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)

Adonis Georgiadis thanked for the publication by Giorgos Amiriadis regarding the NHS. Amiriadis argued that the system had been strengthened and provided data on staff, expenditures, and waiting times. According to the post, the permanent staff of the NHS increased from 90,300 in 2019 to more than 100,000, while together with seasonal staff, it reached 106,000. Expenditures, he reported, doubled from 4.1 billion euros to 8.2 billion euros. He added that renovations and upgrades of equipment were carried out in 236 hospitals and health centers, as well as interventions for digitization and the development of a telemedicine network. Amiriadis stated that 26,800 afternoon surgeries had been performed, 78% in public hospitals and 22% in private hospitals, and claimed that waiting times for surgery over four months had decreased by 98%. He also noted that the average waiting time in emergency departments had decreased by 68%, to less than four hours. The publication also mentioned free prevention programs and exams in remote areas, home delivery or availability of high-cost medications at local pharmacies, online appointments via the My Health app, and checks on private practices through Medwatch. Amiriadis noted that three new hospitals had been scheduled — the Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki and the general hospitals of Komotini and Sparta — as well as a new hematopoietic stem cell transplantation unit at Papageorgiou Hospital. Regarding ambulances, he reported 52 new vehicles and 8 mobile medical units in Attica, 34 new ambulances in Central Greece, and 5 in the Ionian Islands, along with a tender for 255 more by early 2027. He added that nurses were included in the heavy and unhealthy job category. In closing, he raised the question of whether Georgiadis had done more than previous ministers and if he would make additional interventions. #ΕΣΥ #Υγεία #ΔημόσιαΥγεία (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)

Aretí Athanasiou wrote that, although Kimberly Guilfoyle may have stepped away, the revelations were just starting. She mentioned that billionaire businessman Eric Deters, whom she described as a major donor to Donald Trump, had refused to pay $100,000 to Guilfoyle's credit card because, according to her, she did not do what he asked of her and had disclosed personal information about her. Athanasiou noted that Deters appeared in a video claiming that he had a recorded phone conversation from Greece that could damage the Trump administration, Trump himself, Marco Rubio, Suzi Wiles, and J.D. Vance. According to her, Deters also said that he would play the recording the following day and that it could affect the potential electoral duo of Vance-Rubio. Athanasiou added that she was concerned for Deters' safety and hoped he had good protection. #Κίμπερλι #Δημοσιότητα #Πολιτική (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)

The Most Reverend Diaries mentioned that the team would go through periods of decline and defeats, but he asserted that last year at OAKA it shook off what had weighed it down for years, as if breaking a curse. He used abusive and derogatory terms for those he was addressing and accused them of having a big mouth, adding that all he wished for was that everyone would have health. #OlympiacosBC #Basketball #Ολυμπιακός #Αθλητισμός (translated)
