Greece's neo-Nazi political party, Golden Dawn, which has received up to 20% support in polls this year amid violent austerity riots in Athens, has opened offices in New York City and Montreal. The ultra-nationalist party has been collecting food and medicine among expatriate Greek communities, promising to dispense the aid only to ethnic Greeks in Greece. No aid will be given to immigrants, even legal immigrants. The party was criticized when it recently released a video showing a squad of Golden Dawn supporters and MPs ransacking an immigrant flea market in Greece. The party has already attracted 152 members in Montreal. Canadian leader Jimmy James says:

"Illegal immigrants, they put knives to old ladies’ throats. They’re taking over our homes. The police are doing nothing about it. ... Nobody wants to see blood spilled. But that’s what it’s starting to look like. It looks like it’s leading to a civil war."
