Greece’s neo-nazi party has apparently a noble cause. Only to help people in need, “like the Hezbollah does in Lebanon”.

And they’re turning in increasing numbers to the far right Golden Dawn party, which lays the country’s troubles firmly at the feet of immigrants and Greek politicians, ” writes SBS reporter Evan Williams on the network website.
Video: SBS Dateline “Thug Politics” filmed on May 5th 2013, when Golden Dawn was distributing food packages before Easter.
