The author wrote that 83 years have passed since the Holocaust of Kallikratis Sfakia and that its memory remains alive, reminding us of the price of freedom. He mentioned that Kallikratis had become a symbol of resistance, sacrifice, and dignity and that those who sacrificed themselves were honored, as well as the strength of a place that, as he wrote, did not bend. https://t.co/WlEQMtK30Z #Καλλικράτης #Ολοκαύτωμα #Μνήμη #GR (translated)
Nikos Moraitis criticized the proposal that someone could work seven days a week, especially during the tourist season, if they wished, calling it extremely neoliberal. He argued that seasonal workers do not have a genuine free choice, as, he wrote, they depend on employers who accommodate them in poor conditions and employ them from morning until night. He added that labor rights are their main defense and accused Stefanos Kasselakis of wanting to put these rights into public discussion in the name of negotiation freedom. Moraitis also claimed that Kasselakis had deceived thousands of people by presenting himself as a modern leftist because his party was portrayed as leftist. He referred to his low political performance, saying "zero point something," and concluded that neither Adonis nor the collaboration with the "good New Democracy" represented, in his opinion, the height of political vileness, which he placed in the present. #εργασιακάδικαιώματα #νεοφιλευθερισμός #πολιτική (translated)

Nikolas Moraitis wrote that Macron proved to be a politician with a limited role, who brought Le Pen closer to power. However, he argued that active cores remained in France that showed their strength, led by the youth. He invoked the legacy of the Enlightenment, modern philosophical thought, Art, and May, stating that these remained living values for some despite the decline of Europe. He contrasted France with Greece, which he described as a society that had abandoned its values. He accused those, in his view, who used the flag as cover for corruption, lies, and self-interest, while also criticizing the admiration for a family he characterized as mafia-like. In the end, he ironically referred to the anticipation of a pass or state benefit and the attribution of blame to those who had tried differently, presenting freedom as limited to the space of a bed and sleeping through the darkest years. #Γαλλία #Μακρόν #ΛεΠεν (translated)

As stated in the Report of the Investigative Committee of the Hellenic Parliament regarding the Cyprus File, in early July 1974, the Commander of the Commandos in Cyprus, Colonel Konstantinos Kompoki, convened a meeting of the Commanders of the Commando Squadrons to announce the implementation of the plan to overthrow President Makarios. The junta members did not invite Katsanis. Not coincidentally. They knew he would not legitimize such a blatant crime. General Katsanis became a symbol of bravery, courage, and patriotism, and the extent of tributes in his name, the camps, the monuments, the busts, the naming ceremonies, and all that has been done in honor of his sacrifice, in Cyprus and Greece, reflect the due recognition of his contribution and sacrifice, said Minister of Defense Vasilis Palamas, in a speech on behalf of the President of the Republic at the presentation of the book "George Katsanis, the Commander of Saint Hilarion and His Legacy." #Κατσάνης #Ελευθερία #Κύπρος (translated)

Charitatos claimed that Ms. Zacharaki and her close associates sought to pressure journalists when they disagreed with what was being said. He stated that if the collaborator did not apologize, he would reveal in the coming days whom he had contacted and what exactly was requested.
