Leonidas Palaiodimos wrote that the sale agreements for 27 of the country's largest archaeological sites and museums, including the Acropolis, were granted for 50,600 euros per month and a 2% share of the revenues. He compared the price to the rent of a large store in Kolonaki and mentioned that around 5 million people visited the Acropolis in 2025, while the list also included Knossos, Mycenae, Olympia, and Delphi, along with another 22 sites. Palaiodimos also noted that the gross profit margins on souvenirs ranged from 50% to 60% and that only one bid was submitted in the competition. According to him, there was no substantial competition that could influence the price. #Αρχαιολογία #ΕλληνικήΚληρονομιά #Πολιτισμός (translated)

Farmer Chris Freeman warned that the reduction in the number of producers could, in his estimation, lead to a food crisis and high prices in the coming years. Citing data from ELSTAT and Eurostat, he mentioned that in Greece, only 7.2% of agricultural farm managers were under 40 years old, while almost 65% were over 55 and 37.1% were over 65. For Europe, he said that the percentage of farmers under 40 was 10.7% and the average age was 57 years. Freeman claimed that 300,000 farms were lost in 15 years and that 75,000 farmers abandoned their work in just the last year. He added that costs for fertilizers, oil, and animal feed had increased by 100%, while the real value of production had decreased by 25.5% in 2023, to the lowest recorded level. He estimated that in the coming years, 200,000 farmers over 65 would need to be replaced, along with another 150,000 aged 55-64, but there would be no young people to take over the farms. He warned that fields might remain uncultivated and that Greece might depend on imports, which he linked to Mercosur and described as triple the price. He called on consumers to prefer products from local producers, even when they cost the same, and asked if there were any young farmers in their villages. #αγροτικήανάπτυξη #διατροφικήκρίση #στηρίξτετονπαραγωγό (translated)

FLORENTIA wrote that, in anticipation of October 28, video content was expected on social media that, according to her, would reiterate arguments about Greek history from 1940. She predicted that their creators would attribute the Greek resistance to the use of pitch, would associate an 18th-century French card player with contemporary Greek identity, and would present Greece's victory as an accident. She also mentioned that they would argue that Italy had been provoked by Greece and would use footage of Greeks throwing flowers at German motorcyclists in 1941 as a sign of hospitality. FLORENTIA criticized the use of material from SS archives and argued that such narratives aimed, in her opinion, to overshadow agreements of friendship and non-aggression with Berlin and the shipment of chromium to the German war industry. She also referred to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the collapse of the front, and the sinking of the submarine Elli in Tinos. #Ιστορία #Γαστρονομία #Προπαγάνδα (translated)

Spyros wrote that Kendrick Nunn had aimed to deeply understand Greek history and culture, beyond his successes with Panathinaikos. He mentioned that Nunn was studying ancient Athens, Pericles' democracy, and Socrates' philosophy with his family while visiting places like the Agora and the Acropolis. He added that if Nunn continued at this pace, he might need help from the passport office. #Παναθηναϊκός #ΕλληνικήΙστορία #Πολιτισμός (translated)

The author of the post mentioned that inflation was putting pressure on Greek families every day and that the government was obliged to take substantial measures, which, he said, existed and could be implemented. He wondered whether the government was willing to confront interests that he described as alien and argued that until then it had not shown such an intention.   #ΝΙΚΗ https://t.co/xul5nsbUsd #Ακρίβεια #Ελλάδα #Κυβέρνηση #GR (translated)

Chris Avramidis published a text attributed to Giannis Androulidakis, who criticized journalist Stamatios Zacharos for questioning whether Eriet Molcho was on the train in Tempi or if she ever existed. Androulidakis argued that in the future there may be factions of the Greek Right that will claim there were no deaths in Tempi. He stated that he had attended Molcho's funeral and had seen her classmates crying, which he wrote was evidence for him that she existed and died. He added that journalism must hold power accountable. Androulidakis claimed, citing data from GEMI and the General Secretariat for Information, that Zacharos was collaborating with the government as a businessman and shareholder of The Cube. According to him, the company had sextupled its turnover in the last four years by providing services for conferences under the auspices of the government. He also mentioned direct assignments totaling 160,000 euros, in which, he wrote, he was included. Finally, he wondered if ESIEA should expel Zacharos from its registers, stating that questioning Molcho's existence was considered by some extremists to be an insult to the dead. #Τεμπη #δημοσιογραφία #Ελλάδα #έλεγχος_εξουσίας (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that he had repeatedly asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis if US Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle had said that the US could provoke political change in any country, including Greece. According to him, Marinakis had responded that there was no issue of threat, but he had not explicitly denied that the specific words were said. Avramidis mentioned that the Wall Street Journal had reported that Marinakis did not answer directly if Guilfoyle had referred to Romania as a precedent. He added that when he pressed with a related question, the government spokesman referred to his previous answers and eventually said he had nothing to add. He wrote that the matter had reached the US Congress: Gregory Meeks, chair of the Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had sent a letter to Marco Rubio asking for answers regarding Guilfoyle's behavior. According to the Committee's statement, the allegation was that the ambassador had invoked Romania and said that the US could provoke similar political change in other countries, including Greece. Meeks was calling for her removal if the allegations were found to be accurate. Avramidis added that, according to journalist Thanasis Koukakis, there appeared to have been a process initiated to preserve records, so that any potentially useful evidence for future checks or investigations would not be destroyed. He mentioned possible records like emails, SMS, messages on apps, and meeting calendars, while noting that the relevant publication clarified that the process itself did not constitute prosecution or finding of illegality. Regarding Greece, he wrote that Minister Stavros Papastavrou had spoken in Parliament, where Alexandros Kazamias asked him if the controversial phrase had been said. According to Avramidis, the minister did not answer the question and referred to the performance of his ministry and the relations between Greece and the US. Avramidis also criticized the cost of American natural gas and concluded that it remained unanswered whether the specific words had been said. #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #Πολιτική (translated)

Avgerinos Thanassis reported that President Putin appointed today a new ambassador of Russia to Greece, the 66-year-old Yuri Gorlats, who was the head of the Crisis and Emergency Situations Center of the Russian Foreign Ministry and had previously served at NATO headquarters and in European affairs. He wrote that the change of ambassador, after 12 years, might indicate that the Kremlin was taking into account the messages from the majority of Greek society and a significant part of the Greek elite. According to him, these groups wanted the fastest possible restoration of relations and rejected military escalation, which he associated with European bureaucracy. He also characterized as a clear and proven mistake the Greek government's choice to take the lead in the rupture of relations with Moscow. #Ρωσία #Ελλάδα #Διπλωματία (translated)
