Thanos Tsimeros argued that the European Union should not finance magazines with taxpayers' money, regardless of their themes. He mentioned that he learned about Bebe Magazine - Trans Issue from an interview with an artist who performed in a cabaret and from a message from a friend of his related to Belgium. According to what he cited from his friend's message, the publication promoted positions of the trans and queer communities and received funding through the EU's Erasmus+. His friend mentioned that the coordinator was the Belgian Bebe Books.vzw and that the Flemish organization JINT participated in the funding. He cited two grants that, as he reported, he found on the Erasmus website: €57,200 for the period 31/12/23–30/12/24 and €34,500 for the period 15/12/25–14/12/26. Tsimeros said that his friend had filed a complaint with JINT, EACEA, as well as with officials from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, and had also communicated with Greek MEPs. According to his description, he planned to appeal to the European Ombudsman after receiving responses from the agencies or after the expiration of a two-month deadline. #Φόροι #ΕΕ #Κουλτούρα (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that the Greek Left Coalition (EL.AS.) was created within society and not in Parliament or behind closed party doors. He said that the effort continued with its own forces, without state funding and with meetings all over Greece. He claimed that the creation of EL.AS. overturned plans and that the need for its establishment was becoming increasingly apparent. He described the rising costs as an "invisible memorandum" that, he said, burdened expenses on fuel, food, and living, primarily affecting those who were not favored. He added that the government's narrative about stability and a third term was not convincing. Tsipras said that EL.AS. was facing attacks, which it would meet calmly, and that its goal was to address the problems of Greek society and propose alternative solutions. He characterized the government as its only opponent, accusing it of creating the problems. Referring to the meeting of the Political Committee, he said the message was for EL.AS. to continue with its own political identity and clear program, aiming for a progressive government with itself as a core. He called for the creation of a winning current and stated that the effort would focus on combating corruption, inequalities, rising costs, and uncertainty. #ΕΛΑΣ #Αριστερά #Πολιτική (translated)
