Completely Exhausted argued that the acquittal of Father Antonios was not the only issue, as, in his opinion, a case had been fabricated against him to strip him of the Ark and the work of a lifetime. He added that there was a lot of money in the field of structures and services for children. He accused the large systemic media of choosing to publish the news 12-14 hours before his post, close to midnight, so that it would go unnoticed and avoid accountability for any potential previous defamation. He mentioned that years ago he had posted the news, arguing that from the testimonies and the admission of the young man that he had been bribed to lie, there was no evidence of Father Antonios' guilt regarding the accusations against him. According to him, well-known accounts had accused him of attempting to cover up rapists. He added that those accounts had now disappeared and wished them to remain so. #Κιβωτός #Αθώωση #ΜΜΕ (translated)

Leonidas Palaiodimos wrote that the case involving Papantonis had raised suspicions of targeting from the very beginning. He stated that the speed with which the state acted, combined with the financial and communicative power that Papantonis had gained, made him think that something was not right. He added that he personally did not like him, partly due to his public image. Palaiodimos mentioned that since the case broke out, he had spoken with several people who were directly aware of the issues at the Ark and that they all told him it was a conspiracy. As evidence, he cited children who, as he wrote, had said that they were made to lie against Papantonis. He believed that this was enough for a prosecutor to investigate who was behind the case. He also noted that dozens of people who had lived in the Ark described Papantonis as someone who had stood by them "like a Father." He noted that, until then, there had been convictions for specific acts of bodily harm, instigation to bodily harm, and threats against children. He wrote that there had been isolated incidents of physical violence as punishment, but argued that these did not correspond to the image presented by the media, in his view. He added that he did not justify violence, while noting that some children in the facilities had difficult pasts and behavioral problems. He concluded that, in his opinion, the scandal might involve those who possibly organized a conspiracy to take the Ark from Papantonis. #Παπαντώνης #Κιβωτός #πλεκτάνη (translated)
