Chris Avramidis wrote that, in a briefing for political reporters, he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis if the government agreed with Kyrianakis, whom he presented as the secretary of New Democracy, that the KKE is an authoritarian party that does not believe in democracy. According to him, he asked the question three times, without Marinakis stating whether he agreed or disagreed. Avramidis noted that Kyrianakis, while he had started to criticize Ilia Kasidiaris, attacked the KKE and equated communism with Nazism. He also mentioned that he reminded Marinakis of the photos from the execution of 200 communists in Kaisariani and asked if there is any historical evidence that equates the executioners with the executed. In his description, Marinakis referred to victims of Stalinism, European Day of Remembrance, and the legalization of the KKE by New Democracy, instead of answering the question. Avramidis said he countered with the names of Chalkidis, Tsarouhas, and Halvatzis, whom he connected with persecutions and torture by the Greek dictatorship. The journalist ultimately accused New Democracy of politically covering Nazis and argued that Kyrianakis's stance politically legitimized Kasidiaris. He compared the climate to that of 2013 and referred to Takis Baltakos, who, as he wrote, had conversed with Kasidiaris back then. #antifa #ΚΚΕ #Ναζισμός #Κομμουνισμός (translated)

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)

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)

Chris Avramidis wrote that Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis attributed to Pano Routsis and the other relatives of the victims of the Tempe tragedy an intention to obstruct the trial through a hunger strike. According to Avramidis, Floridis presented the strike as the last major effort to prevent the trial from starting and questioned the motives of the relatives regarding the exhumations. Avramidis argued that documents revealed by MEGA showed that the relatives were requesting specialized examinations to determine how their loved ones died. He mentioned that state experts had identified a laboratory in the Netherlands that agreed to carry them out, but the prosecutor's office continued to seek clarifications, and the exhumations had not progressed, placing the responsibility on the state. He added that he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis if he agreed with Floridis, and that Marinakis initially defended the minister, saying he answered "very correctly." When Avramidis asked if he agreed that the hunger strike of a father who lost his child aimed to obstruct the trial, Marinakis, according to the journalist, avoided answering directly. Later he stated that he did not characterize Floridis' statement as accurate, while Avramidis noted that he had previously said the minister responded "very correctly." He concluded that despite repeated questions, the government spokesman did not clarify whether the government agreed with the minister's accusation. #Τεμπη #Τεμπη_εγκλημα #Τεμπη #Δικαιοσύνη #Απεργία_Πείνας (translated)
