Thanos Tsimeros argued that the European Union should not finance magazines with taxpayers' money, regardless of their themes. He mentioned that he learned about Bebe Magazine - Trans Issue from an interview with an artist who performed in a cabaret and from a message from a friend of his related to Belgium. According to what he cited from his friend's message, the publication promoted positions of the trans and queer communities and received funding through the EU's Erasmus+. His friend mentioned that the coordinator was the Belgian Bebe Books.vzw and that the Flemish organization JINT participated in the funding. He cited two grants that, as he reported, he found on the Erasmus website: €57,200 for the period 31/12/23–30/12/24 and €34,500 for the period 15/12/25–14/12/26. Tsimeros said that his friend had filed a complaint with JINT, EACEA, as well as with officials from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, and had also communicated with Greek MEPs. According to his description, he planned to appeal to the European Ombudsman after receiving responses from the agencies or after the expiration of a two-month deadline. #Φόροι #ΕΕ #Κουλτούρα (translated)

Zastro wrote that Panathinaikos won 5-1, showing improvement and good football, although, as he noted, Asteras created dangerous counterattacks in the first half. He appreciated that the difference in quality showed later on and that, despite Papakanellos' goal for 2-1, the hosts did not allow the Arkadians to come back. He mentioned Lousa and Calabria as the top performers. Regarding the Moroccan, he said he was decisive in the buildup and ball circulation, with two assists and one goal, while he noted that the Italian improved his performance in the second half and was one of the five different scorers. He also highlighted Deser's goal and Salah Edin's appearance, while he characterized the center-backs as stable, despite some individual mistakes. Zastro mentioned that Antino had great intensity but would need a rest, and that Tamborda participated in the buildup for the 5-1. Regarding Andreas, he noted that he needed to improve his collaboration with his teammates. He positively commented on the return of Tsiriveghia, while he wrote that Garcia was not in the mood and Rastonder did not show up. As a negative point, he mentioned the potential muscle injuries of Unai and Yakusich. He added that Unai would have an MRI the next day to determine the extent of the problem. Finally, he referred to the presence of old acquaintances at OAKA, highlighting Mike Galakos and Rene. #ποδόσφαιρο #Παναθηναϊκός #πρωτάθλημα (translated)

Alexander Itimoudis argued that Greece had entered a period of reorganization of its military machine due to the increased threat from Turkey. He linked the effort to rationalize tax collection with the need to fund the development of the Greek defense industry. According to him, Turkey had a larger military industry and continued to invest in it, even at the expense of its citizens' living standards. He mentioned that the external debt of the two countries was 590 billion and 564 billion respectively, but that Turkey's debt corresponded to a smaller percentage of GDP due to its larger economy. He added that a country must be able to mobilize resources, borrow, and produce military material to respond to a potential conflict. Itimoudis stated that since Greece was still not competing with Turkey in numbers, it was investing in qualitative force multipliers. These included the Air Force and Navy, satellite data, and system interoperability through the "Achilles Shield," digitization in Belhara frigates and F-35s, exercises with Israel and Egypt, as well as cooperation in the field of intelligence with Israel and the acquisition of systems such as Spike NLOS and Spice. He also emphasized that, in his opinion, a country should be able to transfer expertise between the political sector and the military industry. He argued that Greece remained trapped in small businesses that were not innovative and in economic activities such as catering and tourism, which he deemed inadequate for resource mobilization in the event of a conflict. According to Itimoudis, Greece's actions since 2019 aimed to address the growing power disparity with Turkey. He said that rapid structural changes were required but faced intransigence both within and outside the state, and he urged readers to calmly confront what they heard and read, arguing that it did not reflect the actual situation. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΠολεμικήΒιομηχανία (translated)

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)

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)

Adonis Georgiadis wrote that when Antonis Samaras was prime minister, among his fiercest critics were the newspaper "Demokratia" and Lakis Lazopoulos. He claimed that the newspaper currently supports Samaras in order to undermine Kyriakos Mitsotakis and that Lazopoulos urged citizens yesterday to vote for him, saying he knows how to govern, also aiming to harm Mitsotakis. Georgiadis mentioned that in Samaras's position, he would be troubled seeing that the most fervent supporters of his party's creation were those who had criticized him the most. He added that, in his estimation, Lazopoulos had successively supported Androulakis, Karytsianou, Zoi, Tsipras, and Kovesi, hoping to unseat Mitsotakis, and that now he was placing his hopes on Samaras to divide New Democracy. He concluded that Lazopoulos's previous choices had failed and that the Greek people would not dismantle the country after so many struggles and sacrifices. #πολιτική #Ελλάδα #Σαμαράς (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)

Nikolas Apelaios II described the days leading up to the Italian attack on Greece, from October 23 to 27, 1940, stating that the Greek ambassador in Rome had informed the government that the attack was expected between October 25 and 28. According to him, Italian reconnaissance aircraft were photographing military points of interest, while senior Greek officials considered the attack imminent. Apelaios reported that on October 24, Ioannis Metaxas recorded in his diary rumors of an attack the next day and informed the chiefs of staff to remain in Athens or to notify where they were. On October 25, according to the post, Metaxas informed the Cabinet about the concentration of Italian troops at the border, and the government rejected both substantial territorial concessions and symbolic gestures toward Italy. He noted that Metaxas and his ministers did not attend the premiere of the opera "Madama Butterfly" at the Royal Theater on October 25, in the presence of Antonio Puccini and Curzio Malaparte. From the government, as he wrote, Deputy Foreign Minister Mavroudis and Deputy Minister of Press Nikolidis attended. The next day, Ambassador Politis reported that the Athens–Rome airline had been suspended until further notice. In his narrative, at the reception of the Italian embassy on October 26, Ambassador Grazzi was often absent, while on the upper floor the ultimatum to Greece was being dictated from Rome. Nikolidis called Metaxas early on October 27 regarding reports of incidents at the border. Apelaios noted that the Athens News Agency denied the news at 04:00, following an order from Metaxas. Apelaios also wrote that, on October 27, Greek and Italian officers met to discuss the incidents, while the Greek government was receiving information about the movements of Italian units towards the border. He added that shortly after Metaxas left his office, information arrived from the Italian embassy that a declaration of war was imminent, but it was decided not to inform him. According to him, the Prime Minister's car departed for Kifisia without him knowing the information. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #ΔεύτεροςΠαγκόσμιοςΠόλεμος (translated)

KatiApoZebra wrote that citizens in many European countries had risen against corruption and high prices. She contrasted this by saying that here, as she mentioned, the reactions were to say that these things had always happened, that nothing could be done, and that quantities had been reduced or blankets would be used. She closed by criticizing those who, according to her, viewed the situation this way, using an offensive term. #διαφθορά #ακρίβεια #πολίτες (translated)
