Greek youth are becoming more right wing as their financial crisis continues, they gather around the banner of the Golden Dawn (Nazi's) which have won some seats in parliament, Greeks are quite anti-foreigner, and anti-minority (They don't offically recognise other races in Greece), it's quite a racist country, more so than any other EU country, although their are some in Greece trying hard to control these influences

What that man did wasn't an accident

Eh.  Greece has a huge racism problem, but more then any other country feels like an exageration

What with Poland, Bolgaria and such.

Those other country's officially recognise their minorities at least, which gives them some hope for reform and improvement

Eh fair enough.   Greece is like France in that regard.

No, Greece goes even further by persecuting it's Minorities extensively, France is tolerant by comparison

Oh right... I forgot about the stupidity with the Albanians and the whole "how dare you call yourself Macedonians yur tryin to steal are land!"

 

Even though the stealing of land seems very unlikely in most places of the world, let alone europe.... and the fact that Macedonians weren't ever considered Greek hence why cotemporary sources listed Alexander the Great as "Half Macedonian- Half Greek" and his dad had to kick the ass out of half of Europe just to force themselves into the Olympic games.

I expect this to spread throughout europe as the financial situation worsen. On a smaller scale Spain too seem to be rekindling the flames of it's facists past.

Hard times lead the hard policies and hard policies lead to hardline governments (and citizens).

I don't think I would like to be an Albanian, or Macedonian in Greece, if you speak up your likely to get your brains bashed in, terrible place to live openly as an ethnic Minority by all accounts



I believe people have the right to show political allegiances freely. Even if others dislike that allegiance to a specific group.

Would he be punished if he had made a communist of capitalist gesture/salute ?

Yeah I think your right, it's history repeating it self, potentially all over Europe as this finacial crisis hits the youth the hardest (as in Gemany in the 1930's)

It's an allegiance of racists, it's something all countries are trying to educate people about, so no it's not productive or appropriate for our modern World to let racism florish

Learning from the past is something were not good at, but at least try



I hear the Roman Empire was full of Nazis.

Nazis came long after the Romans, I think you can google it

Racists exist with or without Nazis.
