A former neo-Nazi leader left prison in Greece and announced the creation of a new nationalist party in the country. The individual, who was a prominent former figure of Golden Dawn, served a prison sentence that included a conviction for homicide committed in 2013.
The former member of Golden Dawn served as the party's spokesperson between 2012 and 2019, a period during which he also served as a member of parliament. During that time, the neo-Nazi party had significant representation in the Greek parliament.
His release occurs in a sensitive political context in Greece, where nationalist parties have been gaining strength in recent years. The commitment to form a new nationalist party could represent a reorganization of the extremist movement in the country.
Greek authorities are closely monitoring these developments, considering the individual's criminal history and conviction for homicide. The creation of a new party will depend on the legal conditions established by Greek legislation for the formation of political parties.
