FLORENTIA stated that Turkey selectively used international law to contest the influence of the Greek islands and to claim greater control in the Eastern Mediterranean. She wrote that Kastellorizo had a crucial position, as it, according to her, connected the Greek and Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zones, and claimed that Ankara aimed to place Turkish continental shelf between Greece and Cyprus. Regarding Cyprus, FLORENTIA mentioned that Turkey argued to the west of the island that it was not entitled to a continental shelf, while to the east and south it invoked the rights of islands and signed delimitation agreements with the entity it referred to as a "pseudo-state." According to the post, these moves aimed to involve energy companies with the Turkish Cypriot side and to use natural gas as a means of pressure. FLORENTIA linked Turkish claims to the Turkey-Libya Memorandum and the doctrine of "Blue Homeland," arguing that the goal was for Turkey to gain a regulatory role in pipelines, cables, and investments towards Europe. She also criticized what she described as the contradiction between Turkey's non-accession to the UNCLOS and the invocation of judicial decisions based on it. Finally, she noted that an official European map showed a maritime zone between Crete, Kastellorizo, and Cyprus, which, according to her, Turkey presented as disputed. #Καστελόριζο #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Γεωπολιτική (translated)

Alexis Tsipras mentioned that he met with young people in Volos, at their invitation, and listened to their concerns about the lack of prospects and hope. According to what they told him, many students were working alongside their studies to cover rent and food, while the adverse conditions in student housing led some to delay or abandon their studies. He conveyed that young agronomists were struggling to cover their expenses, as rents and supermarket prices were high, and he referred to a PhD student in aerodynamics who was, he said, working in a flooded laboratory without facilities. Tsipras argued that Greece had become hostile to young people and that opportunities for education, work, and professional development depended either on financial support from parents or connections to the "blue machine." He linked the anger of young people in France to the loss of hope and social inequalities, clarifying that violence was not a solution, but reaction and claims were legitimate. He referred to students who, he said, paid 500 or 600 euros for a room, ate pasta six days a week, and could not attend the university they were admitted to. He added that the lack of student housing and meals exacerbated their situation and argued that social tension could be addressed with conditions of justice. He criticized the government policy regarding the Golden Visa and housing, as well as the decision not to include a housing program in the Recovery Fund, saying that the money was given to "insiders." He proposed as an alternative the strengthening of the social majority and the public sector, with young people having, he said, a crucial role. #Νεολαία #Δικαιοσύνη #ΦοιτητικάΔικαιώματα (translated)

Thanos Tsimeros criticized the mayor of Kalamata, whom he described as supported by New Democracy, for meeting with Rouvikonas. He cited a statement from the organization, according to which representatives had met on Tuesday, October 13 with the mayor and deputy mayor Sarandos Marinakis regarding the problems of the Municipal Philharmonic. The statement mentioned reductions in wages, unpaid hours, understaffing, shortages of equipment, and the suspension of free lessons in Kalamata and the Arfara. It also stated that the municipal authority committed to filling the position of the chief conductor, resuming lessons within a month, new hires, resolving payroll issues, and budgeting for the maintenance of instruments and equipment. Tsimeros described the members of Rouvikonas as violent and claimed that the Ministry of Justice was examining the organization due to characteristics that, according to him, indicated a criminal organization. He further claimed that the organization was calling for gatherings against Israelis via its official page, which he characterized as an offense with a racist motive warranting ex officio prosecution. He added that on the day of the meeting, members had gone to the port of Kalamata to intimidate Israeli citizens who arrived on a cruise ship. He also criticized New Democracy, stating that after seven years in power, it was discussing with Rouvikonas, while comparing its stance to that of SYRIZA, whose members, as he wrote, transported members of the organization by taxi. In closing, he expressed doubt as to whether what he described was actually happening. #Καλαμάτα #Ρουβίκωνας #ΔημοτικάΖητήματα (translated)
