Thanos Tsimeros argued that the European Union should not finance magazines with taxpayers' money, regardless of their themes. He mentioned that he learned about Bebe Magazine - Trans Issue from an interview with an artist who performed in a cabaret and from a message from a friend of his related to Belgium. According to what he cited from his friend's message, the publication promoted positions of the trans and queer communities and received funding through the EU's Erasmus+. His friend mentioned that the coordinator was the Belgian Bebe Books.vzw and that the Flemish organization JINT participated in the funding. He cited two grants that, as he reported, he found on the Erasmus website: €57,200 for the period 31/12/23–30/12/24 and €34,500 for the period 15/12/25–14/12/26. Tsimeros said that his friend had filed a complaint with JINT, EACEA, as well as with officials from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, and had also communicated with Greek MEPs. According to his description, he planned to appeal to the European Ombudsman after receiving responses from the agencies or after the expiration of a two-month deadline. #Φόροι #ΕΕ #Κουλτούρα (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)

Nikolas Apelaios II described the days leading up to the Italian attack on Greece, from October 23 to 27, 1940, stating that the Greek ambassador in Rome had informed the government that the attack was expected between October 25 and 28. According to him, Italian reconnaissance aircraft were photographing military points of interest, while senior Greek officials considered the attack imminent. Apelaios reported that on October 24, Ioannis Metaxas recorded in his diary rumors of an attack the next day and informed the chiefs of staff to remain in Athens or to notify where they were. On October 25, according to the post, Metaxas informed the Cabinet about the concentration of Italian troops at the border, and the government rejected both substantial territorial concessions and symbolic gestures toward Italy. He noted that Metaxas and his ministers did not attend the premiere of the opera "Madama Butterfly" at the Royal Theater on October 25, in the presence of Antonio Puccini and Curzio Malaparte. From the government, as he wrote, Deputy Foreign Minister Mavroudis and Deputy Minister of Press Nikolidis attended. The next day, Ambassador Politis reported that the Athens–Rome airline had been suspended until further notice. In his narrative, at the reception of the Italian embassy on October 26, Ambassador Grazzi was often absent, while on the upper floor the ultimatum to Greece was being dictated from Rome. Nikolidis called Metaxas early on October 27 regarding reports of incidents at the border. Apelaios noted that the Athens News Agency denied the news at 04:00, following an order from Metaxas. Apelaios also wrote that, on October 27, Greek and Italian officers met to discuss the incidents, while the Greek government was receiving information about the movements of Italian units towards the border. He added that shortly after Metaxas left his office, information arrived from the Italian embassy that a declaration of war was imminent, but it was decided not to inform him. According to him, the Prime Minister's car departed for Kifisia without him knowing the information. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #ΔεύτεροςΠαγκόσμιοςΠόλεμος (translated)

The Proper Greek Analyst wrote that, according to a report by the Financial Times on October 16, 2026, Italy had secured a preliminary agreement with the European Commission for an intervention mechanism in wholesale electricity prices when the price of natural gas exceeded 59 euros per MWh. He mentioned that the mechanism was based on the Iberian Exception. The author added that the bill proposed an increase of two percentage points in the IRAP tax for the years 2026 and 2027, with estimated revenues of 1.08 billion euros for the Italian state during the period 2026-2028. According to the post, the additional revenues would be directed towards reducing electricity bills for specific businesses. He also cited a statement from the Italian Prime Minister that the agreement would allow intervention in the way electricity prices were set, in order to address the impact of natural gas costs. The Proper Greek Analyst wondered why Greece was not seeking a similar intervention and criticized Greek journalists for not highlighting the development, as he wrote. In the post, he compared their stance to that of Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the European Council. https://t.co/pAWnS2oBWc #ενεργεια #ρευμα #Κομισιον #καύσιμα #ενεργεια #ρευμα #καύσιμα (translated)

Karditsastakra praised journalist Christos Avramidis, saying that he explained in detail how Greeks were paying very dearly for American LNG, while they could be obtaining much cheaper Russian gas. He argued that this served the interests of businessmen who had signed contracts with the USA and linked it to the continuation of the European Union's sanctions against Russia.

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)

Amalia claimed that the Bulgarian occupation in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace continued from September 9 to October 26, 1944, with the complicity of the EAM. She wrote that this period was omitted by leftist historiography and that, after the communist-controlled Patriotic Front took power in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian forces did not withdraw from the Greek areas that had been ceded by the Germans. According to her, the EAM followed a "brotherhood" line with the occupiers and had agreed to the annexation of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace to Bulgaria. She also claimed that Soviet officers and soldiers had arrived in Komotini, Xanthi, and Drama, saying they were waiting for units for operations in Thessaloniki. Amalia stated that George Papandreou informed Churchill, who requested from Moscow and Sofia the complete withdrawal of the Bulgarian troops; according to the post, they left on October 26. Amalia added that Bulgaria attempted in July 1946, at the Paris Peace Conference, to claim Western Thrace with the support of the USSR, but the British rejected the request. As sources, she cited works by V. Kontis and S. Sfetas, Andreas Papandreou, Vasileios Kontis, and Chris Woodhouse. #Βουλγαρία #Ιστορία #Κατοχή (translated)

Jack wrote that there were rumors that Greek entrepreneurs had bribed the American ambassador in exchange for political and economic favors, something that, according to the rumors, led to her resignation. He argued that the Olympiacos Basketball Club had no connection to the case, despite the ambassador's repeated appearances at SEF together with the team owners, and described the visits as coincidental. #φήμες #παραίτηση #καλαθοσφαίριση (translated)
