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)

Alexander Itimoudis argued that Greece had entered a period of reorganization of its military machine due to the increased threat from Turkey. He linked the effort to rationalize tax collection with the need to fund the development of the Greek defense industry. According to him, Turkey had a larger military industry and continued to invest in it, even at the expense of its citizens' living standards. He mentioned that the external debt of the two countries was 590 billion and 564 billion respectively, but that Turkey's debt corresponded to a smaller percentage of GDP due to its larger economy. He added that a country must be able to mobilize resources, borrow, and produce military material to respond to a potential conflict. Itimoudis stated that since Greece was still not competing with Turkey in numbers, it was investing in qualitative force multipliers. These included the Air Force and Navy, satellite data, and system interoperability through the "Achilles Shield," digitization in Belhara frigates and F-35s, exercises with Israel and Egypt, as well as cooperation in the field of intelligence with Israel and the acquisition of systems such as Spike NLOS and Spice. He also emphasized that, in his opinion, a country should be able to transfer expertise between the political sector and the military industry. He argued that Greece remained trapped in small businesses that were not innovative and in economic activities such as catering and tourism, which he deemed inadequate for resource mobilization in the event of a conflict. According to Itimoudis, Greece's actions since 2019 aimed to address the growing power disparity with Turkey. He said that rapid structural changes were required but faced intransigence both within and outside the state, and he urged readers to calmly confront what they heard and read, arguing that it did not reflect the actual situation. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΠολεμικήΒιομηχανία (translated)

Dumlada wrote that Andrea Trinchieri had won titles, had built teams from scratch, and had taken on new projects, like that of PAOK. According to him, the coach's suggestion to proceed "slowly, slowly" reflected the need for patience in a team that, as he mentioned, had not been in a leading position for two decades. Dumlada argued that those calling for Trinchieri's dismissal did not understand the investment that it represented for the owner nor the trust he had shown him. Regarding Osman, he said that he had been well paid and that, as a star and leader of the team, it was expected for him to take action in difficult situations. At the same time, he compared the individual performances of players from the two Athens teams against opponents with 1/50 of their budget and claimed that critics would not make this comparison because it would not serve their narrative. He added that, in his estimation, there was money and a strong willingness from the PAOK administration for further changes, if needed. #paokbc #basketball #ΠΑΟΚ #Τρινκιέρι (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)
