Greece: Neo-Nazi "Golden Dawn" Members Voice Support for Donald Trump
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Greece, members of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party held a torchlight
parade in Athens on Saturday, calling for a ban on migrants entering
Greece. Among those marching was member of Parliament Ilias
Panagiotaros, who praised President Donald Trump's ban on Muslim
refugees and immigrants.

Ilias Panagiotaros: "We just see tens of thousands of illegal immigrants
in our country and hundreds, thousands others that have already come to
Greece years ago, and our country is an open field. Everyone can come
whenever they want, and they can leave whenever they want. We would like
to follow a policy like Donald Trump is doing in the States right now."

Golden Dawn is the third-largest party in the Greek Parliament. Its
members have been arrested for assaulting and murdering immigrants and
political opponents, and the group's emblem is a red-and-black flag
resembling a swastika. In October, the party endorsed Donald Trump in
the U.S. election.
