He mentioned that the fighters in the mountains of Northern Epirus proved that victory did not depend solely on the superiority of an army, but also on the values for which they fought. He closed with wishes for many years to come. https://t.co/UfkOfA1znY #1940 #Ελλάδα #Ηρώες #GR (translated)

Amalia challenged the leftist narrative regarding the participation of women in the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) during the Civil War, arguing that their enlistment did not necessarily indicate emancipation. She cited data indicating that about 10,000 women served in the DSE, approximately a quarter of its total strength. Of these, she wrote, 30% participated in combat units while the rest worked in the rear. At the time of the posting, 3,000 of the women were "Slavo-Macedonians." Amalia mentioned that these women were connected to the Anti-Fascist Women’s Front of Macedonia (AFŽ), which was established in Skopje on December 14, 1944, and functioned as the women's section of the NOF. The NOF, she wrote, was founded in Skopje in April 1945 with the initiative and support of Tito and, after an agreement between the KKE and Tito, was incorporated into the DSE. She argued that these organizations aimed for the incorporation of Greek Macedonia into the "Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." Amalia stated that after the Stalin-Tito split in 1948, the KKE established the Nationwide Democratic Women’s Union (PDEG), as it could no longer control the AFŽ. According to the posting, the first event of the PDEG took place on October 25, 1948, in Kallithea Prespa, with 44 women, seven of whom were "Slavo-Macedonians." Chrysa Chatzivassiliou was elected president, who, as she wrote, was described in a misogynistic manner by party officials. She also cited a report by Nikos Zachariadis to Stalin on October 17, 1950, regarding the condemnation of Chatzivassiliou by the 3rd Conference. Regarding the other 7,000 women, Amalia argued that the majority were forcibly recruited. She referenced Markos Vafeiadis's estimate that from mid-1947, recruitment into the DSE had become "entirely violent" and that volunteers did not exceed 10%. She also cited research by the author Tasoula Ververioti on the educational level of women, as well as testimonies about difficult living conditions, shortages of clothing and hygiene products, and health issues. She added that many had suffered sexual assaults. As sources, Amalia cited works by Tasoula Ververioti and Margarita Lazaridou, as well as material from the Philip Hiliou Archive at the ASKI. In the end, she mentioned Mirka Ginova (Irene Gkin), Katina Andrejeva (Andreopoulou), Afrodita Dovalovska, and Jordana Slatnikova, along with their places of origin. #Γυναίκες #Αριστερά #Ιστορία (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis did not answer directly whether the government agreed with the New Democracy MEP Eleonora Meleti, who, according to him, had spoken about employers being blackmailed by employees. According to Avramidis, Marinakis said that Meleti's related reference was limited and that she "must have received" complaints, while adding that he could not know if such incidents existed. Avramidis noted that when asked again whether the government adopted the position of the MEP, the spokesman did not respond with clear agreement or disagreement and referred to the importance of employers creating and paying for jobs. Avramidis commented that the answer portrayed Meleti as a defender of workers, even though, as he wrote, she had referred to employers who were being blackmailed by employees. #Εργαζόμενοι #Εργοδότες #Κυβέρνηση (translated)

Emily Yiolitis accused some of reproducing a misleading title to promote, as she said, "pseudo-patriotism," instead of listening to her entire discussion with Feidias. She added that others did it out of ignorance and others deliberately. Yiolitis stated that she presented her vision for a free, united, and democratic Cyprus, from Paphos to Kyrenia and Rizokarpaso. She declared that she honored the history and sacrifices of the heroes of EOKA and did not question the connection of the Greek national anthem with the struggles of Hellenism. At the same time, she mentioned that she envisioned a common agreement between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots for a truly free Republic of Cyprus, with a common anthem that would express freedom, democracy, and peaceful co-existence. She described a state without constituent parts, divisions, or minority groups of different speeds, where every citizen would have one vote. According to her, such an anthem would not negate the sacrifices of the heroes but would justify them. Yiolitis characterized this position as the essence of her intervention and said that the distortions took her away from its real meaning. She added that she was glad if her statements contributed even a little to a dialogue for the liberation of Cyprus, away from rigidities of the bi-zonal, bi-communal federation type. #Ελευθερία #Δημοκρατία #Πατριωτισμός (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II accused a woman of returning with "fake patriotism" and accused her of distorting her statements. He wrote that she had expressed dissatisfaction with the National Anthem of the Greeks and had called for the liberation of Cyprus from all foreign powers, naming Turkey and Greece. According to him, she had also questioned the interest of Turkey, Greece, and the guarantor powers in Cyprus and had requested that propaganda for Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots be removed from school textbooks. Appelaios claimed that her positions referred to Turkish positions and did not defend history and national rights. He criticized her for speaking about the Bizonal Bicommunal Federation and the heroes of EOKA, while, as he wrote, she had insulted their struggle and memory. He called her disrespectful, ungrateful, historically ignorant, and shameless. #Ελλάδα #Κύπρος #Πατριωτισμός (translated)

A possible solution to the Cyprus problem that can withstand the test of time, that is viable, does not come through our self-denial, but through the respect of our true History. The message that a sustainable solution to the Cyprus problem cannot be achieved through self-denial and the suppression of our History was sent by the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, during his speech at the inauguration of the Heroes Monument of the EOKA Liberation Struggle 1955-1959, in the community of Pyrgos Limassol. #Κυπριακό #Χριστοδουλίδης #ΕΟΚΑ (translated)

Amalia accused Russia of deliberately launching attacks against civilians in Ukraine, citing strikes on apartment buildings, schools, shopping centers, public transport, playgrounds, and bridges. She argued that most of the victims were Russian-speaking individuals in Eastern Ukraine and criticized those who, as she wrote, showed sensitivity towards Palestine and Iran in Greece, but not towards Ukrainians. Regarding the recent strikes, she mentioned that in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, 22 civilians were killed, including 5 children—three of them one year old—and 54 were injured. For Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast, she wrote that two city buses were attacked and 33 people were killed, while the number of injured remained unknown. She added that 9 people were also killed in Kyiv, 2 in Kremenchuk, 2 in Konotop, 2 in Oleksandriia, and 1 in Zaporizhzhia, raising the death toll of civilian casualties over the two days to 71, according to her. Regarding the negotiations with U.S. intervention, Amalia claimed that Zelensky was accepting a ceasefire with the troops in their current positions and was asking for guarantees from the West. She stated that pro-Russian separatist forces controlled 60% of Donetsk Oblast before the Russian invasion of 2022, that since then the Russian army had captured an additional 20%, and that it had not managed to capture the remaining 20%. She asserted that Putin did not want a ceasefire, but a peace agreement that would require Zelensky to go to Moscow, the demilitarization of Ukraine, a constitutional commitment not to seek EU or NATO membership, and the recognition of the territories occupied by Russia since 2014, including Crimea. She added that Russia was also demanding the surrender of the remaining 20% of Donetsk Oblast that it had not captured. Amalia compared the situation to Cyprus, where, as she wrote, since August 1974 a ceasefire had been in effect under UN supervision, without a permanent peace agreement, because Turkey demanded recognition of the loss of territories and the pseudostate. She concluded that Russia sought, in her view, the humiliation of Ukraine and not peace. #Ουκρανία #Ειρήνη #Πόλεμος (translated)

Under President Trump, the United States made its choice. We choose the unapologetic pursuit of national power. Reuters directly links this phrasing to the "America First" agenda, noting that Rubio brought to the forefront values such as heroism, honor, and duty and argued that prioritizing the national interest is not inherently selfish. #ΑμερικήΠρώτα #ΜάρκοΡούμπιο #ΔυτικόςΠολιτισμός (translated)

Vicky referred to a statement by the interpreter Iro, who said that her interest was focused on the mobilizations of tens of thousands of students in Paris and the protests in Spain for the right to decent housing. Iro wondered when people stopped reacting to injustice and devaluation and when humanity and compassion gave way to profit. She added that "filotimo" was lost and that people became unjust, insensitive, and indifferent to others. #Αδικία #Ανθρωπιά #Συμπόνια (translated)

Amalia wrote that Major Panagiotis Stoupas, originally from Lefki Messinia, had participated in the Asia Minor Campaign and in the Greco-Italian War. According to her post, during the Occupation, he created a resistance group in mountainous Trifylia and later joined the national resistance organization "Greek Army" (ES). Amalia mentioned that, following attacks by ELAS and with the intervention of British Major Harrington, the leaders of the ES signed on August 29, 1943, the Dyrrachium Pact, which stipulated the dissolution of the organization and the integration of its members into ELAS. She argued that those who had joined national resistance organizations were at risk, if captured by ELAS, of being forced to join them or be killed. According to her, Stoupas disagreed with the agreement and returned to Lefki. On October 10, 1943, strong ELAS forces surrounded the village, burned his house, and believed he had died, but he had escaped. Amalia wrote that later Stoupas joined the Security Battalions, as, in her estimation, thousands of other Greeks did. The post stated that Colonel Dionysios Papadogkonas, Stoupas's former commander, appointed him commander of the Security Battalion of Meligalas in March 1944. Amalia noted that after the ELAS attack on Meligalas, Stoupas moved to Gargalianoi with 100 men and was not in the city during the days of the massacre. After the collapse of the defense in Gargalianoi, he and his men retreated to Pylos. According to Amalia, when ELAS surrounded Pylos on September 24, local authorities sought a surrender agreement, while ELAS promised that there would be no massacres. She wrote that Stoupas accepted the agreement and committed suicide with his pistol at the castle gate, after saying goodbye to his men. She also cited the post-war testimony of Chris Woodhouse, who, she reported, conveyed words from British journalist Richard Capell in favor of choosing the Security Battalions instead of ELAS. #ιστορία #Ελλάδα #πατριωτισμός (translated)
