Lampros Kalarritis wrote that the Parliament in Eastern Libya ratified the Turkey-Libya memorandum, describing the development as "another success" of Gerapetritis. He added that, instead of dealing with such developments and preventing them, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pressured the monks of Sinai to accept an Egyptian plan for the confiscation of the monastery's property and their expulsion after 1,600 years. #Λιβύη #Γεραπετρίτης #Διπλωματία (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that, in a briefing for political reporters, he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis if the government agreed with Kyrianakis, whom he presented as the secretary of New Democracy, that the KKE is an authoritarian party that does not believe in democracy. According to him, he asked the question three times, without Marinakis stating whether he agreed or disagreed. Avramidis noted that Kyrianakis, while he had started to criticize Ilia Kasidiaris, attacked the KKE and equated communism with Nazism. He also mentioned that he reminded Marinakis of the photos from the execution of 200 communists in Kaisariani and asked if there is any historical evidence that equates the executioners with the executed. In his description, Marinakis referred to victims of Stalinism, European Day of Remembrance, and the legalization of the KKE by New Democracy, instead of answering the question. Avramidis said he countered with the names of Chalkidis, Tsarouhas, and Halvatzis, whom he connected with persecutions and torture by the Greek dictatorship. The journalist ultimately accused New Democracy of politically covering Nazis and argued that Kyrianakis's stance politically legitimized Kasidiaris. He compared the climate to that of 2013 and referred to Takis Baltakos, who, as he wrote, had conversed with Kasidiaris back then. #antifa #ΚΚΕ #Ναζισμός #Κομμουνισμός (translated)

Alexis Tsipras wrote that he walked through the streets of Volos, where he stopped to meet citizens. In the pedestrian street of Chatzigiannaki, amidst traditional tsipouradika, he mentioned that he heard complaints about the cost of living, as well as discussions about the price of tsipouro and Niki Volou. According to him, citizens were tired of big statements and unfulfilled promises and were asking for a realistic alternative plan that would improve their lives and give prospects to their children. He added that at Kavouras tsipouradiko, he noticed a strong demand for both political change and a change in policy. Tsipras mentioned that a citizen told him that his absence had made it difficult for those trying to bring about change. He stated that this was the reason for his return and that EL.AS. was created to serve as a counterbalance to the Right and to Kyriakos Mitsotakis' New Democracy, filling a gap that, he argued, made the Prime Minister seem unshakeable. He added that the visit ended with wishes for success. #Βόλος #πολιτική #τσιπουράδικο (translated)

The Proper Greek Analyst criticized publications from Kontra, Eleftheros Typos, Political, and Dimokratia, arguing that they presented as a Greek success an exception that would pave the way for a reduction of fuel taxes or investments amounting to 1 billion euros. He described the coverage as misleading and said it confused two different requests. According to him, the government's request for temporary reductions in the Special Consumption Tax or VAT on fuels not to be counted toward the deficit was rejected. He argued that such measures would directly support citizens and businesses and that they had been implemented without requests to the Commission from 11 EU countries. He also cited a Reuters publication regarding the rejection of requests from Greece and Italy for greater fiscal flexibility. On the contrary, he mentioned that a request for exemption from fiscal rules on spending for energy projects had been accepted. In his post, this possibility did not concern only Greece: a Commission announcement dated 18/8/26, with code C/2026/4514, stipulated an exemption of up to 0.6% of GDP cumulatively over two years for countries that would apply. He estimated that this corresponded for Greece to 1.56 billion euros, with an GDP of 260 billion euros at current prices in 2026, and not the 1 billion euros that, as he wrote, the government planned to allocate. The Proper Greek Analyst added that Italy's request, which, according to ANSA, concerned 0.6% of GDP or 14 billion euros, was expected to be approved by Monday. He contrasted this amount with the 0.38% of GDP or 1 billion euros attributed to the Greek plan. For Greek projects, he mentioned grants of 200 million euros for energy storage batteries from renewable sources, 320 million euros for railroad safety and expansion projects, 200 million euros for heat pumps and solar water heaters for 100,000 beneficiaries, 117 million euros for energy upgrades of 109 public buildings and universities, 50 million euros for photovoltaics, batteries, and heating systems for 10,000 beneficiaries, 50 million euros for carbon capture and storage in industry, and 45 million euros for 246 school units. He stated that, beyond the subsidies for households, the remaining projects would not directly benefit citizens. #Ελλάδα #ενέργεια #δημοσιονομικά (translated)

Nena Palaiopanu described the development she referred to as a major success of the New Democracy government and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and congratulated the Minister of National Economy and Finance and President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis. She said that political opponents would seek telecommunications cables and "Giannides," referring to Alexis Tsipras, the Greek Police, and the slogan "with one law and one article." She accused them of incompetence and extreme arrogance and asserted that they would also seek their vote. #με_τον_κυριακο #κυβερνηση_Μητσοτακη #Κυριακος_Μητσοτακης #ΝΕΑ_ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ #ΝεαΔημοκρατια #Ελλαδα2030 #ΝΕΑ_ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ #κυβερνηση_Μητσοτακη #Κυριακος_Μητσοτακης (translated)
