Andreas Stalidis argued that 808 significant violations of the Prespa Agreement had been recorded by the authorities of Northern Macedonia, while in practice, he said, there were many more. He cited examples such as the country's president having sworn in as president of "Macedonia" and that both she and the prime minister had issued dozens of statements under that title. Stalidis also referred to a photo of the president of the "Macedonian Academy" and the consul in Canada, whom he said appeared to be dancing with the Vergina flag in front of a map of "Greater Macedonia" that included Greek territories. He added that the violations had been highlighted for years through questions in Europe, a bill proposal in the Parliament, and public interventions, without, in his opinion, any substantial mobilization. Referring to an official protest by the Greek embassy to the authorities of Northern Macedonia after a banner with the Vergina flag and an irredentist map was displayed at a basketball game, Stalidis said that the intervention was correct, but questioned why it was done so late and if it was related to the elections. He called on the government to abolish the Prespa Agreement and to bring the bill proposal to the Plenary, which, he mentioned, had been submitted and remained in the Parliament for 21 months. #ΣυμφωνίαΠρεσπών #Μακεδονία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Greece is establishing its position as a pillar of stability in an unstable region and as a reliable partner, as well as a bridge of cooperation between Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and the countries of the Arab world and the Gulf. The importance of the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Athens, as well as the results of the 6th round of the Strategic Dialogue between Greece and the U.S., was emphasized on Sunday by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a post on social media, highlighting that Greece is strengthening its geopolitical position at a time of significant changes in international balances. #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #ΣτρατηγικόςΔιάλογος (translated)

choricos 24h

Choricos wrote that Donald Trump, concerned about an impending defeat in the midterm elections, turned to Russia asking for oil. According to him, Vladimir Putin seemed to agree in exchange for American support for his goals in Ukraine. He added that if Trump persists in his current statements in favor of Volodymyr Zelensky's resignation and the immediate end of the war, Britain will soon follow, leaving the EU facing the burden of the situation. Choricos also described Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron as dangerous for the future of Europe, accusing them of diplomatic rigidity and a warlike stance aimed, as he wrote, at maintaining their positions. #Τραμπ #Ρωσία #Ευρώπη (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)

Nikolas Moraitis wrote that he admired the simple and direct language of Dionysis Charitopoulos and characterized him as a great writer. He added that Greece owed him the restoration of historical truth, as, according to him, through his study and the book "Aris: the leader of the irregulars," he had refuted the propaganda of the right’s underground for the National Resistance. Quoting an excerpt from Charitopoulos's work, Moraitis mentioned that the author accused official Greece of having hidden or defamed the resistance movement for years and that former fighters of ELAS and their families faced social and state stigma. Charitopoulos, according to the excerpt, also described a multi-year effort to distort the facts and argued that EAM was the greatest epic of modern Greek history. The same text cited words from Panagiotis Kanellopoulos regarding the National Resistance. #ΔιονύσηςΧαριτόπουλος #ΕλληνικήΙστορία #Αντίσταση (translated)

Completely Exhausted wrote that the other day a resolution was approved with 381 votes for the control of Muslim Brotherhood individuals concerning their possible involvement in terrorist organizations. He mentioned that 5 out of the 6 Cypriot MEPs did not vote, while out of the 21 Greek MEPs, 12 did not vote and 3 voted against. He described the vote as one of the most critical and rare for the security of Europe and criticized those who, in his opinion, did not participate, ironically concluding that citizens should re-elect them. https://t.co/RHZIUaXIdt https://t.co/0sNWBiVGKX) #ΜουσουλμανικήΑδελφότητα #Ευρώπη #Τρομοκρατία (translated)

The author of the post mentioned that he spoke at the 10th Greek-British Symposium, organized by the embassies of Greece and the United Kingdom and the Delphi Economic Forum.

Winston Churchill argued that the USA could buy Russian oil and resell it in Europe at a much higher price, with an American intermediary, while Europe had imposed an embargo aimed at pressuring Russia. He strongly criticized European leaders, using vulgar terms, and accused them that their policies harmed the competitiveness of the continent. He presented the possibility of buying the same oil more expensively through the USA as an example of European policy failure. #ΕυρωπαϊκήΠολιτική #Ρωσία #Πετρέλαιο (translated)
