Drone-Metal Priest Responds to Backlash Ahead of Debut Live Set

Orthodox drone-metal priest Dionysios Tabakis addresses backlash over resurfaced posts and a 2013 sanctification at Golden Dawn, saying his views on homosexuality align with the Orthodox Church and that he loves and accepts LGBTQ+ people, while denouncing nationalism; he notes Golden Dawn was represented in Parliament and legal at the time (now a criminal group), clarifies that his beliefs differ from festival values, and remains focused on his first live set at the Making Time festival.

Greek conservatives win big as far-right parties make comeback

The center-right New Democracy party won a landslide victory in Greece's election, while the far-right Spartans party, endorsed by a jailed former lawmaker from the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, won seats in parliament. The ultra-religious Niki party and nationalist Hellenic Solution were also returned to parliament. The surge in far-right support highlights the need to understand why voters are turning away from the center without compromising liberal values.

Greece bans neo-Nazi linked party from upcoming election.

Greece's Supreme Court has banned the far-right Hellenes party, founded by a jailed member of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn group, from contesting the May 21 general election. The court's assembly ruled that the small nationalist party was a "continuation of Golden Dawn". Ilias Kasidiaris, the former spokesman and lawmaker of Golden Dawn, formed Hellenes in 2020, a few months before he was sent to prison. Kasidiaris was among nearly 60 Golden Dawn members convicted in 2020 of the murder of anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas and other crimes including murder, assault and running a criminal organisation.
