A general strike is under way in Greece in protest against the next round of spending cuts, required in return for another bailout instalment.
It is the country's 20th national stoppage since the debt crisis erupted two years ago and comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels.........

What does Golden Dawn do during these events, just out of curiosity? Do they pretend to be on the side of the strikers? Do they pick out foreign workers and blame them? Or do they just terrorize the whole crowd to get them to start working again?

Another thread suggested they had a fair amount of support from the state.
Sounds familiar does it?

They're there as always, in their uniforms. You know, shields, batons, helmets, tear gas.
