Spyros wrote that the referees he accused of favorable decisions had been found handcuffed at the GADA. He claimed that their team had won a European title, while the refereeing had sparked discussions all over Europe, and he characterized it as the dirtiest team that had ever been in basketball. He mentioned that he did not believe championships would be canceled and that what concerned him was the arrest of those he deemed responsible for the injustice. He added that he would like to see the masterminds as well, but he did not believe the case would reach them. Drawing a parallel between the case and Koriopolis in football, he said that at that time the state had covered up the scandal, resulting in thousands of fans, in his opinion, stopping watching the sport. He wondered if the same would happen now. Finally, he argued that, according to what history had written, Olympiakos under Giorgos Bartzokas had been favored more by the referees and officials who had been convicted of organized crime. #καλαθοσφαίριση #διαιτησία #σκάνδαλο (translated)

FLORENTIA stated that Turkey selectively used international law to contest the influence of the Greek islands and to claim greater control in the Eastern Mediterranean. She wrote that Kastellorizo had a crucial position, as it, according to her, connected the Greek and Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zones, and claimed that Ankara aimed to place Turkish continental shelf between Greece and Cyprus. Regarding Cyprus, FLORENTIA mentioned that Turkey argued to the west of the island that it was not entitled to a continental shelf, while to the east and south it invoked the rights of islands and signed delimitation agreements with the entity it referred to as a "pseudo-state." According to the post, these moves aimed to involve energy companies with the Turkish Cypriot side and to use natural gas as a means of pressure. FLORENTIA linked Turkish claims to the Turkey-Libya Memorandum and the doctrine of "Blue Homeland," arguing that the goal was for Turkey to gain a regulatory role in pipelines, cables, and investments towards Europe. She also criticized what she described as the contradiction between Turkey's non-accession to the UNCLOS and the invocation of judicial decisions based on it. Finally, she noted that an official European map showed a maritime zone between Crete, Kastellorizo, and Cyprus, which, according to her, Turkey presented as disputed. #Καστελόριζο #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Γεωπολιτική (translated)

Alexis Tsipras said he visited a livestock unit where the owner had been forced to cull about 600 sheep 13 months ago. He conveyed that the farmer struggled to return to the barn after the culling and was still not well. Tsipras argued that the handling of zoonoses in Greece was based on mass culling instead of vaccination, resulting, as he stated, in a significant decrease in animal production. He attributed this choice to the government's effort to avoid disclosing problems at OPEKEPE. He claimed that vaccination would lead the relevant EU committees to require a record of livestock, which, according to him, would show that more than half of the subsidies were fictitious and were received by officials affiliated with New Democracy who did not produce. He added that the reconstitution of herds should begin immediately and be fully covered by European resources, according to European rules. He described the situation of the farmers as a cry of anguish, emphasizing that both their survival and their ability to remain in production were at stake. He accused the government of choosing a clientelist network over production and called for a struggle to end what he called a mockery and for farmers to receive what they were entitled to so they could continue to live in their place. #κτηνοτροφία #αγροτικέςπολιτικές #ζωικήπαραγωγή (translated)

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)

Nikos Appelaios II argued that the ratification of the Turkey-Libya memorandum by the eastern Libya parliament, following its ratification by the western Libya parliament in 2019, would provoke diplomatic reactions and strengthen Turkish activity in the eastern Mediterranean. He estimated that energy and bilateral relations would be affected, without changing Greece's legal position. He noted that Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, Israel, and the EU were expected to reiterate that the memorandum is null and produces no legal effects against third countries, as, in his view, it disregards the rights of Greek islands, especially Crete, based on UNCLOS. He added that verbal notes and coordinated European and international positions would be significant. Appelaios called on Athens to intensify pressure on Libya for the delimitation of maritime zones or to finalize the Greece-Egypt agreement of 2020, which, he noted, overlaps with Turkish-Libyan claims. He estimated that Turkey could interpret the ratification as a "green light" for further seismic surveys, geophysical studies, or drilling in the contested areas, as well as for increased naval presence and pressure to accept its claims. According to him, such moves would increase the risk of incidents. He characterized the ratification as a blow to the Greece-Cyprus-Israel axis and said it would complicate Greek research south of Crete. He mentioned that Libya had already reacted to the surveys since August, with a verbal note and a threat to freeze talks. He also estimated that Turkey would seek to exploit the now united Libyan position as leverage for multilateral negotiations. He predicted further rapprochement between Haftar and Turkey at economic, political, and possibly military levels, following the lifting of the 2020 boycott. According to him, this could alter the balance in eastern Libya and have serious implications for cooperation with Greece and Egypt. He clarified that the ratification would not resolve Libya's internal divisions nor would it automatically confer international legitimacy on the memorandum against third parties, but would politically strengthen Turkey and complicate Greek diplomacy. He added that Greece's legal position remained strong and that any potential escalation would depend on Turkish actions and the Greek response. Finally, he criticized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stating that it had not acted in a timely manner, and mentioned that if he were prime minister, he would have already requested the resignation of George Gerapetritis. #Λιβύη #ΕλληνικήΔιπλωματία #ΑνατολικήΜεσόγειος (translated)
