Chris Avramidis wrote that 1,500 artisanal bakeries closed within three years, of which 1,200 for economic reasons. He cited the president of the Professional Chamber, who, according to him, stated that more bakeries had closed than during the Occupation. He added that professionals claimed their energy costs had increased by 40%. Avramidis noted that the four largest energy groups had shown operational profitability exceeding 1 billion euros in terms of EBITDA in 2025 from energy production, trading, and supply activities. He mentioned that he asked the government if it planned to intervene in the market and the profits of the groups to reduce costs for small businesses. According to Avramidis, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis referred to the greatest energy crisis in history, previous state interventions, and the taxation of windfall profits, while stating that retail electricity prices in Greece were lower than the European average. Avramidis stated that he raised the question of how the closure of small businesses coexisted with the high profitability of energy groups, asking for a specific new measure for bakeries. In his account, Marinakis responded again referencing already implemented measures, fixed household tariffs, and comparatively low electricity prices in Greece, without announcing new support for bakeries. Avramidis argued that the government response did not address the issue of small businesses and that the energy crisis had different consequences for small professionals and large groups. He said that for the former it could mean closure, while for the latter it coexisted with profits of hundreds of millions of euros. #ενεργειακήκρίση #οικονομία #φούρνοι (translated)

Nikolas Apelaios II described the days leading up to the Italian attack on Greece, from October 23 to 27, 1940, stating that the Greek ambassador in Rome had informed the government that the attack was expected between October 25 and 28. According to him, Italian reconnaissance aircraft were photographing military points of interest, while senior Greek officials considered the attack imminent. Apelaios reported that on October 24, Ioannis Metaxas recorded in his diary rumors of an attack the next day and informed the chiefs of staff to remain in Athens or to notify where they were. On October 25, according to the post, Metaxas informed the Cabinet about the concentration of Italian troops at the border, and the government rejected both substantial territorial concessions and symbolic gestures toward Italy. He noted that Metaxas and his ministers did not attend the premiere of the opera "Madama Butterfly" at the Royal Theater on October 25, in the presence of Antonio Puccini and Curzio Malaparte. From the government, as he wrote, Deputy Foreign Minister Mavroudis and Deputy Minister of Press Nikolidis attended. The next day, Ambassador Politis reported that the Athens–Rome airline had been suspended until further notice. In his narrative, at the reception of the Italian embassy on October 26, Ambassador Grazzi was often absent, while on the upper floor the ultimatum to Greece was being dictated from Rome. Nikolidis called Metaxas early on October 27 regarding reports of incidents at the border. Apelaios noted that the Athens News Agency denied the news at 04:00, following an order from Metaxas. Apelaios also wrote that, on October 27, Greek and Italian officers met to discuss the incidents, while the Greek government was receiving information about the movements of Italian units towards the border. He added that shortly after Metaxas left his office, information arrived from the Italian embassy that a declaration of war was imminent, but it was decided not to inform him. According to him, the Prime Minister's car departed for Kifisia without him knowing the information. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #ΔεύτεροςΠαγκόσμιοςΠόλεμος (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis said that the day before yesterday he attended a meeting of Greek and Israeli politicians at the Athens Club, organized by a group of supporters of Greece-Israel relations. He mentioned that the goal was to strengthen bilateral relations and create stronger parliamentary support groups. He reiterated that he considered the strategic relationship with Israel a major national interest. Georgiadis claimed that Reporters United was video-recording those who were entering and leaving the Athens Club and published a post the next day criticizing the meeting. He said he did not respond immediately because he was touring Epirus and inaugurating, as he mentioned, Health Centers and emergency departments of hospitals. He added that elected officials were accountable to their voters and not to social media accounts. He then referred to the response of PASOK MP Pavlos Christidis to Reporters United, which he characterized as ridiculous and excessively apologetic. He criticized Christidis, saying he had backed down under pressure, and urged him to withdraw his response. Georgiadis stated that he supported the strategic relationship between Greece and Israel and the creation of support parliamentary groups, adding that his positions would be judged in the next elections by the Greek people. #Ελλάδα #Ισραήλ #πολιτική (translated)

Amalia challenged the leftist narrative regarding the participation of women in the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) during the Civil War, arguing that their enlistment did not necessarily indicate emancipation. She cited data indicating that about 10,000 women served in the DSE, approximately a quarter of its total strength. Of these, she wrote, 30% participated in combat units while the rest worked in the rear. At the time of the posting, 3,000 of the women were "Slavo-Macedonians." Amalia mentioned that these women were connected to the Anti-Fascist Women’s Front of Macedonia (AFŽ), which was established in Skopje on December 14, 1944, and functioned as the women's section of the NOF. The NOF, she wrote, was founded in Skopje in April 1945 with the initiative and support of Tito and, after an agreement between the KKE and Tito, was incorporated into the DSE. She argued that these organizations aimed for the incorporation of Greek Macedonia into the "Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." Amalia stated that after the Stalin-Tito split in 1948, the KKE established the Nationwide Democratic Women’s Union (PDEG), as it could no longer control the AFŽ. According to the posting, the first event of the PDEG took place on October 25, 1948, in Kallithea Prespa, with 44 women, seven of whom were "Slavo-Macedonians." Chrysa Chatzivassiliou was elected president, who, as she wrote, was described in a misogynistic manner by party officials. She also cited a report by Nikos Zachariadis to Stalin on October 17, 1950, regarding the condemnation of Chatzivassiliou by the 3rd Conference. Regarding the other 7,000 women, Amalia argued that the majority were forcibly recruited. She referenced Markos Vafeiadis's estimate that from mid-1947, recruitment into the DSE had become "entirely violent" and that volunteers did not exceed 10%. She also cited research by the author Tasoula Ververioti on the educational level of women, as well as testimonies about difficult living conditions, shortages of clothing and hygiene products, and health issues. She added that many had suffered sexual assaults. As sources, Amalia cited works by Tasoula Ververioti and Margarita Lazaridou, as well as material from the Philip Hiliou Archive at the ASKI. In the end, she mentioned Mirka Ginova (Irene Gkin), Katina Andrejeva (Andreopoulou), Afrodita Dovalovska, and Jordana Slatnikova, along with their places of origin. #Γυναίκες #Αριστερά #Ιστορία (translated)
