A member of the Greek neo-Nazi group Golden Dawn was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of involvement in the stabbing of anti-fascist hip-hop artist Pavlos Fyssas, BBC News reported.

Clashes broke out near the scene of the crime as anti-fascist demonstrators sparred with the police later Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.

The killing, which came hours before thousands were planning to rally against the government's austerity measures, has added to social instability as debt-strapped Greece adopts unpopular fiscal reforms. Amnesty International has issued an urgent statement calling on athorities to do everything in their power to "prevent further politically motivated violenc."

The nation's Public Order Minister Nikos Dendias said the crime "shows in the clearest possible way the intentions of the neo-Nazi creation," adding, "I am shaken by the event," reported the International Business Times.

1. Does Golden Dawn call explicitly for an overthrow of the Greek government?

Just curious as to just how fascist they are.

2. I don't think so, but they've managed to get elected in rather large numbers.

Perhaps they're looking to gain a larger bloc of government that way for right now?

Killing Reds is pretty fascist though!
