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 lifting of American sanctions, the easing of pressure on the aggressor, the economic rewards for Putin — all of these only encourage him to continue the attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that the decision of his American counterpart Donald Trump not to impose new sanctions on Moscow would encourage Russia's Vladimir Putin. #Ζελένσκι #Ρωσία #Κυρώσεις (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that he respected the parties of the progressive opposition, including PASOK, the KKE, and SYRIZA. He mentioned that he had resigned as a member of parliament more than a year ago and that he had not utilized parliamentary privileges, state compensations, or party assets for his political plans. Tsipras said he believed in the programmatic agreement and joint action of progressive forces, although the parties would remain competitive. He added that, as an elected prime minister twice with percentages of 35-36%, he had taken the risk of simple proportional representation, which, he said, had costs, but he did not regret it. Referring to the leadership of PASOK, he estimated that its choice to regard ELAS and him as main opponents concealed a fear of forming a progressive alternative government centered around the Greek Left Coalition. He further claimed that some in the opposition preferred Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the right over such a government, and for that reason, they opted, according to him, for a strategy of tension and constant attacks. #ΠροοδευτικήΑντιπολίτευση #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα (translated)

I will not do the favor to Mr. Mitsotakis, instead of dealing with him, to deal with the continuous attacks of Mr. Androulakis. Tsipras reminded that Androulakis, when asked at the Thessaloniki International Fair with whom he would govern if PASOK did not come first, replied that it would be up to the Greek people to decide. #Τσίπρας #ΠαΣοΚ #ΝέαΔημοκρατία (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)

"I will not do Mr. Mitsotakis the favor of dealing with him, instead of engaging with the continuous attacks of Mr. Androulakis," claimed Alexis Tsipras, adding that "we were born to be the opponent and the alternative pole against the ND in our political system. We have filled this gap. We have not cooperated with ND in government." #ΕΛΑΣ #ΠαΣοΚ #Τσίπρας (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)

The author wrote that the most significant developments in the energy sector came from the Houthis.
