Representatives of Popular Orthodox Alert (LAOS), which participates in the coalition government since November 2011, have repeatedly expressed racist/xenophobic and antisemitic views. Although the two major parties (PASOK and Nea Dimokratia) had in the past and stil host members with nationalist views, a certain attention is paid when it comes to these issues.
