Reporters United raised questions to Minister Adonis Georgiadis about the Israel Allies Foundation and the meeting at the Athens Club, which he reportedly described as non-secret. They asked which MPs, ministers, and businesspeople attended, who was part of the Greek group of MPs from the organization and under what terms, and whether the presidency of the Parliament was aware of its creation. Reporters United stated that, according to a report on August 8, 2024, Georgiadis had received 11 messages infected with Predator in 2021—more than any other target in Greece—and that he had been officially informed by the Data Protection Authority. They asked him why he did not take legal action and whether being targeted by illegal surveillance software 11 times constituted a national security issue for a high-ranking minister. The outlet also claimed that filming and photographing the minister in public space while performing his duties was a right of journalists and did not violate his personal data. Finally, it reminded that, as reported, its investigations had led Georgiadis to withdraw on May 30, 2025, a secret contract bearing his signature for the transfer of DNA of hundreds of thousands of infants to private individuals. #Δημοσιογραφία #Πολιτική #Δικαιοσύνη (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis wrote to Mrs. Denaxa that, in his opinion, the main problem of France was that its citizens had not realized the changes in the world. He mentioned the protests that took place a few years ago against the increase of the retirement age from 62 to 64 and argued that this mentality would lead to an increase in debt and ultimately harm the country. He also attributed the weakening of the foundations of French society to uncontrolled immigration, which he characterized as a political choice of decades and not of Emmanuel Macron. Regarding the recent events in France, he said they were shameful and expressed his sorrow for the country, stating that schools were being burned by people who, as he wrote, claimed to care about education. He added that those who were not in power also bore responsibility, since they had a public voice and influence and shaped mentalities. #Γαλλία #πολιτική #κοινωνία (translated)

P.G. Papanikolaou asked why the person he was addressing did not mention the meeting or their presence before the Reporters United report, if the meeting was public and not secret.

Adonis Georgiadis thanked for the publication by Giorgos Amiriadis regarding the NHS. Amiriadis argued that the system had been strengthened and provided data on staff, expenditures, and waiting times. According to the post, the permanent staff of the NHS increased from 90,300 in 2019 to more than 100,000, while together with seasonal staff, it reached 106,000. Expenditures, he reported, doubled from 4.1 billion euros to 8.2 billion euros. He added that renovations and upgrades of equipment were carried out in 236 hospitals and health centers, as well as interventions for digitization and the development of a telemedicine network. Amiriadis stated that 26,800 afternoon surgeries had been performed, 78% in public hospitals and 22% in private hospitals, and claimed that waiting times for surgery over four months had decreased by 98%. He also noted that the average waiting time in emergency departments had decreased by 68%, to less than four hours. The publication also mentioned free prevention programs and exams in remote areas, home delivery or availability of high-cost medications at local pharmacies, online appointments via the My Health app, and checks on private practices through Medwatch. Amiriadis noted that three new hospitals had been scheduled — the Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki and the general hospitals of Komotini and Sparta — as well as a new hematopoietic stem cell transplantation unit at Papageorgiou Hospital. Regarding ambulances, he reported 52 new vehicles and 8 mobile medical units in Attica, 34 new ambulances in Central Greece, and 5 in the Ionian Islands, along with a tender for 255 more by early 2027. He added that nurses were included in the heavy and unhealthy job category. In closing, he raised the question of whether Georgiadis had done more than previous ministers and if he would make additional interventions. #ΕΣΥ #Υγεία #ΔημόσιαΥγεία (translated)

Déjà vu wondered when Samaras became a good choice for Lazopoulos. It linked this change to Karamanlis' statement, through journalist Takis Chatzis, that he would not support a Samaras party, and described the development as predictable and amusing. #Σαμαράς #Λαζόπουλος #πολιτική (translated)

Aris Hatzistefanou wrote that, according to the image, Netanyahu had seen settlers trying to lift the Washington Post photojournalist, who had fallen to the ground. He wondered if it was a coincidence that this specific country, as he claimed, was supported only by liars and political fraudsters, like those who attended the dinners of the Israeli lobby. https://t.co/4bYBp7YH10 #Ισραήλ #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)

Maria Karystianou criticized Adonis Georgiadis, saying that, in her opinion, he had shifted the public discussion from the issue of transparency to ideological confrontations and attacks on those who hold power. She argued that the participation of Greek ministers and MPs in meetings with foreign lobbying groups in a private club was not a private matter and that politicians were held accountable daily, not just in elections. Karystianou stated that the journalistic record of the participants in such meetings did not constitute intimidation, but rather was part of press freedom. She added that foreign policy and the defense of national interests should, in her view, be conducted institutionally, with transparency and respect for international law. In the postscript to her statement, she referred to public statements by Georgiadis and Maria Pagoni regarding a bioresonance machine, which, as she wrote, had a European CE marking and had not been previously verified. She also mentioned that she had information about leaks from the ministry concerning her alleged participation in a company that conducted chemotherapy without a license. She claimed that she only operated her own clinic, accused the minister of targeting her, and stated that he would lose. #Διαφάνεια #Δημοκρατία #Ελευθεροτυπία (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)

Victor Serge wrote that, without reporters.gr, the public would not have been informed about the Israeli lobby, which he claimed was comprised of New Democracy, PASOK, and the far right. He presented the work of the medium as an example of investigative journalism and accused other journalists of moving around the Maximou Mansion while having business interests, being employers, having connections, and appearing on television. #δημοσιογραφία #έρευνα #ισραηλινόλωβι (translated)

Kostas Vaxevanis wrote that Documento had received complaints that Michalis Bekiris, the director of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' office, did not have a degree, even though his biography in Parliament stated that he graduated in Social Sciences with a degree from France. He himself noted that the newspaper's investigation did not locate a publication of Bekiris' appointment in the Government Gazette. According to Vaxevanis, when Documento asked Bekiris for his appointment and degree, he replied that he was offering voluntary services alongside Mitsotakis, in a position outside government structures, without clarifying whether he had a degree or from which French university. The journalist argued that advisors to prime ministers and ministers should be appointed and checked by law, whether they are compensated or not, and cited as an example the unpaid advisor at the Ministry of Culture, Anna Panagiotarea. Vaxevanis linked the issue to a previous publication by Documento, according to which Bekiris had bought a house in Patras at half the price. #Πολιτική #Διαφάνεια #Κοινωνία (translated)
