Jetzt muessen viele Unfugs Abteilungen und Verwaltungen geschlossen werden. Deutschland hat ebenso einen viel zu hohen Verwaltungs Aufwand, fuer das Militaer im Vergleich zu den NATO Staaten.

ATHENS — 
The video, which went viral in 
Greece
 last month, shows about 40 burly men, led by Giorgos Germenis, a 
lawmaker with the right-wing Golden Dawn party, marching through a night
 market in the town of Rafina demanding that dark-skinned merchants show
 permits.        
 
 
        
Some do, and they are left alone. But the action quickly picks up, as 
the men, wearing black T-shirts with the party’s name, destroy a stall 
with clubs and scatter the merchandise. “We saw a few illegal immigrants
 selling their wares,” Mr. Germenis says in the video. “We did what 
Golden Dawn has to do. And now we’re going to church to pay our respects
 to the Madonna.”        
Just a few months ago, the name Golden Dawn was something to be whispered in Greece.        
In cafes, taxis and bars, Greeks across the political spectrum are 
discussing the palpable surge in Golden Dawn’s popularity, which has 
risen in recent political polls even as the group steps up a campaign of
 vigilantism and attacks against immigrants.        
The poll gains come amid growing disenchantment over rising illegal 
immigration, and with the government of Prime Minister 
Antonis Samaras,
 which is being forced by its international lenders to push through $15 
billion in additional, highly unpopular, austerity measures. If Greece 
were to hold new elections soon, Golden Dawn could emerge as the 
third-largest party in Parliament, behind Mr. Samaras’s New Democracy 
and the left-wing Syriza. Currently, Golden Dawn is the fifth largest, 
with 18 out of 300 seats.        
 
“We have a major socioeconomic crisis in which several hundred thousand 
Greeks are losing ground,” said Nikos Demertzis, a professor of 
political sociology at the University of Athens. “And you have a rising 
number of immigrants in Greece, many illegal. This is creating a 
volcanic situation where all the classic parameters for the flourishing 
of a far-right force like Golden Dawn are present.”        
The group recently opened an office in New York, announcing its presence with a 
sleek Web site
 depicting a stylized Swastika against a darkened Manhattan skyline. The
 Web site was disabled by hackers less than a day later and remains 
down, and the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association 
condemned the group’s outreach, saying that “fascism has no place in the United States.”        
 
Golden Dawn has also established an outpost in Australia, where Greeks 
have been emigrating by the thousands to escape the crisis in their 
homeland.        
The group is still far from being a major threat to Mr. Samaras’s party,
 or to his fragile three-party coalition government. Most Greeks express
 alarm at the group’s rise, and anti-fascist organizations in Athens are
 continuing efforts neighborhood by neighborhood to counter its 
increased vigilantism.        
Yet, rising political and social discontent is rich fodder for Golden 
Dawn as it tries to cultivate a larger base. These days, it is not 
uncommon for conversations to evolve into laments about the 
ineffectiveness of Mr. Samaras’s government, before a mention of Golden 
Dawn’s rise in the polls slips in.        
“People have no faith in the political system,” said Dimitris 
Kaklamanos, 41, a worker at a Shell gas station in the town of Piraeus, 
on the outskirts of Athens.        
Mr. Kaklamanos said he had long voted for Pasok, the Socialist party, 
but grew disillusioned with corruption and the ineptitude of its 
politicians. Now, he feels attracted to Golden Dawn, he said, whose 
popularity he expects to continue to rise, especially as the group 
replaces police and government services in poor areas where the state 
has almost ceased to function.        
Other political parties “know that Golden Dawn is gaining power and they
 see that as a threat,” Mr. Kaklamanos said. “But Golden Dawn are the 
only ones out there demonstrating they care about the Greek people.”    
    
He cited food and clothing drives conducted by the group across a 
widening area of Athens, as well as protections it extends to vulnerable
 Greeks in neighborhoods where crime has surged in tandem with illegal 
immigration.
