Sadenrepes wrote that Adonis was going from house to house to answer questions and gather votes. He claimed that the host was a well-known figure from the "nursery" of the right, who, according to him, appeared as a random citizen in shows and reports, and sarcastically commented that he was now appearing this way in homes as well. https://t.co/obZgzN5v6a #πολιτική #εκλογές #κοινωνία (translated)

The author argued that the border areas marked the beginning of each government's responsibility towards its citizens and their non-negotiable rights, not the end of Greece. He added that he envisioned a country that included every region and not just the large urban centers. https://t.co/XxoAurTikp #Ελλάδα #Δικαιώματα #Κυβέρνηση #GR (translated)

The Proper Greek Analyst criticized publications from Kontra, Eleftheros Typos, Political, and Dimokratia, arguing that they presented as a Greek success an exception that would pave the way for a reduction of fuel taxes or investments amounting to 1 billion euros. He described the coverage as misleading and said it confused two different requests. According to him, the government's request for temporary reductions in the Special Consumption Tax or VAT on fuels not to be counted toward the deficit was rejected. He argued that such measures would directly support citizens and businesses and that they had been implemented without requests to the Commission from 11 EU countries. He also cited a Reuters publication regarding the rejection of requests from Greece and Italy for greater fiscal flexibility. On the contrary, he mentioned that a request for exemption from fiscal rules on spending for energy projects had been accepted. In his post, this possibility did not concern only Greece: a Commission announcement dated 18/8/26, with code C/2026/4514, stipulated an exemption of up to 0.6% of GDP cumulatively over two years for countries that would apply. He estimated that this corresponded for Greece to 1.56 billion euros, with an GDP of 260 billion euros at current prices in 2026, and not the 1 billion euros that, as he wrote, the government planned to allocate. The Proper Greek Analyst added that Italy's request, which, according to ANSA, concerned 0.6% of GDP or 14 billion euros, was expected to be approved by Monday. He contrasted this amount with the 0.38% of GDP or 1 billion euros attributed to the Greek plan. For Greek projects, he mentioned grants of 200 million euros for energy storage batteries from renewable sources, 320 million euros for railroad safety and expansion projects, 200 million euros for heat pumps and solar water heaters for 100,000 beneficiaries, 117 million euros for energy upgrades of 109 public buildings and universities, 50 million euros for photovoltaics, batteries, and heating systems for 10,000 beneficiaries, 50 million euros for carbon capture and storage in industry, and 45 million euros for 246 school units. He stated that, beyond the subsidies for households, the remaining projects would not directly benefit citizens. #Ελλάδα #ενέργεια #δημοσιονομικά (translated)

National issues, such as the Greek-Turkish differences and the Skopje issue, can influence elections, mainly during times of crisis and uncertainty, but their impact depends on the internal political conditions and the citizens' assessment of government management. #Εκλογές #ΕξωτερικήΠολιτική #ΕθνικάΘέματα (translated)

Amalia accused Russia of deliberately launching attacks against civilians in Ukraine, citing strikes on apartment buildings, schools, shopping centers, public transport, playgrounds, and bridges. She argued that most of the victims were Russian-speaking individuals in Eastern Ukraine and criticized those who, as she wrote, showed sensitivity towards Palestine and Iran in Greece, but not towards Ukrainians. Regarding the recent strikes, she mentioned that in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, 22 civilians were killed, including 5 children—three of them one year old—and 54 were injured. For Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast, she wrote that two city buses were attacked and 33 people were killed, while the number of injured remained unknown. She added that 9 people were also killed in Kyiv, 2 in Kremenchuk, 2 in Konotop, 2 in Oleksandriia, and 1 in Zaporizhzhia, raising the death toll of civilian casualties over the two days to 71, according to her. Regarding the negotiations with U.S. intervention, Amalia claimed that Zelensky was accepting a ceasefire with the troops in their current positions and was asking for guarantees from the West. She stated that pro-Russian separatist forces controlled 60% of Donetsk Oblast before the Russian invasion of 2022, that since then the Russian army had captured an additional 20%, and that it had not managed to capture the remaining 20%. She asserted that Putin did not want a ceasefire, but a peace agreement that would require Zelensky to go to Moscow, the demilitarization of Ukraine, a constitutional commitment not to seek EU or NATO membership, and the recognition of the territories occupied by Russia since 2014, including Crimea. She added that Russia was also demanding the surrender of the remaining 20% of Donetsk Oblast that it had not captured. Amalia compared the situation to Cyprus, where, as she wrote, since August 1974 a ceasefire had been in effect under UN supervision, without a permanent peace agreement, because Turkey demanded recognition of the loss of territories and the pseudostate. She concluded that Russia sought, in her view, the humiliation of Ukraine and not peace. #Ουκρανία #Ειρήνη #Πόλεμος (translated)

Maria Denaxa argued that the conflicts in France should not distract from the wave of anger that, as she wrote, continued to intensify despite police violence, mutilations, and what she perceived as efforts to downplay it. She warned that announcements and images projected by media outlets and paid social media accounts would represent attempts at manipulation. Denaxa stated that 86% of citizens rejected Emmanuel Macron and claimed that he had misled 60 million citizens. She also wrote that "Macronism" had ended as it had begun, with violence against those who demanded a better future, leaving behind, in her view, a France in an irreversible state. At the same time, she argued that Europeans should not tolerate leaders who, as she claimed, undermine the future of their children and may lead them into an irrational war to maintain their positions. She named Macron, Ursula, and Merz, saying that they were trying to create the impression that everything was going smoothly, while the situation in France was at risk of spiraling out of control. #Γαλλία #Ευρώπη #Μακρονισμός (translated)
