Vassilis Papandreou wrote that in the homeland there were many things that caused laughter and sadness and with which people joked, perhaps because there were no alternatives. He added that fascism, neo-Nazis, and their representatives, which he claimed were becoming part of the prevailing trend again, were not among these. #φασισμός #νεοναζί #κοινωνία (translated)

Dimitris Savvidis wrote that in the past it was heard that lignite production was of strategic importance for the country’s energy mix and that nothing different would be said in Kozani. He added that, as he mentioned, this year they blew up the machines there, accompanying the post with ironic references to "stability" and "foresight." #σταθερότητα #διορατικότητα https://t.co/ko5lj0Rff0 #ενέργεια #Κοζάνη #παραγωγή (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II praised a man he did not name, saying that despite the mockery, slander, and threats he faced, he defended his homeland instead of accepting what, according to him, was offered to him and leaving. He claimed that for almost five years he has forced Russia to fight for every inch of land and that, while he is counterattacking, Donald Trump appeared to betray him. Appelaios said that the man had earned the respect of every honest and rational person and that History would remember him as an indomitable fighter and faithful defender of his homeland. For Vladimir Putin and Trump, he used derogatory terms, saying that History would record them as an invader and accomplice, whom he also referred to in a derogatory manner. #Πατρίδα #Ιστορία #Ελευθερία (translated)

Emily Yiolitis accused some of reproducing a misleading title to promote, as she said, "pseudo-patriotism," instead of listening to her entire discussion with Feidias. She added that others did it out of ignorance and others deliberately. Yiolitis stated that she presented her vision for a free, united, and democratic Cyprus, from Paphos to Kyrenia and Rizokarpaso. She declared that she honored the history and sacrifices of the heroes of EOKA and did not question the connection of the Greek national anthem with the struggles of Hellenism. At the same time, she mentioned that she envisioned a common agreement between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots for a truly free Republic of Cyprus, with a common anthem that would express freedom, democracy, and peaceful co-existence. She described a state without constituent parts, divisions, or minority groups of different speeds, where every citizen would have one vote. According to her, such an anthem would not negate the sacrifices of the heroes but would justify them. Yiolitis characterized this position as the essence of her intervention and said that the distortions took her away from its real meaning. She added that she was glad if her statements contributed even a little to a dialogue for the liberation of Cyprus, away from rigidities of the bi-zonal, bi-communal federation type. #Ελευθερία #Δημοκρατία #Πατριωτισμός (translated)

My_name_is_Nobody wrote that the billions that will be spent to make the KAAAN operationally capable, which he described as a 4.5 generation fighter at best with critical foreign subsystems like the engine, may have been the best Erdogan could do for the homeland of his ancestors. #στρατηγική #εθνικήασφάλεια #αμυντικήπολιτική (translated)

We stand at the easternmost edge of the country. From here, where our homeland begins, we send a clear message. Our national sovereignty and our sovereign rights in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean are strong and non-negotiable, because they are based on international law of the sea and on rules without exceptions. A clear message to Turkey for respect for international law and the defense of national sovereignty was sent a little while ago from Kastellorizo by the president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, as part of his two-day visit to the border island. #Αιγαίο #ΕθνικήΚυριαρχία #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο (translated)

Thanos mentioned that he saw people who were labeled as far-right by those who wanted, as he said, to save their homeland, now wishing for Rubio to become president. He added that he agreed but criticized some for a lack of memory or dignity, noting that Rubio had spoken about the need for measures against irregular immigration. https://t.co/5S9V4VJone #πολιτική #πατρίδα #μετανάστευση (translated)

Leonidas Palaiodimos wrote that M. Rubio did not go to the Pnyx to thank the Greeks for Democracy, but to present an ideological manifesto. According to him, Rubio highlighted patriotism, ambition, rivalry, courage, and desire for the unknown, placing particular emphasis on what he called "anger." Palaiodimos noted that during the speech, these virtues were connected to the journey from Athens and Rome to Christian Europe and western dominance. He added that Rubio warned about the guilt towards history, homeland, and nation, as well as about policies that prevented losses, international bureaucracy, deindustrialization, mass immigration, weakening of defense, and cession of sovereignty. As Rubio's proposal, Palaiodimos described the return to a nation that was not ashamed of its power and collaborated without ceding its sovereignty. He estimated that Rubio spoke as a representative of a hegemonic state and presented the manifesto of the then American government. He also added that he believed his words were liked by the Greeks, while he stated he was unsure of the reaction of the "so-called elites." #Δημοκρατία #Πατρίδα #Ιστορία (translated)

FLORENTIA challenged a post about Drama and Serres, which, as she wrote, mentioned 300,000 dead Muslims, coercion of survivors to convert to Christianity, and concealment of events from Europe for 80 years. She characterized these claims as unhistorical and cited the Ottoman census of 1906/1907, according to which the total Muslim population of the Sanjak of Serres, which included Drama, was below 175,000. Regarding the period of the Second Balkan War, in June and July 1913, she stated that the cities were under Bulgarian occupation. She referenced a report by the Carnegie Foundation from 1914, which, as she claimed, recorded that the retreating Bulgarians burned more than 4,000 houses in Serres and killed hundreds of Greek civilians. She added that the Greek Army stopped the destruction and that, based on records from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it had guaranteed by proclamation the safety, property, and religious freedom of all residents. According to her, the Muslims who remained in Macedonia retained their religious rights and their mosques until the Population Exchange. FLORENTIA also stated that, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, approximately 350,000–400,000 Muslims were organized and peacefully relocated from Greece to Turkey. She countered that the number of 1.5 million referred to Greeks from Asia Minor and Pontus, whom, as she wrote, were violently displaced or exterminated by the Young Turks and the Kemalist regime. She concluded by arguing that turning tourist destinations into tools of hatred through false claims and distortion of historical evidence constituted a new practice. #Ιστορία #Δράμα #Σέρρες (translated)

Nikos Apellaios II described Marco Rubio as an old-fashioned politician and said that his speech at the Pnyx reminded him of times when politics was an art. He described it as an excellent projection of his homeland by a good friend and wished to see Rubio soon in the highest office of his country. #Πολιτική #Ομιλία #Πατρίδα (translated)

Karditsastakra wrote that Chrysanthi, 36 years old and a dentist, closed her practice and left the national health system because she refused a mandatory medical procedure. According to him, this decision left her without a salary, insurance, or the possibility of finding another job, along with thousands of health workers. The author mentioned that Chrysanthi faced poverty for a year, participated in protests, and demanded to return to her job. He asserted that she had no substantial support from medical associations, politicians, colleagues, or other entities and that the financial and psychological pressure contributed to her decision to end her life. Karditsastakra attributed the responsibility for her situation to the state and criticized the government's stance toward health workers who refused the mandatory medical procedure. He also referenced a statement by Stelios Petsas that Chrysanthi did not adapt and argued that she chose to resist. He concluded by saying that Chrysanthi will remain, in his view, a symbol of the struggle for freedom and dignity, and called for the imprisonment of those he considered responsible for her death. #Ελευθερία #Δικαιώματα #Ανθρωπισμός (translated)

Kostas Vaxevanis wrote that the arrest of the president of LAOS, Philippos Kampouris, for fraud against the State confirmed, in his opinion, the saying that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. He argued that Kampouris claimed to defend the homeland while stealing from it, and that hyper-patriotism served as a cover. He characterized Kampouris's image as hyper-patriotic and cheap and presented it as a sample of the era. #πολιτική #διαφθορά #πατριωτισμός (translated)

The author of the post argued that references to "calm waters" do not, in his opinion, align with the teachings of the "Blue Homeland" in Turkey's school textbooks or with an agenda for the partition of Cyprus. He also stated that Greece had retreated twice in Kasos, adding that Mr. Syrrigos had mentioned this. https://t.co/In9gnVhrKe #Κύπρος #Τουρκία #Εκπαίδευση #TR #CY (translated)

Sampani Konstantina wrote that, in her opinion, when a supporter of New Democracy spoke of the homeland, they meant the party, while when referring to prosperity and quality of life, they spoke of their own. She added that by provisions she meant the direct assignments from which, as she claimed, they would benefit, and that they considered the Parliament a palace and themselves heirs. #ΝΔ #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα (translated)

Akis Gabriel mentioned that the images showed the welcome by the Bulgarians of the bones of Tsar Samuel, which, as he wrote, returned to Bulgaria after more than 1,000 years and following negotiations with Greece. He argued that the decision benefited Greece geopolitically both in the Balkans and in its relations with countries that, according to him, refused to return Greek national treasures, such as the Marbles belonging to the Acropolis. He characterized the government decision as positive and the criticism it received as irrational. #Βουλγαρία #Ελλάδα #Βαλκάνια (translated)

The Alliance of Greeks stated that it was a collective effort aimed at Greek patriots and nationalists, unlike most parties of the post-dictatorship era, which it characterized as personalist.

Amalia wrote that a recent report by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the heroization of Nazism and racism included a separate chapter on Greece. She stated that her post was not addressed to the Left and argued that some leftists supported Vladimir Putin's regime in the hope of reviving the USSR, which she considered unlikely. At the same time, she criticized those who identified as right-wing and, according to her, idealized Russia as a country of traditional values, opposed to irregular migration and globalization, and friendly to Greece due to Orthodoxy. According to the excerpts of the report she provided, the Russian ministry accused Greece of not recognizing a Turkish national minority in Thrace, but only a Muslim one, which included Turks, Pomaks, and Roma, totaling over 120,000 people. The report allegedly also mentioned restrictions on the use of the term "Turkish" by associations, state appointment of muftis, and concerns of the UN Committee on Racial Discrimination regarding the self-determination rights of the community. Regarding Kos and Rhodes, according to Amalia, the report claimed that Muslims were not recognized as a minority and did not have Turkish-speaking schools. Amalia also stated that the report accused Greece of poor reception and detention conditions for refugees, illegal returns of asylum seekers to Turkey, and pushback operations. According to her, it also compared the treatment of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa with the hosting of 23,800 Ukrainians. Finally, she wrote that the report charged Greece with not having ratified the framework convention for national minorities, the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and the international convention on the rights of migrant workers and their families. #Ελλάδα #Ρωσία #ΥπουργείοΕξωτερικών (translated)
