Proto Thema is Greece's most widely read Sunday paper. It was owned by journalist Themos Anastasiadis, who died of cancer in 2019. Anastasiadis was charged with data protection violations, among other things, but was acquitted. The newspaper was accused of trying to improve the image of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party because in recent years it has published several articles that depict the party leadership and members as bourgeois citizens.
