The outcome of the Golden Dawn trial in October 2020 marked the completion of its delegitimization process, which had already begun at the societal level some years earlier.
Almost the entire political spectrum welcomed the conviction, and its practices were now officially characterized as criminal.
But what are the ideological patterns upon which Golden Dawn was founded, and to what extent do they continue to exist and manifest in society even after the conclusion of its judicial condemnation?
What is the reflection of its ideas in the perceptions of the broader society, and how are these ideas ideologically interpreted and internalized?
And ultimately, to what extent does far-right discourse permeate everyday life and become embedded in attitudes and opinions that are gradually normalized?
This study addresses an extremely critical and timely issue: the normalization of far-right discourse, both by official institutions of the Greek state and by civil society itself.
What makes this particular research distinctive is that the chapters it contains have been constructed with direct reference to the actual discourse of the individuals staffing the institutions under examination.
