Thousands took to the streets in Greece against fascism on October 7th, as a court declared the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party a criminal organization. The Supreme Civil and Criminal Court in Athens convicted 68 leaders and members of the Golden Dawn Party in a variety of cases. Golden Dawn supporters Georgios Rupakias was found guilty of murdering a musician, Pavlos Fissas and 15 others were convicted of conspiracy in the case. Five Golden Dawn members were convicted of the attempted murders of migrant fishermen and four for the attempted murder of communist activists. 34-year-old Pavlos Fissas was murdered by Georgios Rupakias on September 18, 2013 at Karatsini. Golden Dawn's leadership including its former MPs and carders were widely recognized to be complicit in Fissas' murder. They were also accused of directing a criminal fascist organization whose members committed a series of crimes ranging from illegal possession of arms and perjury to violent attacks against refugees, workers and political opponents. Following the verdict, there was widespread celebration even as protesters honored the memory of Fissas and other victims of Golden Dawn's violence. Thousands of communist, anti-fascist workers and students organized rallies in other cities and towns including Thisaloniki. Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Greece Dimitris Kutsumbas stated, this sentence must be accompanied by the exemplary punishment of the guilty which is in position of maximum sentences and of course be taken to prison. Earlier this year on September 18, the communist youth of Greece and other progressives organized a massive rally at Karatsini along with various other events to mark the 7th anniversary of the martyrdom of Pavlos Fissas. The neo-Nazi and fascist political group Golden Dawn was founded in 1985. It gained some electoral success during the Greek debt crisis from 2009 to 2018. However, in the 2019 greek legislative elections, Golden Dawn lost all its 18 mpc's.
