Amalia claimed that Russia was instigating unrest in France, Italy, and Albania, aiming to weaken support for Ukraine. She cited a publication by Visegrad, according to which French intelligence had confirmed the role of Russian bot networks in the riots. She referred to the speech of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in parliament on October 14, stating that she had advocated for continued aid to Ukraine. According to Amalia, Meloni had asserted that support for Kyiv was necessary for peace and described the agreement on Russian diesel as "very dangerous." Amalia claimed that the unrest in Italy began three days after the speech and attributed a leading role to leftist and anti-fascist circles, as well as to migrants from North Africa. Regarding Albania, she cited statements from Prime Minister Edi Rama, who, she said, had spoken about tens of thousands of fake profiles on social media linked to Russian influence during the so-called "Flamingo Revolution." Amalia also claimed that radical left demonstrators had tried to instigate unrest in Spain but were intercepted by the police. She also referenced a complaint from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez regarding Russian disinformation about immigration policy and linked the issue to the arrival of 60,000 migrants in Ceuta at the end of July. In conclusion, she called for no tolerance in Athens the following day. #Ουκρανία #Πούτιν #Ευρώπη (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that 1,500 artisanal bakeries closed within three years, of which 1,200 for economic reasons. He cited the president of the Professional Chamber, who, according to him, stated that more bakeries had closed than during the Occupation. He added that professionals claimed their energy costs had increased by 40%. Avramidis noted that the four largest energy groups had shown operational profitability exceeding 1 billion euros in terms of EBITDA in 2025 from energy production, trading, and supply activities. He mentioned that he asked the government if it planned to intervene in the market and the profits of the groups to reduce costs for small businesses. According to Avramidis, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis referred to the greatest energy crisis in history, previous state interventions, and the taxation of windfall profits, while stating that retail electricity prices in Greece were lower than the European average. Avramidis stated that he raised the question of how the closure of small businesses coexisted with the high profitability of energy groups, asking for a specific new measure for bakeries. In his account, Marinakis responded again referencing already implemented measures, fixed household tariffs, and comparatively low electricity prices in Greece, without announcing new support for bakeries. Avramidis argued that the government response did not address the issue of small businesses and that the energy crisis had different consequences for small professionals and large groups. He said that for the former it could mean closure, while for the latter it coexisted with profits of hundreds of millions of euros. #ενεργειακήκρίση #οικονομία #φούρνοι (translated)

Alexander Itimoudis argued that Greece had entered a period of reorganization of its military machine due to the increased threat from Turkey. He linked the effort to rationalize tax collection with the need to fund the development of the Greek defense industry. According to him, Turkey had a larger military industry and continued to invest in it, even at the expense of its citizens' living standards. He mentioned that the external debt of the two countries was 590 billion and 564 billion respectively, but that Turkey's debt corresponded to a smaller percentage of GDP due to its larger economy. He added that a country must be able to mobilize resources, borrow, and produce military material to respond to a potential conflict. Itimoudis stated that since Greece was still not competing with Turkey in numbers, it was investing in qualitative force multipliers. These included the Air Force and Navy, satellite data, and system interoperability through the "Achilles Shield," digitization in Belhara frigates and F-35s, exercises with Israel and Egypt, as well as cooperation in the field of intelligence with Israel and the acquisition of systems such as Spike NLOS and Spice. He also emphasized that, in his opinion, a country should be able to transfer expertise between the political sector and the military industry. He argued that Greece remained trapped in small businesses that were not innovative and in economic activities such as catering and tourism, which he deemed inadequate for resource mobilization in the event of a conflict. According to Itimoudis, Greece's actions since 2019 aimed to address the growing power disparity with Turkey. He said that rapid structural changes were required but faced intransigence both within and outside the state, and he urged readers to calmly confront what they heard and read, arguing that it did not reflect the actual situation. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΠολεμικήΒιομηχανία (translated)

Maria Denaxa wrote that she did not remember another case of a French president whose name had been so closely associated with the country's destruction while, according to her, he shifts the blame onto others. She argued that for a decade France has been facing fires, from Notre-Dame de Paris and Bordeaux to the historic town hall of Limoges on the night of her post, as well as thefts in famous museums. Denaxa also mentioned that significant businesses were closing or becoming part of foreign interests, that education and health had collapsed, and that the country was on the brink of bankruptcy. According to her, French debt increased by one trillion euros during Emmanuel Macron's presidency, taxation had become unbearable, and many French people said they could no longer meet their food needs. She added that the strengthening of the extremes was attributed to immigrants and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, even though, as she noted, they neither governed nor made decisions. In a postscript, she referred to her critics in a derogatory manner and claimed that critical thinking and straightforwardness did not belong exclusively to one ideological side. #Γαλλία #Μακρόν #πολιτική (translated)

Maria Denaxa criticized the minister, saying that Emmanuel Macron linked his name to the destruction of France and blamed others. She argued that the country had been facing problems for a decade, from the fires at Notre-Dame de Paris to Bordeaux—which, according to her, were connected to cuts in firefighting measures—and to the historic town hall of Limoges, up to thefts in museums, which she attributed to cuts and staff reductions. She also mentioned that major businesses were closing or being acquired by foreign interests, while education and health had collapsed. According to her, the country was close to bankruptcy, and French debt had increased by one trillion euros under Macron. She added that many French people could no longer meet their needs, taxation was unbearable, and extremists were gaining strength. She accused the government of blaming immigrants, the far left, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, even though, as she wrote, they did not govern or make decisions. In a postscript, Denaxa noted that, in her opinion, critical thinking and straightforwardness did not belong exclusively to a specific ideology. #Γαλλία #Καταστροφή #Πολιτική (translated)
