Athens, Greece, 26 October 2013: Golden Dawn's rally is staged outside its offices in the
center of Athens, after riot police blocked a group of anti-fascist
demonstrators from marching on the building.
The podium is decorated with blue and white colors and the Greek flag
to emphasize the party’s nationalist credentials, instead of the red
flags with the black emblem, the swastika meander pattern, that usually
appear at the events until now.
Also surprisingly today Neo-nazi supporters have changed one word of
the main slogan of the party. Usually the main slogan of Golden Dawn is
"Blood, Honor, Golden Dawn". Today Golden Dawn supporters avoid to
shout the word "blood", while the blood of the anti-fascist raper Pavlos
Fyssas is still there on the pavement, who was stabbed to death by one
of their colleagues.
Instead of the word "blood", they use the word "fatherland", and they shout "Fatherland, honor, Golden Dawn".
