He also denies any party involvement in the attack claiming it is the target of a witch-hunt after government efforts to crack down on the party and its alleged influence over the Greek police force. The latest polls show that the fiery party leader now faces a backlash, with up to a third of support lost. The killing of 34-year-old Pavlos Fissas provoked outrage across the country and anti-fascist rallies are planned to coincide with a 48-hour public sector strike on Wednesday, overshadowingf Golden Dawn is Greece's third most popular party, fuelled by widespread discontent over state corruption and the economic crisis, sparking hostility to immigrants.
