The leader of the far-right Golden Dawn party, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, warned that the movement would spread across Europe after his party won 21 seats in the Greek parliament.
Addressing reporters after the vote, who were forced to stand to welcome his presence, Michaloliakos shouted,
"Greece is only the beginning."
“Veni, Vidi, Vici,” [I came, I saw, I conquered]
“The time for fear has come for those who betrayed this homeland,”
“We are coming.”
Michaloliakos pledged to fight against the "slavery" of the EU-IMF austerity programme.
Sunday's election was the first time a far-right party won over 3% of the Greek vote, thus passing the threshold to enter Parliament. Golden Dawn saw its vote increase from 0.23% in 2009, to 7%.
Party supporters, wearing all black, celebrated their success singing military anthems and repeating the Nazi slogan of "blood and honour".
