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)

The e-Amyna reported that Turkey disputed Greece's jurisdiction to issue NAVTEX for international waters south of Kastellorizo, issuing a related announcement from the Antalya station. It interpreted the move as a possible prelude to the Turkish stance regarding the expected research activities of the GSI. According to the post, the Heraklion station had issued a NAVTEX the previous day for the "EUNOMIA" live-fire exercise on October 19, in the same maritime area. The Antalya announcement, issued the next morning, claimed that the area fell under its jurisdiction and that the Greek station was unauthorized. e-Amyna noted that the area was located along the route of the Greece-Cyprus-Israel electricity interconnection (GSI) and that the research vessel Abeille Marengo was expected to pass through there when the NAVTEX for the activities was issued. https://t.co/0NpV9YsKru #Ναυτιλία #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία (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)
