Chris Avramidis described the program "Ellenofrenia" as delightful for its coverage of the uprising in France and the comparison of communism to Nazism made by Kyranakis and Marinakis. He added that, if he were one of the two, he would prefer that the audio not spread widely. https://t.co/Uzy80w78RD #Ελληνοφρένεια #Γαλλία #Κομμουνισμός (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that, in a briefing for political reporters, he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis if the government agreed with Kyrianakis, whom he presented as the secretary of New Democracy, that the KKE is an authoritarian party that does not believe in democracy. According to him, he asked the question three times, without Marinakis stating whether he agreed or disagreed. Avramidis noted that Kyrianakis, while he had started to criticize Ilia Kasidiaris, attacked the KKE and equated communism with Nazism. He also mentioned that he reminded Marinakis of the photos from the execution of 200 communists in Kaisariani and asked if there is any historical evidence that equates the executioners with the executed. In his description, Marinakis referred to victims of Stalinism, European Day of Remembrance, and the legalization of the KKE by New Democracy, instead of answering the question. Avramidis said he countered with the names of Chalkidis, Tsarouhas, and Halvatzis, whom he connected with persecutions and torture by the Greek dictatorship. The journalist ultimately accused New Democracy of politically covering Nazis and argued that Kyrianakis's stance politically legitimized Kasidiaris. He compared the climate to that of 2013 and referred to Takis Baltakos, who, as he wrote, had conversed with Kasidiaris back then. #antifa #ΚΚΕ #Ναζισμός #Κομμουνισμός (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that five ministers and deputy ministers of the government, along with members of New Democracy, participated in a meeting with representatives of an Israeli lobbying organization, in the presence of the Israeli ambassador. According to Reporters United, the aim was to establish a group in Parliament called "Allies of Israel," led by Kostas Tsiaras. Avramidis mentioned that they asked the government spokesman who participated, what obligations they undertook, and whether there was any agreement or institutional involvement of the government or Parliament. As he wrote, he referred them to contact the ministers and MPs, stating that it was not his job to respond regarding the participation of each MP. According to Avramidis, they did not receive an answer to the question of whether ministers could participate in a permanent parliamentary group connected to a lobbying organization supporting a foreign state. The journalist further noted that, according to Reporters United, the organization had been linked to missions of MPs to the West Bank alongside settlement leaders, while its founder had supported the annexation of occupied Palestinian territories and the so-called "voluntary transfer" of Palestinians. He wrote that the government stated it disagreed with these positions but did not answer whether it condemned them or if the members of the group would support them. He mentioned that the government spokesman responded that meeting with someone did not mean adopting their views and questioned the adoption of publications. Avramidis argued that the participants themselves had announced the establishment of the group. #Παλαιστίνη #Ισραήλ #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)
Chris Avramidis described the invitation to the dead on Sunday, 18/10/2026, as forbidden and referred to the deceased as immortal. In his post, he added tags for the Tempi and the crime of Tempi. #Τεμπη #Τεμπη_εγκλημα https://t.co/Wtgm8j4nPS #Κυριακή #Νεκροί #Αθάνατοι (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that 1,500 artisanal bakeries closed within three years, of which 1,200 for economic reasons. He cited the president of the Professional Chamber, who, according to him, stated that more bakeries had closed than during the Occupation. He added that professionals claimed their energy costs had increased by 40%. Avramidis noted that the four largest energy groups had shown operational profitability exceeding 1 billion euros in terms of EBITDA in 2025 from energy production, trading, and supply activities. He mentioned that he asked the government if it planned to intervene in the market and the profits of the groups to reduce costs for small businesses. According to Avramidis, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis referred to the greatest energy crisis in history, previous state interventions, and the taxation of windfall profits, while stating that retail electricity prices in Greece were lower than the European average. Avramidis stated that he raised the question of how the closure of small businesses coexisted with the high profitability of energy groups, asking for a specific new measure for bakeries. In his account, Marinakis responded again referencing already implemented measures, fixed household tariffs, and comparatively low electricity prices in Greece, without announcing new support for bakeries. Avramidis argued that the government response did not address the issue of small businesses and that the energy crisis had different consequences for small professionals and large groups. He said that for the former it could mean closure, while for the latter it coexisted with profits of hundreds of millions of euros. #ενεργειακήκρίση #οικονομία #φούρνοι (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that Pavlos Marinakis had met with Kimberly Guilfoyle on September 16 and described their conversation as "extremely productive and substantial." According to Avramidis, less than a month later, Donald Trump requested her resignation amid allegations and reports regarding her behavior. Avramidis mentioned that he asked what was discussed in the meeting and whether topics related to the Vertical Corridor and the business interests surrounding it were raised. In his description, Marinakis initially responded by criticizing those who found the meeting problematic, while later stating that among the topics were the embassy press releases and the communication of the visits of American officials. Avramidis cited reports indicating that Guilfoyle was asking businessmen for hundreds of thousands of dollars, even to pay off her luxury Mercedes. He added that, according to reports, she had made derogatory comments about Greeks during the crisis. Regarding the Vertical Corridor, Avramidis wrote that Marinakis responded that the agreement was signed before Guilfoyle arrived in Greece. He clarified that his questions concerned the subsequent processes and the business interests surrounding the implementation of the project. According to Avramidis, the government spokesperson extensively presented the energy strategy, mentioning among others ExxonMobil, Chevron, Bergam, Rubio, Houston, and Ukraine, but responded negatively to the question of whether he discussed these issues with Guilfoyle. Avramidis added that Marinakis hinted that those who disagreed with the Vertical Corridor might, albeit inadvertently, express the positions of neighboring countries. He argued that the project would increase the prices consumers would pay and stated that he would continue to ask government officials about their meetings with foreign officials and the interests surrounding multi-billion dollar agreements. #Κυβέρνηση #ΕπιχειρηματικάΣυμφέροντα #Διπλωματία (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis attributed to Pano Routsis and the other relatives of the victims of the Tempe tragedy an intention to obstruct the trial through a hunger strike. According to Avramidis, Floridis presented the strike as the last major effort to prevent the trial from starting and questioned the motives of the relatives regarding the exhumations. Avramidis argued that documents revealed by MEGA showed that the relatives were requesting specialized examinations to determine how their loved ones died. He mentioned that state experts had identified a laboratory in the Netherlands that agreed to carry them out, but the prosecutor's office continued to seek clarifications, and the exhumations had not progressed, placing the responsibility on the state. He added that he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis if he agreed with Floridis, and that Marinakis initially defended the minister, saying he answered "very correctly." When Avramidis asked if he agreed that the hunger strike of a father who lost his child aimed to obstruct the trial, Marinakis, according to the journalist, avoided answering directly. Later he stated that he did not characterize Floridis' statement as accurate, while Avramidis noted that he had previously said the minister responded "very correctly." He concluded that despite repeated questions, the government spokesman did not clarify whether the government agreed with the minister's accusation. #Τεμπη #Τεμπη_εγκλημα #Τεμπη #Δικαιοσύνη #Απεργία_Πείνας (translated)
Chris Avramidis stated that he asked the Greek government about reports from the Daily Mail and the Wall Street Journal regarding Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and AKTOR lobbyist Christos Marafatsos. According to what he cited from the Daily Mail, Guilfoyle allegedly requested $250,000 from Greek businessmen to pay off her luxury Mercedes. The Wall Street Journal, as he mentioned, wrote that the paid lobbyist Marafatsos accompanied the ambassador to official government meetings, without the interlocutors always knowing which company he represented. Avramidis said he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis who the businessmen were, whether they had transactions with the public sector, which meetings with ministers the lobbyist participated in, and whether possible conflicts of interest would be checked. According to the journalist, Marinakis replied that the issue did not fall under the government's competencies, accused him of adopting the reports, and referred him to the press offices of the ministries. Avramidis added that the government spokesman said the government could neither dismiss nor adopt the reports. The journalist argued that the questions regarding the lobbyist's meetings with ministers, whether they knew which company he represented, and whether the contacts for potential conflicts of interest would be examined remained unanswered. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)
Chris Avramidis commented on the departure of Kimberley Guilfoyle, accusing the Mitsotakis government of not asking her to retract offensive remarks about Greeks. He noted that suicides had increased by 35% during that period and criticized the ambassador for her stance towards the Greek people. Avramidis claimed that the Vertical Corridor would serve the sale of American liquefied natural gas in Europe, benefiting American multinationals and Greek oligarchs, while consumers would pay higher prices. He also linked the case to a report from the Wall Street Journal, which stated that AKTOR paid $160,000 to a lobbyist who illegally participated in official meetings with Guilfoyle, while she was promoting the company to governments in the Balkans. He accused the Greek media of not sufficiently covering the issue and asked why SKAI withdrew a related publication, suggesting that the decision might be connected to the business interests of shipowner Alafouzos. He also claimed that Guilfoyle had threatened that the Greek government could fall and compared this reasoning to the Apostasy of 1965 and the junta of 1967. Finally, Avramidis estimated that AKTOR might lose money and accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of potentially offsetting losses with direct assignments. He linked the company to the Tempi incident, criticizing the delays in restoring railway signals and the attribution of responsibility to a stationmaster. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ενέργεια (translated)
Chris Avramidis argued that Kimberley Guilfoyle's farewell text revealed that her mission in Greece aimed to serve American interests. He stated that she presented deals for the export of American liquefied natural gas through the Vertical Corridor, the expansion of opportunities for American businesses and investments, and the strengthening of American energy influence and leadership in Southeast Europe as successes. Avramidis described the Vertical Corridor as detrimental to Greek households, whether it is implemented at 50% or 10% by Greek brokers. He argued that hundreds of millions of euros would be directed towards American interests, instead of reducing the energy burden for households, and said that the project was presented as aid to Ukraine, while, according to him, it represented a profitable business opportunity for companies seeking to expand their influence. He also claimed that Guilfoyle threatened that the Greek government could be overthrown if it did not meet the desires of the U.S., and compared this logic to what, he said, happened in 1965 and 1967. He also referred to published allegations that she was asking for bribes and argued that her departure was not enough as a response. He raised the issue of democratic legitimacy, asking who decided that the needs of Greek households had to be subordinated to American interests, and mentioned, along with American multinationals, the large contractor AKTOR. #Γκιλφόιλ #αμερικη #Γκιλφόιλ #αμερικανική_κυριαρχία #Ελλάδα (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that Kimberly Guilfoyle was resigning and accused the government of not asking her to retract offensive remarks about the Greeks. He claimed that government officials were willing to sacrifice everything for the dollar and that the country would pay dearly for the natural gas that would be imported from afar, to the benefit of multinationals, leaving, as he said, the homes cold. Avramidis stated that for several weeks, Guilfoyle's actions had revealed what was happening behind closed doors, mentioning lobbyists, secret meetings, threats of dictatorship if Greece did not procure fuel from the USA, and Greek brokers. He also criticized the mainstream media for, in his opinion, avoiding mentioning Exarchou and Aktor, even though these names, as he wrote, were at the center of an investigation about Greece published by the Wall Street Journal. He asked why SKAI took down a news story and why other systemic media reported the story without mentioning the major contractor. At the same time, he argued that businessmen who appeared as competitors could quickly coordinate when financial interests were at stake. He said that Guilfoyle, whom he described as a former ambassador, provided lessons through her messages on how such agreements were made. He added that the government spokesman tried to defend her, even though she, as he claimed, had ridiculed the Greeks with an inhumane analogy. Finally, he mentioned that even if Aktor's business agreement failed, the company could be awarded a direct contract with public money. He wrote that the project would be delayed for years and that, in the end, those responsible could blame the stationmaster. #Τεμπη #Γκιλφόιλ #Κυβέρνηση #ΜΜΕ #ΔημόσιαΣφαίρα (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that Dimitris had his birthday three days earlier and that his father, Pavlos Aslanidis, felt that the day of the rally was like a celebration for him. According to his account, Aslanidis said that his son was killed in the Tempi region along with the other children and that the relatives of the deceased would not stop until all those responsible were held accountable, no matter how high up they were. Avramidis described how Aslanidis stopped speaking to the crowd and addressed his son, saying that his absence left a void in his life and that he missed him greatly. He wrote that thousands of people remained silent, bowed, and shuddered before applauding. He also mentioned that millions of people had taken to the streets for the children. Avramidis added that if he were Karamanlis, Mitsotakis, or the CEO of Hellenic Train or Aktor, he would not feel comfortable with the promise from the parents that they would continue until the end. #Τεμπη #antireport #Τέμπη #δικαιοσύνη #γενέθλια (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that he saw again the response given by Marinakis the same day regarding Elefsina. He claimed that, although the attack was being recorded on video and the perpetrator shouted that he was a fascist, the government spokesperson did not recognize Nazi violence and referred the matter to the judiciary. Avramidis wondered where this stance regarding Kasidiaris was leading. #antireport #ναζιστικήβία #πολιτική #δικαιοσύνη (translated)
Chris Avramidis described a moment in Halkidiki, where, as he wrote, Natassa Bofiliou dedicated the song "Nothing Goes to Waste" to Dimitris Aslanidis, who, according to the post, was murdered on the train in Tempi. His father, Pavlos, gave her his hand, while many thousands of people sang and were moved, he mentioned. Avramidis said it was not a concert, but a "breath." #Τεμπη #antireport #Χαλκιδική #νατάσσαμποφίλιου #μουσική (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis did not answer directly whether the government agreed with the New Democracy MEP Eleonora Meleti, who, according to him, had spoken about employers being blackmailed by employees. According to Avramidis, Marinakis said that Meleti's related reference was limited and that she "must have received" complaints, while adding that he could not know if such incidents existed. Avramidis noted that when asked again whether the government adopted the position of the MEP, the spokesman did not respond with clear agreement or disagreement and referred to the importance of employers creating and paying for jobs. Avramidis commented that the answer portrayed Meleti as a defender of workers, even though, as he wrote, she had referred to employers who were being blackmailed by employees. #Εργαζόμενοι #Εργοδότες #Κυβέρνηση (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that Thanasis Papakonstantinou performed "The Mines" in front of 20,000 people in Chalkidiki, who were shouting against the mines and environmental destruction. He described the night as a source of strength for many people. Avramidis mentioned that Eldorado had won a battle using police batons, but he argued that the gathering showed that nothing was over and that the multinational could not operate unhindered, despite the strong support it had. He added that, in his opinion, no violation or workplace accident would remain hidden. #antireport #skouries #Χαλκιδική #Περιβάλλον #ΕνάντιαΣταΟρυχεία (translated)
Chris Avramidis wrote that the proceeds from today's concert would be used to purchase a prosthetic leg for a disabled person who, as he mentioned, had declined money from a multinational company that he described as "dirty." He added that the money was raised by thousands of people and emphasized that the power lies with the people themselves. #antireport #skouries #antireport #skouries https://t.co/9vcNNPVOzP #αναπηρία #φιλανθρωπία #συναυλία (translated)
