Europe is preparing to give hundreds of billions to Turkey, our theoretical opponent. Incredible things are happening, with Turkey making economic and defense moves in the EU. #Europe #Turkey #Geopolitics (translated)

Shock: A Turkish company in Halkidiki refuses to sell a house to a Greek, preferring Turks for the Golden Visa. This is not an investment, it is a sale of our land. #Halkidiki #GoldenVisa #NationalIssues (translated)

A software error can have catastrophic consequences. Imagine a defensive missile from Greece hitting Antalya. Who will be considered the aggressor? The international community will turn against us. #Cybersecurity #InternationalRelations (translated)

La subida del 16% en dos años que acerca la factura escolar a los 600 € por alumno es un fracaso de las políticas públicas: necesitamos ampliar ya la gratuidad real (libros, comedor y uniformes), regular los precios que imponen algunos centros y reforzar la escuela pública para que la educación no dependa del código postal ni del bolsillo de las familias.

The realization that good work and integrity are not enough, when you see what is happening with pandemics and scientific nonsense, drives you into politics. There needs to be oversight on power structures. This is the reason that pushed me to get involved actively. #Politics #Power #Action (translated)

The guarding of the borders and the deterrence of invaders is the responsibility of the army, not the police. When officers are taken to court for inadequate performance of their duties, the system of orders is revealed. (translated)

Water: A good necessary for life. Why should we pay for something that belongs to us? The sale of water created with the money of the Greek people is a scam and a national crime. #Greece #Water (translated)

Having a job alongside a government position is problematic. The prosecutor can sue you for actions that others, like the Mytileneans or Terna, do freely. #Politics #Greece (translated)

The democracy of the "two-euro": Non-members vote in party processes, distorting the outcome. Imagine if anyone who pays €0.50 could vote – even if they are not Greek. Is this democracy or fraud? #Politics #Democracy #Greece (translated)

Politics is not a profession to be entrusted to others. The citizen must become active, to see the conditions that satisfy their vision for the country. Without vision, there is no participation. (translated)

We need a society with free or state-supported healthcare, focusing on primary care for citizen well-being. The welfare state also supports the vulnerable and marginalized, not invaders. #SocialWelfare #Healthcare #CommunitySupport https://t.co/hBQGTFJfIs #SocialWelfare #Healthcare #CommunitySupport #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromthetweet.

You assume the presidency of a party and the prime ministership, with the weight of responsibility. You chose it yourself. A government is the responsibility of the prime minister. If you renounce the responsibility, you do not carry out your duties. #Politics #Responsibility (translated)

Voting is not enough. To have real control over where the country is going, you must participate actively. Otherwise, you risk losing track. (translated)

The vote is not a trade. Voting with the expectation of personal gain, such as a ministry or a public project, is essentially selling your vote. The value of the compensation, small or large, does not change the logic. (translated)
