Tens of thousands of neo-Nazis rallied in Athens in support of Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party, in the movement's largest demonstration of support since its rise to power in last Junes general election.
Men dressed in military uniforms, holding torches, donning swastikas and chanting anti-immigrant slogans, marched through central Athens in what was reportedly a memorial event paying tribute to the partys fallen soldiers, The International Business Times reported.
"This is a day of remembrance. It's a day to remember that Golden Dawn is here to stay. And so long as it does, there will be hope for the country," Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kassidiaris told supporters.
Hundreds of riot police and security officials were deployed to the scene of the march, which took place near the prime minister's office and the Turkish embassy in Athens, according to The Times.
The party, which has become notorious for its blatant anti-Semitic and xenophobic rhetoric and has been responsible for perpetrating attacks on Jews and foreigners, has begun spreading its anti-immigration message in schools and youth clubs, as well as through online social media networks, according to recent reports in the international press.

Where is an asteroid when you need it?
"I hate Athens Nazis."
Various movements are heading toward a clash. Islam, Nazism, EuroSocialism.
They do have one common theme: they want the Jews out or dead. Fun times ahead.
We have been here before!
You say it can't happen here?
Socialists are Socialists first.
They’re almost as bad as Illinois Nazis.
Yep. And the whole “hate the rich” or “bankers” meme is another word for “Jew”.
People who don’t think there can be a return of fascist Europe are so deluded!
Who was it that said that it will be the skin heads who will save Europe? I guess its a question of which extreme will be acceptable? A Caliph or a Fascist State? And when it gets down to that, who will take all those who are going to be expelled? Hmmmmmm? History continues to repeat.
Damn, you beat me to it again!
I have to agree with them on the anti-immigration stand though. There are more than 24 million Americans who are unemployed and before we let in more of these foreign leeches who will vote Dumocrap anyways, let’s take care of our own first.
Greek partisans kicked Nazi butt during WWII, what an insult to their memory.
Any number of WWII documentaries showing Nazi gatherings. Chilling is the perfect word.
I say, take them bowling.
Scratch every Nazi and you’ll find a progressive underneath.
Not to worry! John F-N Kerry is taking the reigns at State just in time, dann alles in Ordnung kommt.
Don’t give them even that opening. There may be individual issues, that on the surface, seem to be in agreement but when you get down to the reasoning and meaning behind it, they are 180 degrees opposite of Conservative values. It is like firearm ownership. They probably are all for it, for themselves, but their reasoning is in no way a resemblance to our belief on the matter.
Thought it was the other way around :)
