Germany and the rest of the member states do not want Greece to leave the euro zone. There is an intermediate point between implementing the programme of SYRIZA and exiting the euro zone at which the radical left can reconsider its positions. This can only happen in the event of a serious blow such as emptying ATMs, which will make Greek voters and mostly pensioners, who voted for SYRIZA, aware that things are not so easy.
What is the place of Golden Dawn in this situation?
I think we overestimate its powers. The limits of its influence became apparent when it took the blow of the judicial investigation after the murder of Pavlos Fyssas. I do not think it is able to play the game it has planned, namely the imposition of violence and militarization of political activity.
A new generation of Golden Dawners may appear to be more moderate and to turn Golden Dawn into a formation similar to the National Front of Marine Le Pen. Otherwise, it will be a party with a rate of 7-8%.
What should be noted is the role of leader of Independent Greeks Panos Kammenos, whose strength is quite underestimated. He is clever and cunning. He won 4.5% of the election vote because of a very smart campaign. Now he is the head of a "safe" ministry in the sense that it will not undertake painful austerity measures, etc. At the same time, however, it allows him to create a mechanism in the country through which to develop his clientelistic relations. I think Kammenos will be a constant problem for New Democracy and Greece.
