Reporters United raised questions to Minister Adonis Georgiadis about the Israel Allies Foundation and the meeting at the Athens Club, which he reportedly described as non-secret. They asked which MPs, ministers, and businesspeople attended, who was part of the Greek group of MPs from the organization and under what terms, and whether the presidency of the Parliament was aware of its creation. Reporters United stated that, according to a report on August 8, 2024, Georgiadis had received 11 messages infected with Predator in 2021—more than any other target in Greece—and that he had been officially informed by the Data Protection Authority. They asked him why he did not take legal action and whether being targeted by illegal surveillance software 11 times constituted a national security issue for a high-ranking minister. The outlet also claimed that filming and photographing the minister in public space while performing his duties was a right of journalists and did not violate his personal data. Finally, it reminded that, as reported, its investigations had led Georgiadis to withdraw on May 30, 2025, a secret contract bearing his signature for the transfer of DNA of hundreds of thousands of infants to private individuals. #Δημοσιογραφία #Πολιτική #Δικαιοσύνη (translated)

Maria Karystianou criticized Adonis Georgiadis, saying that, in her opinion, he had shifted the public discussion from the issue of transparency to ideological confrontations and attacks on those who hold power. She argued that the participation of Greek ministers and MPs in meetings with foreign lobbying groups in a private club was not a private matter and that politicians were held accountable daily, not just in elections. Karystianou stated that the journalistic record of the participants in such meetings did not constitute intimidation, but rather was part of press freedom. She added that foreign policy and the defense of national interests should, in her view, be conducted institutionally, with transparency and respect for international law. In the postscript to her statement, she referred to public statements by Georgiadis and Maria Pagoni regarding a bioresonance machine, which, as she wrote, had a European CE marking and had not been previously verified. She also mentioned that she had information about leaks from the ministry concerning her alleged participation in a company that conducted chemotherapy without a license. She claimed that she only operated her own clinic, accused the minister of targeting her, and stated that he would lose. #Διαφάνεια #Δημοκρατία #Ελευθεροτυπία (translated)

Turkey's reaction to the multinational exercise "Eunomia" and the route of the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) reveals the tensions between Greece and Turkey over maritime jurisdictions in the Eastern Mediterranean, with the Turkish press warning that the area is "hers." #ΓαλάζιαΠατρίδα #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία (translated)

The e-Amyna reported that Turkey disputed Greece's jurisdiction to issue NAVTEX for international waters south of Kastellorizo, issuing a related announcement from the Antalya station. It interpreted the move as a possible prelude to the Turkish stance regarding the expected research activities of the GSI. According to the post, the Heraklion station had issued a NAVTEX the previous day for the "EUNOMIA" live-fire exercise on October 19, in the same maritime area. The Antalya announcement, issued the next morning, claimed that the area fell under its jurisdiction and that the Greek station was unauthorized. e-Amyna noted that the area was located along the route of the Greece-Cyprus-Israel electricity interconnection (GSI) and that the research vessel Abeille Marengo was expected to pass through there when the NAVTEX for the activities was issued. https://t.co/0NpV9YsKru #Ναυτιλία #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία (translated)

Sifis Valyrakis was not an ordinary person. Sifis Valyrakis was a public figure for decades, who recorded iconic struggles for democracy. The decision that was issued, when it was announced, was in complete contradiction to the entire hearing process. Not only the citizens, the people who followed the process throughout this time, but also the journalists who were in the room during the entire process expressed their astonishment. Justice demands the exercise of appeal, and of course Mina Valyrakis, when she spoke about the deep state immediately after the issuance of the decision, stood up with mental and moral strength against a leveling development and said: “I will not bend, I will go against the deep state.” And I interpret this decision as a result of the deep state's actions.
