From WIKI:
The party ran a campaign during the Greek national elections of 2012 based on concerns for unemployment, austerity and the economy, as well as virulent anti-immigration rhetoric, which gained a large increase in support from the Greek electorate.
In May 2012, the BBC reported on how Golden Dawn had become sort of a local ‘Robin Hood’ in some high-immigration areas of Athens,[54] since the party was developing a social program which included the delivery of free or minimal cost food among the most unfavored strata of ethnic Greeks.[55][56] The party offers protection for victims of crime, a service that has been appreciated by citizens and utilized by the police, which refers Athenians to the Golden Dawn for help, especially when immigrant crime is involved. The party, however, demands allegiance in return for their service.[57]
