*John Kiriakou's tally of the June 2023 Greek parliamentary election, which he treats as the most disturbing case of a Europe-wide trend: eight parties won seats, six of them right-wing, four of them right-wing extremist, and two of them neo-Nazi parties taking thirteen seats between them.*

- **Election:** Greek parliamentary election, June 2023
- **Parties winning seats:** Eight
- **Right-wing parties:** Six
- **Right-wing extremist parties:** Four
- **Neo-Nazi parties:** Two, holding thirteen seats between them

The **Greek neo-Nazi seats** are the result [John Kiriakou](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/john-kiriakou) singled out from the June 2023 Greek parliamentary election as the sharpest instance of a continent-wide rightward shift.

## The count

Kiriakou raised Greece as a correction to the coverage. Much had been made in the press that week about the ascendance of the far right in France and Italy, he said — noting that Italy had a fascist prime minister and that the most popular party in France, if polls were to be believed, was the extreme right party.[1]

But *"Greece had its elections two weeks ago, and eight parties won seats in parliament. Six of them are right-wing parties, and four of them are right-wing extremist parties. There are two neo-Nazi parties that won a total of 13 seats in the Greek parliament."*[1]

## The wider trend

He read the Greek figures as part of a pattern rather than an outlier: *"This is a very disturbing trend that we're seeing all over Western Europe. And we already are seeing entrenched right-wing parties in Poland, in Hungary, in the UK, let's be honest."*[2]

On the British case he named a specific policy as evidence — see [the Rwanda deportations](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/the-rwanda-deportations).[2]

Earlier in the same exchange, Kiriakou had summarised the electoral choice now on offer across much of Western Europe as *"a right-wing government, a far right-wing government, or an extreme right-wing government. Those are their choices."*[3]
