THOUSANDS were set to gather outside the central court in Athens on Wednesday to hear the long-awaited verdicts in the trial of Greek neonazi party Golden Dawn.
It is the biggest trial of nazi criminality since Nuremberg and later processes following the second world war. It ranks in Greek history alongside the hearings after the fall of the junta in 1974 of top officers responsible for the military coup of 1967.
A huge amount rests upon the outcome, not only for Greece but also for the anti-fascist movement on both sides of the Atlantic. If acquitted, Golden Dawn will receive €8 million of state funding held back over the last seven years while the investigation and then trial of it as a criminal organisation took place.
