ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's ultra-right Golden Dawn will find a way to contest local and European elections in May despite a crackdown on the party, a senior lawmaker told a defiant crowd of a few thousand supporters in central Athens.

Golden Dawn's leader and five other lawmakers are in jail due to an investigation into whether it is a criminal organisation, but it remains Greece's third most popular party.
