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)

The Proper Greek Analyst wrote that, according to a report by the Financial Times on October 16, 2026, Italy had secured a preliminary agreement with the European Commission for an intervention mechanism in wholesale electricity prices when the price of natural gas exceeded 59 euros per MWh. He mentioned that the mechanism was based on the Iberian Exception. The author added that the bill proposed an increase of two percentage points in the IRAP tax for the years 2026 and 2027, with estimated revenues of 1.08 billion euros for the Italian state during the period 2026-2028. According to the post, the additional revenues would be directed towards reducing electricity bills for specific businesses. He also cited a statement from the Italian Prime Minister that the agreement would allow intervention in the way electricity prices were set, in order to address the impact of natural gas costs. The Proper Greek Analyst wondered why Greece was not seeking a similar intervention and criticized Greek journalists for not highlighting the development, as he wrote. In the post, he compared their stance to that of Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the European Council. https://t.co/pAWnS2oBWc #ενεργεια #ρευμα #Κομισιον #καύσιμα #ενεργεια #ρευμα #καύσιμα (translated)
