Reporter: IN THE GREEK
TOWN OF ATHENA, MEMBERS OF
"GOLD DAWN" MARCH INTO A
STORE TO SELL THEIR WEARS.
THEY CHECK FOR BUSINESS
PERMITS, AND THEN DESTROYS
THE STANDS OF THOSE WHO
CAN'T PRODUCE A DOCUMENT.
ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE
RAID SAID THEY DID IT TO
HONOR THE VIRGIN MARY.
AND ON A TALK SHOW, A MEMBER
OF THE "GOLD DAWN" THROWS
WATER IN THE FACE OF ONE.
THE SIGHT OF A MAN HITTING A
WOMAN COST THEM IN THE
POLLS, BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY
REBOUNDED.
GOLDEN DAWN IS RISING UP.
GREEKS ARE FACING AN ACUTE
SHORTAGE OF JOBS, FOOD,
MEDICINE, AND LEADERSHIP.
GREEKS WANT A SAVIOR.
THE ECONOMIC CRISIS HAVE
CAUSED MORE AND MORE GREEKS
TO LOSE FAITH IN THE
POLITICAL CLA CLASS, AND
THEY'RE LOOKING ELSEWHERE
FOR CHANGES.
NOTHING CHANGES.
ONLY WITH A REVOLUTION CAN
THINGS CHANGE.
IF THIS POLITICAL SYSTEM
DOES NOT CHANGE, GREECE WILL
NOT MOVE FORWARD.
Reporter: UNEMPLOYMENT
AMONG YOUNG ADULTS HAS HIT
AN INCREDIBLE 55%.
AND EXPERTS FEAR A REPLAY OF
THE 1930s, WHEN A
DEPRESSION IN GERMANY HELPED
USHER HITLER INTO POWER.
THE OFFICIAL RATE IS BETWEEN
10% AND 12%, BUT IT IS
PROBABLY HIGHER.
IN A NATION WHERE
POLITICIANS DON'T SEEM TO
HAVE AN ANSWER TO A CRISIS
THAT BROUGHT GREECE TO ITS
KNEES, THE APPEAL OF GOLDEN
DAWN IS IT HAS AN ANSWER,
EVEN IF IT IS THE WRONG
ANSWER.
[SPEAKING A
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Reporter: GOLDEN DAWN
HAS BEGUN TO TAKE
ON SOME
GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS, EVEN
GIVING OUT FOOD.
GREEK POLICE WHO REPORTEDLY
SUPPORT GOLDEN DAWN IN LARGE
NUMBERS, ARE TELLING
CITIZENS WHO NEED HELP TO GO
TO GOLDEN DAWN.
BUT FOR IMAGES AND REFUGEES,
GOLDEN DAWN IS A NIGHTMARE.
WE INTERVIEWED IMMIGRANTS
WHO HIDE IN THEIR APARTMENT
TO KEEP FROM BEING
ATTACKED.
THEY ESCAPED FROM
AFGHANISTAN, BUT NOW WANT TO
GO HOME.
AND SAY COMING TO GREECE WAS
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THEY
HAVE EVER MADE.
THIS
IS
VERY BAD.
YOU CAN IMAGINE ONE
POLITICAL PARTY GOING OUT
WITH KNIVES.
THIS IS POLITICS?
THIS IS NOT POLITICS.
Reporter: AT THE
GLEFADA CENTER, HE AND HIS
WIFE MINISTER TO
IMMIGRANTS.
THE PEOPLE YOU TALK WITH,
THEY HAVE A FEAR WHICH THEY
DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE.
THEY'RE HESITANT TO COME OUT
OF THEIR HOUSES BECAUSE NOW
SUDDENLY SOMEBODY MIGHT COME
UP AND BEAT THEM UP.
Reporter: THE FEAR IS
THE ECONOMIC SITUATION WILL
GET SO BAD, THAT GREEKS WILL
CHOOSE A NEW RADICAL WAY,
THE WAY OF GOLDEN DAWN.
I THINK THERE IS A
GROWING FRUSTRATION, THE
SENSE THAT THE COUNTRY IS
BEING LOST.
WHETHER IT IS BEING LOST TO
FOREIGNERS OR BEING LOST TO
HISTORY.
Reporter: AT GLEFADAN
CENTER, THEY MINISTER THAT
THE SOCIETY IS BREAKING
DOWN.
AND TO CHURCH MEMBERS WHO
COULD BE AS RISK TO FAR
RIGHT VIOLENCE.
GREEKS ARE FEELING IN
LESS CONTROL OF THEIR OWN
LIVES.
ANYWHERE THAT HAPPENS, I
THINK YOU HAVE A RISE IN
THESE TYPES OF THINGS.
WE KEPT TALKING IN THE
CHURCH, THERE IS NO CRISIS
WITH GOD.
WE REALLY MUST TRUST HIM
BECAUSE HE HAS PROMISED US
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO
TO BED BEGGING BREAD.
THAT WE WILL HAVE WHAT WE
NEED FOR THE DAY.
Reporter: DANGEROUS
TIMES COULD BE AHEAD FOR
THESE CHRISTIANS AND FOR A
LOT OF GREEKS IF GOLDEN DAWN
EVER RISES TO POWER.
