  As far as I can see the argument with Golden Dawn is nowt to do with opposition to the austerity proposals and everything to do with their connections to fascism and criminality.
  
  Sadly the Greek state and by direct extension its people were happy to spend years living way beyond their means and merrily borrowed money on the international bond market in the, as it turned out, misguided belief that they could keep rolling the debt over through the issuance of new bonds. Unfortunately for them a reality check was called for and it was found that essentially for the 4th time in 150 years the Greek state was bankrupt. Now if you or I were in this position the banks would be unlikely to agree to much if any reduction in our debt, why should an irresponsible nation be any different? The running up of huge governmental borrowing and the truly stupendous levels of tax avoidance/evasion within Greece was not some hideous conspiracy by a malevolent bunch of Eurocrats, it was the Greeks doing it to themselves.
  
  Of course this does not fit with your world view.
  
  As for banning a political party I actually agree that this is wrong and generally counter productive, however criminality and the breaking of the law of the land by members of any party should not be tolerated and should be dealt with appropriately
