Greek Priest Tabakis Defends Past Actions Amid Backlash Before Drone Metal Debut

Greek Orthodox priest and drone metal artist Father Dionysios Tabakis issued a statement addressing accusations of fascism and homophobia following the resurfacing of old blog posts and a 2013 ceremony for the neo-Nazi group Golden Dawn. The controversy emerged just before his first live performance at Philadelphia’s Making Time festival. Tabakis clarified that he performed the ceremony as an official duty when Golden Dawn was a legal political party, while maintaining that his views on homosexuality align with traditional Orthodox Church teachings, emphasizing love and acceptance for individuals.

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.
