At some times, particularly under the nationalist 4th of August Regime under Ioannis Metaxas of 1936 – 1941, Greek state institutions followed a policy of actively discouraging and repressing the use of Arvanitika.

During the period of the 4th of August Regime ( 1936 – 1941 ), the labrys was used as the main symbol of the regime-sponsored National Organisation of Youth ( EON ), as its leader, Ioannis Metaxas believed the symbol to be the first symbol of all Hellenic civilizations.

He came from a relatively prosperous family and went on to study Law in Athens, but before being able to graduate he was arrested and jailed in the Akronauplia prison ( Nauplion ) by the Ioannis Metaxas fascist regime in the 1930s and transferred to the Germans after the Nazi Occupation of the country ( 1941 ).

Officially denying that it has any connection to Neo-Nazism, the party maintains that it cleaves closer to the authoritarian nationalism of Ioannis Metaxas, the Greek general who established the 4th of August regime, in Greece between 1936 and 1941.

The 4th of August Regime (, Kathestos tis 4is Augoustou ), commonly also known as the Metaxas Regime (, Kathestos Metaxa ), was an authoritarian regime under the leadership of General Ioannis Metaxas that ruled Greece from 1936 to 1941.

Metaxas died suddenly in January 1941.

Zachariadis may have issued a third letter on 17 January 1941, in which he explained the motives for his first letter and wrote: " Metaxas remains the principal enemy of the people and the country.

Like the Maginot Line on the Franco-German border, the Metaxas Line was outflanked by German forces specifically when the Germans invaded Greece in April 1941 through Yugoslavia.

Metaxas died suddenly in January 1941.
