Adonis Georgiadis said that Mega, on Anastasia Yamali's show, presented a photo of an old, decommissioned ambulance from Kythnos, linking it to the death of a 62-year-old in a tavern. He argued that the vehicle in the photo was not the one that responded to the incident. Georgiadis mentioned that the ambulance arrived within 25 minutes, that the calls were recorded and available, and that the doctor had a defibrillator with her and provided oxygen. He added that the 62-year-old had a cardiac history and did not recover. Regarding the ambulance that attempted to respond, he said it had passed the technical inspection two months earlier, had new tires, and had just come out of service. He also mentioned that the mayor who put it on the ship confirmed that the vehicle was in good condition. The minister described the presentation of the photo as misinformation and stated that such publications undermine public trust in the National Health System. #Υγεία #Ειδήσεις #Παραπληροφόρηση (translated)

R•G•7 10h

R•G•7 reported that his son, who would turn 10 in November and was attending the 5th grade, talked to him about F1 25, which he said was played by older students. After seeing the game's website and the PEGI 3 suitability rating, he asked Gemini for more information and expressed his surprise at the content. According to the description he provided, the game included races with teams, drivers, and tracks corresponding to real ones, career and team management features, a narrative storyline titled Braking Point 3, as well as online play or races with two players on the same screen. R•G•7 argued that the content warranted a rating for adults and not for children over the age of 3 years. He cited pit battles, driving at speeds over 200 km/h, and causing accidents without legal or insurance consequences, other than a penalty to the driver’s time. He added that, as described in the game, the police were not notified but a safety car appeared. He also mentioned that the communications in the pits contained, according to the description, strong curses and racist or misogynistic expressions. Connecting the reference to the speeds with traffic rules, R•G•7 wrote that speeds over 200 km/h incurred a fine of €2,000 and a one-year driving license suspension, with heavier penalties in case of reoffending. He expressed his opposition to the presence of such elements in a game with a PEGI 3 rating. #F1 #Formula1 #βιντεοπαιχνίδια (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis did not answer directly whether the government agreed with the New Democracy MEP Eleonora Meleti, who, according to him, had spoken about employers being blackmailed by employees. According to Avramidis, Marinakis said that Meleti's related reference was limited and that she "must have received" complaints, while adding that he could not know if such incidents existed. Avramidis noted that when asked again whether the government adopted the position of the MEP, the spokesman did not respond with clear agreement or disagreement and referred to the importance of employers creating and paying for jobs. Avramidis commented that the answer portrayed Meleti as a defender of workers, even though, as he wrote, she had referred to employers who were being blackmailed by employees. #Εργαζόμενοι #Εργοδότες #Κυβέρνηση (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)

Nikolas Moraitis wrote that he admired the simple and direct language of Dionysis Charitopoulos and characterized him as a great writer. He added that Greece owed him the restoration of historical truth, as, according to him, through his study and the book "Aris: the leader of the irregulars," he had refuted the propaganda of the right’s underground for the National Resistance. Quoting an excerpt from Charitopoulos's work, Moraitis mentioned that the author accused official Greece of having hidden or defamed the resistance movement for years and that former fighters of ELAS and their families faced social and state stigma. Charitopoulos, according to the excerpt, also described a multi-year effort to distort the facts and argued that EAM was the greatest epic of modern Greek history. The same text cited words from Panagiotis Kanellopoulos regarding the National Resistance. #ΔιονύσηςΧαριτόπουλος #ΕλληνικήΙστορία #Αντίσταση (translated)

Jack criticized the PAO BC staff, stating that they had previously claimed that employees should be paid less to be motivated and that they were now presenting a patient's recovery as something that first requires their permission. He described the "rot," which he said is a reality for some, as unimaginable. #paobc #μπάσκετ #υγεία #δικαιώματα (translated)

Amalia claimed that documents uncovered from the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI) showed that Moscow was funding AKEL with the aim of preventing the union of Cyprus with Greece. According to her, the funding served Soviet interests, as Greece was a NATO member. She stated that the money was channeled through the International Trade Union Assistance Fund for Left-Wing Labor Organizations, which she described as a cover for the KGB, and that the allocations were approved by the Political Bureau of the CPSU. She mentioned Yuri Andropov as responsible for transferring the funds. According to Amalia, six annual reports for the period 1961-1973 recorded remittances to AKEL amounting to $56,000 in 1961, $56,222 in 1962, $56,000 in 1963, $69,722 in 1965, $70,000 in 1966, and $140,000 in 1973, totaling $447,944. She added that these amounts did not necessarily constitute the total aid received by the party, as, she wrote, documents for all the years had not been declassified. She also mentioned that AKEL had received weapons from Moscow. She wrote that the Central Committee of the CPSU approved, at the request of AKEL's General Secretary Ezekias Papayiannou, the shipment of 100 Walther pistols and 25,000 cartridges. According to the posting, the weapons were sent on June 13, 1974, and delivered on July 4. Amalia questioned the stated purpose in the documents — the protection of AKEL leadership and other persons — and claimed that the weapons were intended for terrorist actions against EOKA B. Finally, she stated that Makarios had received weapons from Czechoslovakia, with Moscow's approval, in late January 1972. According to her, these were unloaded in the area of Kseros and transported with about 50 trucks to the Archdiocese in Nicosia. #Κύπρος #ΑΚΕΛ #ιστορία (translated)

"It is a matter of amazement how Mr. Tsipras ignores basic data concerning our country's defense programs, which are of crucial importance." In response to Alex Tsipras' criticism regarding the timeline for the delivery of American fighter jets, Pavlos Marinakis argued that the former prime minister is either unaware of the basic facts of the defense programs or is attempting to present a different reality. #Μαρινάκης #Τσίπρας #F35 (translated)

The author of the post mentioned that foreign investments since 2019 amounted to 43.8 billion euros and that a new framework for investments of up to 50 million euros was established. He claimed that the country had made significant economic progress despite the pandemic, the energy crisis, and the war. https://t.co/mtVdy3mRhy #εξωτερικέςεπενδύσεις #οικονομία #ανάπτυξη #GR (translated)

Nikolas Moraitis mentioned that Alexis Tsipras had stated he would adopt the stance of a "Buddhist monk" in response to PASOK's blows, even if he deemed them unfair, and would not respond to Nikos Androulakis, who, as he wrote, accused him of destroying the country. According to Moraitis, Tsipras would choose this stance for the sake of the Center-Left. Moraitis mocked this choice and argued that Tsipras had followed a similar tactic during the period 2019-23 against New Democracy, in the media, and with the Truth Team. As he wrote, they even attributed the country's bankruptcy to him and portrayed the defamation in public opinion as a reality. He suggested that he should do the same against PASOK, which he described as a "nursery" party for ministerial posts of New Democracy. Comparing the situation with other countries, Moraitis wrote that the 80-year-old Lula in Brazil was fighting Bolsonaro, whom he called a fascist, while Pedro Sánchez in Spain had adopted the nickname "perro" ("dog") and was standing alone against the alliance of the Right and Far-Right. He contrasted this with Tsipras's stance, which he characterized as weak and old-fashioned, and said his vote for him was forced, not desired, as the only honorable alternative to the seven-year period he described as a mafia era. #Τσίπρας #ΠΑΣΟΚ #Κεντροαριστερά (translated)

The centrist argued that those protesting against the "genocide" in Gaza did not truly care about Palestine or its people. He wrote that, invoking solidarity and humanity, they were celebrating a dark anniversary alongside Hamas. https://t.co/mOFYQHj1LF #Γάζα #Παλαιστίνη #Αλληλεγγύη (translated)

"We fully understand that the reality of farmers and producers is difficult, which is why we are trying to find immediate solutions and primarily invest in the resilience and competitiveness of the primary sector as a whole." The Ministry of Agriculture is working on a program for additional support for the primary sector in order to respond to the increases in fertilizers, plant protection products, and agricultural diesel, and is planning post-foot-and-mouth disease resilient livestock farming, stated the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Christos Senekis, on Tuesday. #Γεωργία #ΣτήριξηΑγροτών #Κύπρος (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)

FLORENTIA wrote that, in anticipation of October 28, video content was expected on social media that, according to her, would reiterate arguments about Greek history from 1940. She predicted that their creators would attribute the Greek resistance to the use of pitch, would associate an 18th-century French card player with contemporary Greek identity, and would present Greece's victory as an accident. She also mentioned that they would argue that Italy had been provoked by Greece and would use footage of Greeks throwing flowers at German motorcyclists in 1941 as a sign of hospitality. FLORENTIA criticized the use of material from SS archives and argued that such narratives aimed, in her opinion, to overshadow agreements of friendship and non-aggression with Berlin and the shipment of chromium to the German war industry. She also referred to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the collapse of the front, and the sinking of the submarine Elli in Tinos. #Ιστορία #Γαστρονομία #Προπαγάνδα (translated)
