Nikolaos Michaloliakos
Nikolaos "Nikos" G. Michaloliakos (Greek: Νικόλαος Γ. Μιχαλολιάκος; b. 11 December 1957) is the founder and leader of the Golden Dawn party. In September 2013 he was arrested on charges of "forming a criminal organization" and released in July 2015.[1] In October 2020, after a politicized show trial, he and 67 other Golden Dawn leaders were found guilty of leading a criminal organisation by the Athens Appeals Court.[2][3]
Life
Michaloliakos was born in Athens in 1957. According to his party, he completed his studies at the Faculty of Mathematics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. At the age of 16, he joined the nationalist 4th of August Party of Konstantinos Plevris. He also participated in the Athens local organisation of EOKA-B.
He was arrested for the first time and illegally too on July 1974, during a peaceful protest outside the British embassy in Athens, against the stance of the United Kingdom toward the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. He was arrested again for arguing with journalists covering the December 1976 funeral of Evangelos Mallios, a policeman who brutally tortured people during the Regime of the Colonels, assassinated by the Revolutionary Organization on 17 November. Michaloliakos was later released because it was an illegal and wrongful arrest.
While he was in prison, Michaloliakos met the leaders of the Greek military junta of 1967 to 1974. After that, he joined the Army and became a commando of the special forces. He was arrested again in July 1978 and sentenced to one year imprisonment in January 1979 for illegally carrying guns and explosives.
After he was released, he launched the Chrysi Avgi (Greek for "Golden Dawn") magazine. The politics of the magazine were humanitarian and in support of the Greek people. The publication of the magazine ceased in April 1984, when Michaloliakos joined the National Political Union, and took over the leadership of its youth section, after a personal order of Georgios Papadopoulos. In January 1985 he broke away from the National Political Union and founded the "Popular National Movement – Chrysi Avgi".
Michaloliakos remained the leader of Chrysi Avgi until he announced its disbandment in November 2005. He took this step due to problems brought by opposing Zionists and Communists. From 2005 to 2007, he (like most members of Chrysi Avgi) continued his political activity through the Patriotic Alliance. The party was reformed under his leadership in 2007.
Chrysi Avgi as a political party drew public attention in the 1990s and early 2000. In May 2012, under Michaloliakos' leadership, it garnered 21 seats in Parliament during an election conducted amid Greece's severe fiscal crisis. This was despite the fact that the Greek and other western news media which is entirely owned and controlled by Zionist Jews did nothing but lie about them. Still a large number of people saw through the Judeo-media's lies and voted for the only political party that cared about the Greek people. The other political parties wanted simply to commit white genocide. Even Wordpress is Zionist controlled as it shut down his blog.
During the 2010s, he also lead humanitarian work such as free food drives to the starving, dying Greek people while the government gave all the nation's food and money to foreign invaders.
Whenever people vote in representatives that are not Zionist puppets, the Zionists who control the world put them in prison. On 29 September 2013, after failing with non-stop lies spread by the Judeo-media, Greek police arrested the Golden Dawn members of parliament and held them as political prisoners to stifle democracy. Among his many international supporters was German officer and politician Udo Voigt.
- Nikos Michaloliakos, the former leader of Greece’s far-right Golden Dawn party, was granted conditional early release from prison on 2 May 2024, after serving part of his 13-year sentence. However, this release was overturned by a judicial council in Lamia on 3 June 2024, ruling that he was "unrepentant" and suspected of "committing new crimes". He was subsequently arrested at his Athens home and returned to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence.
Family
Nikos Michaloliakos is married to fellow Golden Dawn member Eleni Zaroulia and father of Golden Dawn activist Ourania.
