They just beat up and kill immigrants. The only reason they exist is because stupid 18 years olds and old people voted them. Many people don't like the immigrants because they're illegal there, take all the jobs (Gas stations and supermarkets).

The right wingers explictly said if someone sees a dark skinned person walking in the streets to call them and they will solve the "problem". The right wingers are the mirror of Greek frustration and they are omnipresnt in today's Greek society. An olympic athlete was banned for life from the Olympics because she had a very insulting remark towards Africans.

I saw that about the female athlete, to be honest, that was a stupid and hurtful joke that she made on twitter.
If I remember, the joke went like this (Not exact translation from Greek)
"With so many black people at the Neil river, the mosquitoes will have food for ages"

I can't get mad at comments like that because they're plainly stupid so I just disregard that. But xenophobe physical violence and laws are what I keep an eye on.
