Chris Avramidis wrote that Pavlos Marinakis had met with Kimberly Guilfoyle on September 16 and described their conversation as "extremely productive and substantial." According to Avramidis, less than a month later, Donald Trump requested her resignation amid allegations and reports regarding her behavior. Avramidis mentioned that he asked what was discussed in the meeting and whether topics related to the Vertical Corridor and the business interests surrounding it were raised. In his description, Marinakis initially responded by criticizing those who found the meeting problematic, while later stating that among the topics were the embassy press releases and the communication of the visits of American officials. Avramidis cited reports indicating that Guilfoyle was asking businessmen for hundreds of thousands of dollars, even to pay off her luxury Mercedes. He added that, according to reports, she had made derogatory comments about Greeks during the crisis. Regarding the Vertical Corridor, Avramidis wrote that Marinakis responded that the agreement was signed before Guilfoyle arrived in Greece. He clarified that his questions concerned the subsequent processes and the business interests surrounding the implementation of the project. According to Avramidis, the government spokesperson extensively presented the energy strategy, mentioning among others ExxonMobil, Chevron, Bergam, Rubio, Houston, and Ukraine, but responded negatively to the question of whether he discussed these issues with Guilfoyle. Avramidis added that Marinakis hinted that those who disagreed with the Vertical Corridor might, albeit inadvertently, express the positions of neighboring countries. He argued that the project would increase the prices consumers would pay and stated that he would continue to ask government officials about their meetings with foreign officials and the interests surrounding multi-billion dollar agreements. #Κυβέρνηση #ΕπιχειρηματικάΣυμφέροντα #Διπλωματία (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)

Chris Avramidis stated that he asked the Greek government about reports from the Daily Mail and the Wall Street Journal regarding Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and AKTOR lobbyist Christos Marafatsos. According to what he cited from the Daily Mail, Guilfoyle allegedly requested $250,000 from Greek businessmen to pay off her luxury Mercedes. The Wall Street Journal, as he mentioned, wrote that the paid lobbyist Marafatsos accompanied the ambassador to official government meetings, without the interlocutors always knowing which company he represented. Avramidis said he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis who the businessmen were, whether they had transactions with the public sector, which meetings with ministers the lobbyist participated in, and whether possible conflicts of interest would be checked. According to the journalist, Marinakis replied that the issue did not fall under the government's competencies, accused him of adopting the reports, and referred him to the press offices of the ministries. Avramidis added that the government spokesman said the government could neither dismiss nor adopt the reports. The journalist argued that the questions regarding the lobbyist's meetings with ministers, whether they knew which company he represented, and whether the contacts for potential conflicts of interest would be examined remained unanswered. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)

Chris Avramidis commented on the departure of Kimberley Guilfoyle, accusing the Mitsotakis government of not asking her to retract offensive remarks about Greeks. He noted that suicides had increased by 35% during that period and criticized the ambassador for her stance towards the Greek people. Avramidis claimed that the Vertical Corridor would serve the sale of American liquefied natural gas in Europe, benefiting American multinationals and Greek oligarchs, while consumers would pay higher prices. He also linked the case to a report from the Wall Street Journal, which stated that AKTOR paid $160,000 to a lobbyist who illegally participated in official meetings with Guilfoyle, while she was promoting the company to governments in the Balkans. He accused the Greek media of not sufficiently covering the issue and asked why SKAI withdrew a related publication, suggesting that the decision might be connected to the business interests of shipowner Alafouzos. He also claimed that Guilfoyle had threatened that the Greek government could fall and compared this reasoning to the Apostasy of 1965 and the junta of 1967. Finally, Avramidis estimated that AKTOR might lose money and accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of potentially offsetting losses with direct assignments. He linked the company to the Tempi incident, criticizing the delays in restoring railway signals and the attribution of responsibility to a stationmaster. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ενέργεια (translated)

Maria Denaxa wrote that the ruling parties in Greece accepted and adapted, as she claimed, without many hesitations or reactions to the diplomacy associated with Kimberly Guilfoyle, which she described as based on a "bar aesthetic" made in the USA. She added that the privileged interlocutors and sponsors of this diplomacy may be called to account before American justice sooner or later. At the same time, she accused the Greek justice system of ignoring what was being revealed. Denaxa referred to a video for the newspaper Dimokratia. #διπλωματία #Ελλάδα #πολιτική (translated)

Kostas Vaxevanis wrote that politicians in Greece who had been photographed with the US ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle may remove the photos and reconsider their memories. He argued that their visits had no substantial institutional content but referred to the doctrine of ambassador John Purifoy, whom he described as a person who managed political affairs in Greece. He added that the stance of politicians towards the Greek dimension of "Guilfoyle Gate" would show whether their photo ops expressed submission. #ΚιμπερλιΓκιλφόιλ #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα (translated)
