🇪🇺 Yesterday, in the Plenary @EUparliament, I asked EU High Representative @kajakallas for the EU’s official position on the #Mecca_Agreement between 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia, 🇹🇷 Türkiye and 🇵🇰 Pakistan, amid rising tensions in the Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea and the Middle East. ➡️ https://t.co/cFScpRuhx4 #EUparliament #MeccaAgreement #MiddleEast #EU #SA #TR #PK

The Greek Minister of Justice, Mr. Floridis @georgefloridis said that if we don't have a (self-sufficient) government (Mitsotakis), Turkey will invade ("will raid")! I ask him to immediately retract these statements. They are dangerous and undemocratic. And it is the best fertilizer. (translated)

#Syria - Today, I welcomed representatives of national and religious communities from the long-suffering Syria. Christians, Alawites, Druze, Ismailis, and among the Christians, Greek Orthodox Antiochians, Roman Catholics, and other denominations that have coexisted peacefully for centuries there. (translated)

Silence at the TIF regarding the predominant economic problems today: accuracy, cartels, and the private debt that reaches half a trillion euros, non-performing loans, over-indebted households, funds & servicers. (translated)

From the remote Kasos, the edge of Greece, the edge of Europe, we send a clear message. The borders of Greece are also the borders of Europe and any challenge to our country's sovereign rights concerns the entire European Union. The Turkish escalation. (translated)

📍#Kasos - Here from the 🇬🇷 Heroic Island of Kasos, as a member of the European Parliament, I send a loud message to every capital of the 27 Member States of the European Union, to the European institutions, our partners and allies, but also to 🇹🇷 Turkey. ➡️ The questioning of (translated)

🚨 I returned today to the issue of the illegal activities of Turkish fishing vessels. With a new written question that I submitted to the European Commission, I denounce the illegal fishing activity within the Alonissos - Northern Sporades Marine Park and I request a link to the illegal.

Inflation requires real supervision of the market and not begging towards the powerful and controlled players in a cartelized market. ➡️ A comprehensive set of measures is required: a) Fiscal (reduction of indirect taxes, VAT). b) Regulatory (intervention to boost). (translated)

Goed dat dit soort verhalen aandacht krijgt — we gooien te veel eten weg en willen allemaal veilige, duurzame oplossingen. De waarschuwing over microplastics en hormoonverstorende stoffen is terecht: wie kan controleren wat er écht uit goedkope bakjes lekt, zeker als ze van buiten de EU komen? De technische experts hebben gelijk dat magnetron en beschadigde vierkante bakjes extra risico’s geven. Maar laten we niet doen alsof dit alleen een kwestie van individuele keuze is. Niet iedereen kan zomaar glazen schalen kopen of maaltijden oversteken naar duurzaam servies. Fabrikanten en supermarkten moeten verantwoordelijkheid nemen: minder verpakkingsplastic, strengere controle op import, duidelijke etikettering en collectieve terugnamesystemen voor herbruikbare bakjes. De overheid moet hier actief op inzetten — subsidiering van betaalbare, veilige alternatieven en handhaving van regels horen erbij als we onze klimaat- en afvaldoelen serieus nemen. Kleine praktische tip: kies waar mogelijk voor glas of aardewerk en verwarm geen plastic in de magnetron. Maar uiteindelijk hebben we betere regels en collectieve oplossingen nodig om de gezondheids- en milieuschade eerlijk en effectief te verminderen.

🚨 In the shadow of the new provocative overflight of the Turkish #drone in Alexandroupolis (for which PASOK has already intervened in the EU), I reiterate the need for Greece to immediately proceed with specific acts of exercising national sovereignty. (translated)

Shocking are the latest figures from 🇪🇺 Eurostat regarding young people in Greece. 60% of young people aged up to 35 are forced to live with their parents. ➡️ Out of necessity, not by choice. Because they cannot afford the rent. (translated)

❗️#Monastery_of_Sinai The ownership status of the Holy Monastery of Saint Catherine of Sinai is a matter concerning the global Hellenism, Orthodoxy, and the world cultural heritage with a presence of 1,600 years and critical geopolitical significance. 🇪🇺 The European Union must intervene.

Here is the response from the Commission to my written question regarding Cyprus's exclusion from the Global Climate Conference COP31. The High Representative clarifies that the exclusion of a member state of the EU and the UN from the preparatory work of... (translated)

My interview with @HuffPostGreece about our complaint and the official investigation opened by the Commission into online fraud against Meta and other digital platforms and media 👇 (translated)

Let's take a look in 1 minute at the reasons that have led to the tragic images and losses of recent years being repeated this year, despite the superhuman efforts of our firefighters: shortages in personnel that were not addressed, European resources that... (translated)

🚨 After our cross-party complaint, the Commission is opening an official procedure against META (Facebook and Instagram) for advertising financial fraud. In detail: ✅️ "Action plan against digital fraud announced by the European Commission until autumn 2026 in response to" (translated)

It tragically proves that even this year's #fires cannot be dealt with exclusively by domestic forces despite the superhuman efforts of the firefighting service. What is needed: 🇪🇺 A coordinated European mechanism for civil protection, with common reserves. (translated)
