Chris Avramidis argued that Kimberley Guilfoyle's farewell text revealed that her mission in Greece aimed to serve American interests. He stated that she presented deals for the export of American liquefied natural gas through the Vertical Corridor, the expansion of opportunities for American businesses and investments, and the strengthening of American energy influence and leadership in Southeast Europe as successes. Avramidis described the Vertical Corridor as detrimental to Greek households, whether it is implemented at 50% or 10% by Greek brokers. He argued that hundreds of millions of euros would be directed towards American interests, instead of reducing the energy burden for households, and said that the project was presented as aid to Ukraine, while, according to him, it represented a profitable business opportunity for companies seeking to expand their influence. He also claimed that Guilfoyle threatened that the Greek government could be overthrown if it did not meet the desires of the U.S., and compared this logic to what, he said, happened in 1965 and 1967. He also referred to published allegations that she was asking for bribes and argued that her departure was not enough as a response. He raised the issue of democratic legitimacy, asking who decided that the needs of Greek households had to be subordinated to American interests, and mentioned, along with American multinationals, the large contractor AKTOR. #Γκιλφόιλ #αμερικη #Γκιλφόιλ #αμερικανική_κυριαρχία #Ελλάδα (translated)

The Proper Greek Analyst argued that Greece recorded a deficit of 9.32 billion euros in current transactions in the seven months of 2026, the second largest in the last 14 years, after the 12.15 billion euros in 2022, which, as he wrote, was linked to the Covid crisis. He also stated that exports of goods and services lagged behind imports and described the production deficit as structural. Citing the IMF's projections in the World Economic Outlook of October 2026, he mentioned that Greece ranked 172nd out of 190 countries in 2026 regarding the current account deficit, with a rate of -6.6% of GDP, and that in 2027 it was expected to rise to 168th place, with a deficit of -5.9%. He described the second performance as a slight improvement, but both as rankings among the worst economies globally. He linked the deterioration, as he described it, to the fact that the country does not produce enough, despite the 36 billion euros from the Recovery Fund and seven years after exiting the memoranda. He also referenced the draft budget for 2027, according to which the overall Public Investment Program would be reduced by 35%, from 17 billion euros in 2026 to 11 billion in 2027. Finally, he criticized the Budget Office of the Parliament, saying that its report for September, which would be presented to MPs on Friday, was four months behind in terms of data and did not comment on the country's trajectory. #ακρίβεια #οικονομια #εισαγωγες #εξαγωγες #οικονομια #εξαγωγες #εισαγωγες (translated)

The Government Observatory reported that Greece, while representing less than 5% of European pharmaceutical production in 2018 and being an importer, had developed a domestic pharmaceutical industry over the past seven years. According to the post, there were now 51 production units and 31 research and development centers operating in the country. The author noted that Greece exported pharmaceuticals to 147 countries and that these were the country's first exported industrial product, with a value of 2.75 billion euros. He added that investments exceeding 1.8 billion euros were underway, with Arcadia evolving into a pharmaceutical center. He cited examples such as Demo's investment in Tripoli amounting to 356 million euros, ELPEN's investment in Arcadia and Attica totaling 350 million euros, as well as investments by FARAN in Tripoli and Rontis in Larissa, totaling 180 million euros. According to the post, Greece was approaching 15% of European pharmaceutical production and would soon cover nearly 40% of European demand for penicillin-based medications and 35% for oncology drugs in Greece. The Government Observatory also claimed that the growth of the sector created jobs for thousands of Greek scientists and attributed this trajectory to the incentives of the investment clawback, which, it stated, was established by a government law. #ΦαρμακευτικήΒιομηχανία #Εξαγωγές #Ελλάδα (translated)

Lina presented a text with the names Thomas Moschos and E.L.A.S., in which she argued that the justifications given for the non-implementation of vaccinations against zoonoses had been disproven. She mentioned that Romania secured 1 million free doses of the vaccine against smallpox and 300,000 against plague, as part of a program that, as she wrote, was designed in coordination with veterinarians, epidemiologists, and livestock breeders, with the aim of continuing exports. Lina attributed the deaths of 7 people, including one who committed suicide, the slaughter of 700,000 animals, and damages of at least 200 million euros to the agricultural GDP to the management of the Mitsotakis government. She also wrote that the compensation and burial expenses reached at least 400 million euros, while 3,000 families were left without work and displaced from their homes. She added that after 3 years, the restoration of the livestock had still not been possible and accused the government of choosing a policy that destroyed the sector. #εμβόλιο #ζωονόσοι #κλάδος (translated)
