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)

Anavaloglou Georgios mentioned that Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated in Brussels on 16/10 that the government would not distribute money for political reasons. He contrasted the policies of other countries, saying that Italy planned to tax banks with a target of 5 billion euros in revenue by 2027, the Netherlands aimed to impose an extraordinary contribution of 617 million euros, and Austria would extend an additional contribution of 300 million euros for the same year. He added that Slovakia would maintain an increased tax rate for banks in 2027 as well. Regarding refineries, Anavaloglou said that Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, and Austria had requested a windfall tax from the Commission, while Greece was not among those countries. He cited pre-tax profits of 1.998 billion euros for the two Greek refineries in the first half of 2026, compared to 210 million euros in the corresponding period last year: 891.7 million for Motor Oil and 1.106.4 million for HELLENiQ. He also referenced an interview on ERT on 17/9, where, according to him, Mitsotakis said he preferred money to be returned to citizens through fuel prices rather than collected by the state budget. Anavaloglou noted that the refineries received subsidies of 277 million euros, while the heating allowance increased by only 52 million euros compared to last year. He concluded that this was a political choice and raised the question of whether the Prime Minister sought to be popular with citizens or with those, as he wrote, who profited from the crisis and from whom he sought electoral support. #πολιτική #φορολογία #Ελλάδα (translated)

The post stated that the Guilfoyle case had caused significant communication and political damage to Trump, as it occupied the American media and dominated television discussions.

Elli~♡ mentioned that Pavlos Aslanidis, father of Dimitris, stated that he would continue to fight for his son and those who were killed in the Tempi disaster. He said that the family received the coffin closed and without documents, not even a death certificate, and held the funeral without having details. Aslanidis stated that the family requested toxicological, imaging, and histological examinations. According to what he said, the request was accepted, but the family was still waiting for a suitable laboratory to be found abroad. The last update he had, he added, was that a laboratory in the Netherlands had been found, and the Justice Ministry was expected to prepay the costs. He also said that his son was burned along with 27 other children and that, in his opinion, there was no indictment for the reason they were burned. He stressed that he went to the trial to seek justice and not to talk about his pain. #Δικαιοσύνη #Τέμπη #Ελλάδα (translated)

The author of the post argued that banks thrived with the support of the government, while citizens and small and medium-sized enterprises were under pressure. He mentioned net profits of €4.63 billion in 2025 and over €2.5 billion in the first half of 2026, while also noting a 25.3% increase. https://t.co/B8uhaMIP8b #Τράπεζες #Κοινωνία #Οικονομία #GR (translated)

Effie Kavoura wrote that the new bill for the taxation of cryptocurrencies in Greece stipulated a 10% tax on capital gains, an exemption for annual net gains up to €500, and the possibility of offsetting losses for up to 5 years, under certain conditions. She also mentioned that it included tax regulations for staking and lending. She noted that the bill was in public consultation until October 22 and argued that, after years of uncertainty, the market needed clear rules. She added that, in her opinion, appropriate regulation could allow space for innovation to develop. #Crypto #Greece #Regulation #Crypto #Greece #Regulation (translated)

Chris Avramidis argued that inflation burdened citizens and that inflation was not inevitable, as he wrote, the money leaving one side ended up on another. He noted that refineries reported profits of about 1 billion euros in the first half of 2026 and described the sector as an oligopoly essentially consisting of the Vardinoyannis and Latsis groups. He accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of allowing them to go unchecked and pointed out that proposals had been made to address the situation. He raised the question of why there was a profit cap at gas stations but not at refineries, reminding that a cap had been implemented in 2022 by New Democracy. Avramidis also supported the immediate extraordinary taxation of refineries. He said he had repeatedly brought the issue to the government spokesman and mentioned that a similar measure had been implemented in several countries, including Poland under Donald Tusk's government, whom he described as right-wing. Regarding the effects of inflation, he noted that general inflation could be set at 5.1%, but that rate, in his opinion, did not reflect the real burden on the poorest. He explained that large increases in everyday goods, such as milk, food, and other essentials, were offset in the general index by smaller increases in categories like insurance and financial services. He added that lower incomes spent a larger portion of their money on the goods that had risen most in price. In closing, he thanked Kontra and Konstantinos Maravelidis for the invitation. #Ακρίβεια #Πληθωρισμός #Οικονομία (translated)

A few days ago, in an incredibly cynical statement, the EU told the peoples of its member states that 50 million of them, due to energy prices, have to choose this year: Either they will spend money to feed themselves and therefore will be cold, or they will spend money to warm themselves and therefore will starve! According to the EU Energy Commissioner, the reason for this is the energy crisis... Now let's explain to the Commissioner and the local sycophants why the cause of this cannibalism is "Capitalism, you idiot": — The total GDP of the EU is nearly 18 trillion euros. — In 2025, military spending by member states reached 418 billion euros, marking an increase for the 11th consecutive year. — In 2026 (when households must choose between food or heating) military spending is expected to rise to 454 billion euros, an increase of 8.6% compared to 2025 and 75.3% compared to 2021. — In 2025, investments in the defense sector (military industry) showed an impressive increase of 23% compared to 2024, reaching an unprecedented high of 134 billion euros. In fact, this upward trend will continue in 2026, when investments in the defense sector are expected to reach almost 163 billion euros. This is an increase of 158.7% compared to 2021! — In the first half of 2026, according to an analysis by the European organization Transport & Environment (T&E), only 8 oil companies collected about 7.5 billion euros in excess profits within the EU. Six of these large companies (BP, Shell, Eni, Orlen, Repsol, and OMV) doubled their profits in the European market in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter of 2025, taking advantage of high prices for refined fuels. — Major energy companies operating in Europe and Britain have surpassed 26.2 billion pounds in profits since the beginning of 2026. — The net profits of the 500 largest companies in the EU based on revenue reached 547 billion euros in 2025. — The top 10 banks in Europe in 2025 had annual profits of 92 billion euros, marking an increase of 8% compared to 2024. This is the reality for the EU of monopolies. The capitalist Union that on the one hand enriches a handful of parasites who appropriate wealth, which has a fortune for the coffers and the cogs of the war economy, and on the other hand orders the millions of workers who produce the wealth to decide whether they will starve or whether they will be cold... #ΕΕ #Καπιταλισμός #ΕνεργειακήΚρίση (translated)

«Τα διαφυγόντα κέρδη όσον αφορά το παρελθόν είναι αδιανόητα. Έχουν χάσει ομάδες πρωταθλήματα, έχουν χάσει προπονητές τα μπόνους τους, έχουν χάσει στόχους, έχουν μείνει εκτός Ευρώπης επειδή έβγαινε η…City.» Ευτυχώς ειπώθηκαν αυτά για το…αγγλικό ποδόσφαιρο! 2026 φτάσαμε. #paofc https://t.co/EtyVcnfqXS #ποδόσφαιρο #Αγγλία #αθλητισμός

Η βενζίνη σημειώνει τιμές - ρεκόρ που την κατατάσσουν 9,8% πάνω από τον μέσο όρο της Ε.Ε., την ώρα που Motor Oil και Hellenic Energy στο πρώτο εξάμηνο του 2026, καταγράφουν καθαρά κέρδη πάνω από 1 δισεκατομμύριο.

Στη συνάντηση κορυφής μεταξύ Τραμπ και Σι, οι δύο ηγέτες επιχείρησαν να προωθήσουν μηνύματα σταθερότητας σε μια βαριά ατζέντα που περιλάμβανε θέματα όπως η εμπορική σχέση και η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη, ενώ οι δημοσκοπήσεις δείχνουν τη Νέα Δημοκρατία να διατηρεί διαφορά από την ΕΛ.Α.Σ. και κέρδη για το ΠαΣοΚ. #Διπλωματία #ΗΠΑ #Κίνα

Αποκλειστικό! Διυλιστήρια: Εκτόξευση-ρεκόρ +850% στα κέρδη, «αφωνία» της Αθήνας στην Ευρώπη. Όπως και το 2022 είμαστε στο μη παρέκει της προκλητικότητας από την ΑΧΑΛΙΝΩΤΗ ΚΕΡΔΟΦΟΡΙΑ των ΔΙΥΛΙΣΤΗΡΙΩΝ στην Ελλάδα. Το Α Εξάμηνο του 2026 τα κέρδη προ φόρων των δύο διυλιστηριων σε σχέση με το 2025 ΕΚΤΟΞΕΥΤΗΚΑΝ ΣΤΟ +850% (+1,79 δις)!!! Σε σχέση με το 2021 έχουν αυξηθεί 394%, σε σχέση με το 2024 έχουν αυξηθεί 162%, σε σχέση με το 2023 είναι στο +267%!!! Ενώ η κυβέρνηση περί άλλων τυρβαζει - σήμερα έβγαλε ανακοίνωση που αναφέρει ότι “τα διυλιστήρια συνεισφέρουν ήδη με εκπτώσεις άνω των 30 εκατ. ευρώ τον μήνα, έχουν διαθέσει 87 εκατ. ευρώ από τα μέσα Ιουλίου και αυτή η συνεισφορά αναμένεται να συνεχιστεί”- τα κέρδη προ φόρων του Α ΕΞΑΜΉΝΟΥ 2026 των δύο διυλιστηριων φθάνουν τα 1,998 δις αυξημένα κατά 1,2% σε σχέση με το 2022, όταν χρειάστηκε να επέμβει η Κομισιόν με Κανονισμό και να φορολογήσει από 33% ως 90% τα υπερκέρδη των διυλιστηρίων. Μόνο 5 χώρες έχουν στείλει στην ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή επιστολή με την οποία ζητούν νέα πανευρωπαϊκή έκτακτη εισφορά στα υπερκέρδη υπερκερδών των διυλιστηρίων και ανάμεσα σε αυτές ΔΕΝ ΣΥΓΚΑΤΑΛΕΓΕΤΑΙ Η ΕΛΛΑΔΑ , η οποία προφανώς - χωρίς αιδώ- κλείνει τα μάτια στα συμφέροντα: “At the end of August, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Austria and Italy sent a letter to the European Commission calling for a windfall tax. They are arguing for such a tax in the longer term to help finance the energy transition. But right now, they also want it as a way of responding to the current energy crisis.” https://t.co/AkmZxLDEyh #βενζινη #πετρελαιο #ακρίβεια #βενζινη #πετρελαιο #ακρίβεια
