Plakiasnikos wrote that when Velopoulos presented photos of animal bones instead of the human remains that, as he mentioned, were included in the case file, no opposition member protested. He pointed out that even Konstantopoulou, who, according to him, was involved in the case and had been friendly to him, his brother, and their wives, did not react. He attributed the opposition's stance to their unwillingness to appear supportive of Floridis and accused the MPs of putting petty political interests above respect for the dead. He wondered what would have happened if photos of his own children's bones had been presented and added that he was trying to protect the rest of his family. He also questioned whether other family members were aware of the remains and biological material. In closing, he used derogatory terms for the MPs and criticized them as public servants. #Ελλάδα #Πολιτική #Βουλή (translated)

Nikolas Apelaios II described the days leading up to the Italian attack on Greece, from October 23 to 27, 1940, stating that the Greek ambassador in Rome had informed the government that the attack was expected between October 25 and 28. According to him, Italian reconnaissance aircraft were photographing military points of interest, while senior Greek officials considered the attack imminent. Apelaios reported that on October 24, Ioannis Metaxas recorded in his diary rumors of an attack the next day and informed the chiefs of staff to remain in Athens or to notify where they were. On October 25, according to the post, Metaxas informed the Cabinet about the concentration of Italian troops at the border, and the government rejected both substantial territorial concessions and symbolic gestures toward Italy. He noted that Metaxas and his ministers did not attend the premiere of the opera "Madama Butterfly" at the Royal Theater on October 25, in the presence of Antonio Puccini and Curzio Malaparte. From the government, as he wrote, Deputy Foreign Minister Mavroudis and Deputy Minister of Press Nikolidis attended. The next day, Ambassador Politis reported that the Athens–Rome airline had been suspended until further notice. In his narrative, at the reception of the Italian embassy on October 26, Ambassador Grazzi was often absent, while on the upper floor the ultimatum to Greece was being dictated from Rome. Nikolidis called Metaxas early on October 27 regarding reports of incidents at the border. Apelaios noted that the Athens News Agency denied the news at 04:00, following an order from Metaxas. Apelaios also wrote that, on October 27, Greek and Italian officers met to discuss the incidents, while the Greek government was receiving information about the movements of Italian units towards the border. He added that shortly after Metaxas left his office, information arrived from the Italian embassy that a declaration of war was imminent, but it was decided not to inform him. According to him, the Prime Minister's car departed for Kifisia without him knowing the information. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #ΔεύτεροςΠαγκόσμιοςΠόλεμος (translated)

The Proper Greek Analyst wrote that, according to a report by the Financial Times on October 16, 2026, Italy had secured a preliminary agreement with the European Commission for an intervention mechanism in wholesale electricity prices when the price of natural gas exceeded 59 euros per MWh. He mentioned that the mechanism was based on the Iberian Exception. The author added that the bill proposed an increase of two percentage points in the IRAP tax for the years 2026 and 2027, with estimated revenues of 1.08 billion euros for the Italian state during the period 2026-2028. According to the post, the additional revenues would be directed towards reducing electricity bills for specific businesses. He also cited a statement from the Italian Prime Minister that the agreement would allow intervention in the way electricity prices were set, in order to address the impact of natural gas costs. The Proper Greek Analyst wondered why Greece was not seeking a similar intervention and criticized Greek journalists for not highlighting the development, as he wrote. In the post, he compared their stance to that of Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the European Council. https://t.co/pAWnS2oBWc #ενεργεια #ρευμα #Κομισιον #καύσιμα #ενεργεια #ρευμα #καύσιμα (translated)

DrDp wrote that he had seen a photograph in which, according to his post, personal and confidential medical data of a deceased person were publicly exposed. He asked whether the Medical Association of Athens (ISA) found this exposure acceptable and how many ethical violations could be justified for television viewership. He pointed out that the details of the prescription could not, in his opinion, be known randomly and requested an investigation into who had leaked them to the journalist. He added that the information might have come from a doctor or pharmacist who had access to it. DrDp also accused ISA of having already contributed to the problem through omissions and alleged checks at the Kolonaki clinic and that his silence regarding the photograph constituted a second insult to the memory of the person. He concluded that medical ethics and dignity do not cease to matter after death, adding the hashtag #Mazanakis. #apokalypseis #ιατρική #δεοντολογία #δημοσιότητα (translated)

The article states that, after the massacres on Chios in 1822, women and children were transported as captives to the slave markets of Smyrna and Constantinople. It invoked a letter sent that spring from Constantinople by Dutch diplomat Gaspar Testa, in which he described captured children and women from Chios, some of whom had papers with the name and address of their owners. According to the post, by May 1, 1822, more than 41,000 slave ownership documents, known as "teskeredes," had been issued. The article mentioned that, according to the French-language newspaper of Smyrna, Spectateur Oriental, by May 10, customs duties for about 40,000 slaves had been paid at the city's customs. It also cited English sources, stating that the population of Chios before the destruction was approximately 110,000: about 20,000 fled or remained on the island to cultivate mastic, approximately 45,000 were killed, and the rest were sold as slaves. The post stated that the attack began on March 30, 1822, and that, according to the orders attributed to the Sultan, boys aged 3–12 and women aged 12–40 would be captured, while the others would be slaughtered. It described rapes, torture, and murders of civilians, as well as women who committed suicide or resisted to avoid capture. Citing the account of the priest Welsh from the English embassy in Constantinople, the article noted that about 500 women from Chios were sold in the fish market and that their prices ranged from 100 groats to 3 pounds per person. It added that similar scenes unfolded in Smyrna, where women and children were transported in chains and sent to the homes of those who had bought them. Finally, it cited Chian journalist Panagiotis Xenakis and "The Machine of Time," mentioning that the island remained devastated for years after 1822. #Χίος #ΕλληνικήΕπανάσταση #Σκλαβιά (translated)

FLORENTIA argued that archaeological findings indicated the movement of Minoans beyond the Aegean, to the highlands of Anatolia. She compared Minoan Civilization with the Kingdom of Urartu, which she placed in the 9th to 7th century BC, and mentioned similarities in economy, technology, and worship. Referring to excavations, among others at Garibin Tepe, she said that Urartian ritual vessels, containers, and rhyta exhibited similarities with the Minoan ones. She added that the bull had a central symbolic role in both cultures and associated Minoan worship with the worship of the Urartian god Haldi. FLORENTIA also mentioned that both societies possessed palatial or fortified structures under the control of a priestly or royal elite, while public rituals were part of daily life. She also presented as common elements the central control of goods such as wheat, wine, and oil, as well as the use of clay seals. In the management of water, she compared the Minoan networks with the Menawa Canal, which she stated was 30 miles long, and with the rock-cut reservoirs of Urartu. Finally, she compared the collapse of Minoan centers and the disappearance of Linear A with the burning of Urartian fortifications and the loss of cuneiform writing. She suggested the possibility that the Urartians maintained elements of an older Aegean tradition of mysteries and techniques, rather than being influenced solely by the Assyrians, and announced that she would return with more details. #Αρχαιολογία #ΜινωικόςΠολιτισμός #ΟυραρτικόςΠολιτισμός (translated)

Dvs Dvs posted a text attributed to Kostas Kapo, who wrote that he met Stamatis a year and a half ago when he invited him to his show to discuss the woodcutters of Tempi. He mentioned that he appreciated the straightforwardness of the questions and his ability to guide the discussion, characterizing this type of journalism as preferable to interviews with pre-agreed questions. Kapo noted that Stamatis had other business activities and that journalism was a personal passion for him. He added that, in a conversation with Theodoros Panagos in Patissia, he had asked him why he chose One instead of a larger nationwide channel. According to Kapo, Stamatis replied that at One, the ownership did not interfere in his work and that his show had greater viewership than similar programs from major channels that aired at the same time. Kapo expressed his belief that Stamatis would soon return to another channel, possibly with a different format for the show, and wished that Ion would also join his team. #δημοσιογραφία #συνεντεύξεις #ΜΜΕ (translated)
