The first data suggest that the neo-Nazi party won around 6.9%, which is close to the seven percent, which it received at the previous elections in May. Now, some Greek journalists gathered in the pre-election media centre in Zappeion Hall, are commenting that Golden Dawn might get a little higher support, but without justifying this assumption.

The extremely small difference of 0.5% between the two main competitors in the election campaign the Radical Left Party SYRIZA and the centre-right party New Democracy caused anxiety in the Greek media.

The incident happened half an hour before the end of the voting in the favourite neighbourhood of the anarchists Exarcheia in downtown Athens.

According to the exit polls the difference is half percent in favour of New Democracy.
