Far right party Elliniki Lysi (Hellenic Solution) has two potential candidates for the next elections. One, Ilias Iliakopoulos was previously candidate with the Golden Dawn. The other, Paris Papadakis, is a lawyer and member of the Ainisio Delta Association - the volunteer 'border guards' body during the events of late February/March 2020, who prevented people on the move from entering Greece and were 'arresting' them.

Both were active in the protests against the expansion of the Fylakio detention centre, which were in essence far right protests, informed by hostility to people on the move and racism.

Entirely unsurprising, for me at least. Hellenic Solution was clearly in support of these 'patriot' armed groups in 2020. But so was the government, and the police and army who by all available evidence coordinated the groups' actions. How to legitimate the far right through glorifying border protection, in essence.
