Giorgos Christodoulou Reflects on Golden Dawn’s Parliamentary Rise and Its Impact on His Generation

Greek playwright and actor Giorgos Christodoulou spoke to the newspaper To Vima’s questionnaire, linking his recent theatrical collaboration with Vasiliki Troufakou and Argyris Xafi to a broader reflection on politics. He said his generation has lived through a series of major political events, the most defining of which was the entry of the far‑right party Golden Dawn into the Greek Parliament. Christodoulou described that moment as a signal of change that brought both insecurity and pessimism about the future, noting that the resulting crisis is still in its early stages.

He also contrasted the speed of technological innovation with the slower pace of shifts in public mindset, arguing that progressive ideas often become conservatively interpreted over time.
