The American Jewish Committee (AJC), a Jewish advocacy organisation, applauded a Greek state prosecutor’s decision to bring to trial the leaders of the neo-Nazi political party Golden Dawn. "Prime Minister Samaras and Greece's law enforcement and judicial authorities have pursued Golden Dawn with admirable courage and determination, demonstrating principled leadership," said AJC Executive Director David Harris.

He added that "the Golden Dawn Party threatens the very foundation of Greece, the cradle of democracy. Bringing party leaders to justice for their criminal activity is important for the well-being and security of Greek society."
