For four years, the Greek Justice system has been investigating the case of Golden Dawn, which, according to the indictment of the Appeals Council, is a criminal organization operating under the guise of a political party. The same conclusion is reached by all studies by historians, political scientists, and journalists who investigate the reasons why a similar political formation took root in our country. How is it possible for an organization that openly propagates the "worldview" of Nazism and exercises organized murderous violence against those it considers "subhumans" to reproduce in our country for almost four decades? And what is the reason that a similar organization managed to introduce the underworld into the central political scene? The secret of Golden Dawn's longevity is nothing other than the fact that it is an absolutely personal scheme. It is not just a creation but an absolute appendage of one person. Golden Dawn is identified with its Leader more than any other similar political formation in the world. This allows it to maneuver, transform in various ways, lie low when things get tough, and exploit every new favorable circumstance. It is, therefore, not possible to provide definitive answers to the "Golden Dawn enigma" if the "Leader's enigma" is not answered. *** Dimitris Psarras was born in Athens in 1953.
