Dvs Dvs criticized the economic policy of Andreas Papandreou and his governments, arguing that Greece lost ground compared to other European countries in the 1980s. According to the data he presented, in 1980 the average Greek was 17% richer than the average Irishman, 8% richer than the Spaniard, and 28% richer than the Portuguese. By 1990, he wrote, he was 6% poorer than the Irishman and 8% poorer than the Spaniard. Regarding public debt, he noted that it increased from 21% of GDP in 1980 to 68% in 1990 and 94% in 1993. He clarified that Papandreou was not in power during the period 1991-1993, but attributed much of the increase to the difficulty of containing deficits that, according to him, had been created during his administrations. He added that expenditures of the broader public sector rose from 48% of GDP in 1981 to 70% in 1988, while the budget increased from 625 billion drachmas to 3.2 trillion drachmas. During the posting, inflation reached 25% in 1985, and the country then had foreign reserves for only a few weeks. Dvs Dvs also mentioned that the percentage of taxes paid by wage earners and pensioners increased from 52.1% in 1980 to 63.2% in 1986, while productivity decreased by 5.5% and unemployment rose from 2.7% to 7%. He cited a GDP increase of 6.8% in Greece, compared to 26% in the rest of Europe, and argued that the economy remained stagnant, with low productive investments and most borrowing directed towards consumption. He also accused the government of borrowing to distribute money and secure votes. #ΠΑΣΟΚ #Οικονομία #Ιστορία (translated)

Amalia claimed that the Bulgarian occupation in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace continued from September 9 to October 26, 1944, with the complicity of the EAM. She wrote that this period was omitted by leftist historiography and that, after the communist-controlled Patriotic Front took power in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian forces did not withdraw from the Greek areas that had been ceded by the Germans. According to her, the EAM followed a "brotherhood" line with the occupiers and had agreed to the annexation of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace to Bulgaria. She also claimed that Soviet officers and soldiers had arrived in Komotini, Xanthi, and Drama, saying they were waiting for units for operations in Thessaloniki. Amalia stated that George Papandreou informed Churchill, who requested from Moscow and Sofia the complete withdrawal of the Bulgarian troops; according to the post, they left on October 26. Amalia added that Bulgaria attempted in July 1946, at the Paris Peace Conference, to claim Western Thrace with the support of the USSR, but the British rejected the request. As sources, she cited works by V. Kontis and S. Sfetas, Andreas Papandreou, Vasileios Kontis, and Chris Woodhouse. #Βουλγαρία #Ιστορία #Κατοχή (translated)

Aretí Athanasiou wrote that Lakis Lazopoulos criticized Kyriakos Mitsotakis for the possibility of a third term, stating that then he could impose a direct dictatorship. In her post, Lazopoulos referred to Karamanlis, who, as he said, did not secure a third term and left for Paris before the junta, as well as to Venizelos, who rose to power 14 times without having three consecutive terms. Athanasiou also mentioned that Lazopoulos said that Papandreou, after completing two terms and going through the Special Court, returned for a third. She added that he connected the possibility of Mitsotakis's third term with whether he was prepared to face the Special Court, as he claimed that Triantopoulos requested him as a witness to testify that Mitsotakis himself ordered the filling. #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα #Δημοκρατία (translated)

If George Papandreou had accepted my proposal to request a qualified majority of three-fifths for the vote on the first memorandum, as was necessary for historical and political reasons, things would have developed completely differently for all of us. According to Mr. Venizelos, PASOK backed away from the idea of a broader majority, "believing that the memorandum must be voted through at all costs in order to secure the loan and avoid an uncontrolled bankruptcy," while there was also "naivety" in thinking that "we will handle the memorandum, the country will be saved and we have no reason to share the..." #Βενιζέλος #Δαμανάκη #μνημόνιο (translated)

🔴Stefanos Sarafis: "Commander of ELAS, by spitting." 🔴As I have emphasized many times, immediately after the German attack against the USSR, Stalin instructed the communist parties of the occupied countries to organize guerrilla warfare, primarily to harass the Germans, forcing them to maintain strong military forces in these countries, which, otherwise, would have been transferred to the eastern front. 🔴In Greece, a secondary objective of EAM - ELAS was to monopolize the guerrilla movement, to be the only armed force in the country after liberation, and to seize power by force. For this reason, according to G. Papandreou, the tactic was as follows: "It does not allow anyone else to rise to the mountains and fight the occupier. It punishes with death the Greeks who fulfill their patriotic duty. A former example is the present colonel Sarafis..." 🔴So, let's talk about Colonel Sarafis, who was made head of ELAS. He was born in 1890 in Trikala, graduated from the Non-Commissioned Officers School and became a second lieutenant in 1913. He sided with the Venizelists and actively participated in the failed military movements of 1933 and 1935. 🔴During the occupation and after discussions with various individuals about creating a resistance organization, a five-member committee was formed (Sarafis, Grigoriadis, Panopoulos, Chatzimpeis and Simos Vlachos), which evolved into the AAA Organization (3A, Struggle – Restoration – Independence). With the approval of the others, Sarafis went to Thessaly to form a guerrilla unit. 🔴After contacts he made there, he moved to Epirus, where on February 7, 1943, he met with Zervas and the representative of the Middle East Command, Colonel Eddie Myers, and they agreed to form guerrilla groups, with three sections: Epirus, led by Zervas; Thessaly, led by Sarafis; and Roumeli, led by Psarros. 🔴As soon as the news spread in Thessaly, EAM considered that with Sarafis’s reputation in the area, he could become a very dangerous opponent. Thus, initially, the mechanism of his moral extermination was put into operation, with the accusations that he was "a collaborator of the Italians" and "a man of the occupied prefect of Trikala." After the slanders did not succeed, EAM decided to take more drastic measures. 🔴After a trap, they treacherously captured him and other armed leaders, as well as 150 guerrillas who followed them. Ultimately, EAM decided that it would be preferable to force him to join ELAS rather than kill him. So, they locked him in a dungeon, and following orders, ELAS guerrillas would pass in front of him, spit on him and label him a "traitor," to break his spirits. 🔴When faced with the dilemma of "ELAS or the grave," Sarafis preferred to save his life. Of course, the communists exploited his joining to convince other former officers who hesitated to join ELAS due to the bad reputation that accompanied him. Of course, the position they gave him, that of the military leader of ELAS, was more "decorative," as decisions were made by the "chief captain" Aris Velouchiotis and the political commissioner Andreas Tzimas. 🔴The results of recruiting officers were mediocre because it had become known how Sarafis was forced to join ELAS. It is historically recorded, the phrase of politician Georgios Kartalis to Sarafis: "You were made commander of ELAS by spitting." 🔴What would have been Sarafis's fate if the KKE had prevailed? There is no doubt that he would have met the same fate as all the "fellow travelers" of the communists around the world. In the first "cleansing," he would be labeled a "agent" and "enemy of the people" and would be taken to the firing squad! Specifically, Sarafis would certainly be labeled an "agent of the Intelligence Service," as he had married British archaeologist Marion Pascoe. 🔴The comments are yours! #Σαράφης #ΕΛΑΣ #Κατοχή (translated)

Κοιτάξτε το γράφημα. Ένα-ένα. Πράσινο έχει μόνο ο Μητσοτάκης. Και μάλιστα βαθύ πράσινο: -18,7%. Ο Ανδρέας Παπανδρέου παρέλαβε χρέος 27% του ΑΕΠ και το παράδωσε 61%. Αύξηση 124%. Εκεί γεννήθηκε το τέρας. Ο Γιώργος Παπανδρέου το πήρε στο 129% και το άφησε στο 165%. Ο Σαμαράς το ανέβασε κι άλλο. Ο Τσίπρας τέσσερα χρόνια: -0,2%. Δηλαδή τίποτα. Η χώρα στον αναπνευστήρα, το χρέος ακίνητο, η οικονομία στάσιμη. Και μετά ήρθε κάποιος που δεν έβγαζε συνθήματα για «σκίσιμο μνημονίων». Παρέλαβε 176,6%. Σήμερα 143,5%. Μείον 18,7%. Η μεγαλύτερη αποκλιμάκωση χρέους ως προς ΑΕΠ σε 45 χρόνια. Όχι με μαγικά. Με πρωτογενή πλεονάσματα, ανάπτυξη και επιστροφή στις αγορές. Αυτοί που σήμερα κουνάνε το δάχτυλο είναι οι ίδιοι που γέμισαν τον λογαριασμό. Το γράφημα δεν έχει κόμμα. Έχει αριθμούς. Και οι αριθμοί είναι αμείλικτοι. #Με_τον_ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟ_ΜΗΤΣΟΤΑΚΗ #Ελλάδα #Οικονομία #Χρέος

Ο Μητσοτάκης στην #ΔΕΘ2026 δεν παρέλειψε να επαναλάβει τον αστικό μυθο, ότι το χρέος το δημιουργησε ο Ανδρέας Παπανδρέου. Είπε συγκεκριμένα, ότι κακώς μιλάνε για καλές εποχές ΠΑΣΟΚ γιατί δήθεν τότε ο Ανδρέας, στην 10ετια του "90, εκτίναξε το χρέος στο 100% του ΑΕΠ. Η πραγματικοτητα ειναι οτι ο Ανδρέας παρελαβε το χρέος στο 1,6δισ.(22,6% του ΑΕΠ) και το παρεδωσε στα 22,6δισ.(60,7% του ΑΕΠ). Εκείνος όμως, που μέσα σε μόλις 3 χρόνια πρωθυπουργιας εκτίναξε το χρέος στο 101,7% του ΑΕΠ και το υπερτριπλασιασε σε απόλυτο αριθμό (73,4 δισ.) ήταν ο πατερας του, ο Κωνσταντίνος Μητσοτάκης. Στην συνέχεια ο άλλος μεγάλος "νοικοκύρης" πρωθυπουργός, ο Κώστας ο Καραμανλής, που το 2003 παρέλαβε το χρέος στο 104,3% του ΑΕΠ (181,5 δισ.), κατάφερε μεχρι το 2010 να το διπλασιάσει φτάνοντας το στα 330,7 δισ (147, 8% του ΑΕΠ). Ο ίδιος δε ο Κυριάκος, που παρέλαβε το χρέος στα 339 δισ. το έχει φτάσει αισίως στα 363 δισ. Αυτή είναι η αλήθεια, αλλά ο μεγαλύτερος ολετήρας της Εθνικής Οικονομίας, της Δημόσιας περιουσιας, του πρωτογενους τομέα, των μικρών και μεσαίων επιχειρήσεων και των ελληνικών νοικοκυριών δεν διστάζει να πλαστογραφει την Ιστορία, να μπαζώνει τα "κατορθώματα" του πατερα του και γενικά να ψεύδεται ασύστολα. Οχι βέβαια γιατί δεν ξέρει την αλήθεια, αλλά γιατί υποτιμάει συστηματικά την νοημοσύνη των ακροατών του. Και γιατί μπορεί να το κάνει εκ του ασφαλούς, αφού κανένας από τους επίλεκτους νάνους δημοσιογράφους, που συμμετέχουν στις συνεντευξεις του, δεν τολμάει ποτέ να τον ανακαλέσει στην τάξη. #Μητσοτάκης #Ελλάδα #χρέος
