The Real Prophet wrote that the Japanese ambassador bid farewell to Greece with verses from Kavafis, recognizing, in his estimation, the tragic depth and subtlety of its culture. He contrasted this gesture with the noisy, television lifestyle of the Guilfoyle type, which he characterized as an expression of American superficiality that viewed the country as a folkloric backdrop. He asked which of the two approaches was more akin to the soul of the place. #Καβάφης #Πολιτισμός #Αλεξάνδρεια (translated)

Chris Avramidis commented on the departure of Kimberley Guilfoyle, accusing the Mitsotakis government of not asking her to retract offensive remarks about Greeks. He noted that suicides had increased by 35% during that period and criticized the ambassador for her stance towards the Greek people. Avramidis claimed that the Vertical Corridor would serve the sale of American liquefied natural gas in Europe, benefiting American multinationals and Greek oligarchs, while consumers would pay higher prices. He also linked the case to a report from the Wall Street Journal, which stated that AKTOR paid $160,000 to a lobbyist who illegally participated in official meetings with Guilfoyle, while she was promoting the company to governments in the Balkans. He accused the Greek media of not sufficiently covering the issue and asked why SKAI withdrew a related publication, suggesting that the decision might be connected to the business interests of shipowner Alafouzos. He also claimed that Guilfoyle had threatened that the Greek government could fall and compared this reasoning to the Apostasy of 1965 and the junta of 1967. Finally, Avramidis estimated that AKTOR might lose money and accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of potentially offsetting losses with direct assignments. He linked the company to the Tempi incident, criticizing the delays in restoring railway signals and the attribution of responsibility to a stationmaster. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ενέργεια (translated)

Kostas Vaxevanis wrote that politicians in Greece who had been photographed with the US ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle may remove the photos and reconsider their memories. He argued that their visits had no substantial institutional content but referred to the doctrine of ambassador John Purifoy, whom he described as a person who managed political affairs in Greece. He added that the stance of politicians towards the Greek dimension of "Guilfoyle Gate" would show whether their photo ops expressed submission. #ΚιμπερλιΓκιλφόιλ #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα (translated)

"I am extremely grateful to President Donald J. Trump and the United States Senate for the trust they have shown in me.

Maria Karamounakidou wrote that Tsounis had made his mark in the taverns and that Gilfoyl had given new life to the nightclubs of the country. She added that, if she were to make a prediction, the next ambassador would be related to casinos. #Χασαποταβέρνες #Σκυλάδικα #Καζίνο (translated)

The American ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barak, is facing intense criticism from the Turkish opposition for his political preferences and his meetings with ministers from other countries in Istanbul, as well as for his choice not to reside in Ankara. #ΤομΜπάρακ #Διπλωματία #Τουρκία (translated)

The e-Amyna wrote that the removal of Kimberly Guilfoyle from her position as the U.S. ambassador in Athens was not an unpleasant development, as, in his view, the negative publicity surrounding her had indirectly affected Greece, while her involvement in regional issues had until then been mainly decorative. He mentioned as a key issue the timing and manner of her replacement, noting that matters of Greek interest — the GSI, the Vertical Corridor, and the exploration efforts of Chevron and Exxon — were at a critical juncture. At the same time, he described the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barac, as a person with excellent connections in the White House and increased responsibilities in Syria, who, he argued, was functioning almost as Turkey's ambassador to the U.S. e-Amyna stated that Guilfoyle was said to have access to the White House, something which, according to him, was particularly important during Trump's presidency. However, he attributed the more positive American initiatives in the region to Geoffrey Pyatt, whom he characterized as an experienced career diplomat with strategic thinking and noted that, after serving at the embassy in Athens, he served as Deputy Secretary of Energy under Biden's presidency. He concluded that it would be desirable for the next U.S. ambassador to be a diplomat of this kind. #Διπλωματία #ΗΠΑ #Ελλάδα (translated)
