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)

Thanos Tsimeros criticized the mayor of Kalamata, whom he described as supported by New Democracy, for meeting with Rouvikonas. He cited a statement from the organization, according to which representatives had met on Tuesday, October 13 with the mayor and deputy mayor Sarandos Marinakis regarding the problems of the Municipal Philharmonic. The statement mentioned reductions in wages, unpaid hours, understaffing, shortages of equipment, and the suspension of free lessons in Kalamata and the Arfara. It also stated that the municipal authority committed to filling the position of the chief conductor, resuming lessons within a month, new hires, resolving payroll issues, and budgeting for the maintenance of instruments and equipment. Tsimeros described the members of Rouvikonas as violent and claimed that the Ministry of Justice was examining the organization due to characteristics that, according to him, indicated a criminal organization. He further claimed that the organization was calling for gatherings against Israelis via its official page, which he characterized as an offense with a racist motive warranting ex officio prosecution. He added that on the day of the meeting, members had gone to the port of Kalamata to intimidate Israeli citizens who arrived on a cruise ship. He also criticized New Democracy, stating that after seven years in power, it was discussing with Rouvikonas, while comparing its stance to that of SYRIZA, whose members, as he wrote, transported members of the organization by taxi. In closing, he expressed doubt as to whether what he described was actually happening. #Καλαμάτα #Ρουβίκωνας #ΔημοτικάΖητήματα (translated)
