated a lack of Christian morality and decency.
This party which was like the original Nazi Party of Germany based on ideas of racial purity, neo-paganism, anti-semitism, and the occult was thoroughly evil. This deceitful movement even tried to masquerade as the defenders of Greek Orthodoxy. Golden Dawn was linked with the black metal music scene based on pro satanic and anti Christian themes. In its own publications it demonstrated contempt for Christianity as did the original Nazi Party.
In Greece’s last national elections, the Neo-Nazis did not receive votes to enter Parliament. This was very good news and their convictions today are also good news. Their is a moral lesson here in that all extremist ideas and movements ranging from the extreme right to the extreme left should be condemned by good people.

Good riddance to extremes in Greek politics, the center is where the future is. Mitsotakis has done very well with his centrist-pragmatic approach.
Mitsotakis is doing a good job so far. With the economic recovery both Golden Dawn and Syriza have fallen away.
