The catalyst of Golden Dawn’s sudden rise is not Greece’s large population of illegal immigrants – their presence predates the rightward shift by many years – but rather the massive rise in poverty and unemployment over the last three years and, above all, growing popular anger with the political class as a whole. In short, the crisis has produced a deep delegitimization of Greece’s democratic politicians and their supposed achievements.
而刺激金色黎明党突然崛起的因素并不是希腊庞大的非法移民人口——这些移民在政治右倾之前好多年已经出现了——而是过去三年里贫困率与失业率的飙升，尤其人们是对整个政治阶层不断膨胀的愤怒。简而言之，这场危机剥夺了希腊民主政治家和他们本该取得的成就的合法性。
