Amalia claimed that the demonstrations in Athens and other Greek cities had low participation, mainly from teachers and students who, as she wrote, were affiliated with the KKE and KNE. She mentioned songs, musical instruments, and slogans referencing Paris, and argued that the Left sought to bring the unrest that had erupted in France and elsewhere to Greece. According to her, the slogans targeted youths, hooligans, and immigrants, whom she presented as groups that could cause chaos and participate in looting. She used a derogatory term for immigrants and claimed that the Left was trying to mobilize them as part of a plan for unrest. Amalia wrote that the protests did not demonstrate that there was a revolutionary climate in Greece and compared 2026 with 2008 and 2012. She also claimed that the Palestinian Community did not participate in the demonstrations, although it had taken part in protests for Palestine. She concluded that the Left had been marginalized and had politically, ideologically, and morally failed, while advising its supporters to abandon expectations for revolutionary developments. #Ελλάδα #Αριστερά #Συγκεντρώσεις (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)

Chris Avramidis stated that he asked the Greek government about reports from the Daily Mail and the Wall Street Journal regarding Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and AKTOR lobbyist Christos Marafatsos. According to what he cited from the Daily Mail, Guilfoyle allegedly requested $250,000 from Greek businessmen to pay off her luxury Mercedes. The Wall Street Journal, as he mentioned, wrote that the paid lobbyist Marafatsos accompanied the ambassador to official government meetings, without the interlocutors always knowing which company he represented. Avramidis said he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis who the businessmen were, whether they had transactions with the public sector, which meetings with ministers the lobbyist participated in, and whether possible conflicts of interest would be checked. According to the journalist, Marinakis replied that the issue did not fall under the government's competencies, accused him of adopting the reports, and referred him to the press offices of the ministries. Avramidis added that the government spokesman said the government could neither dismiss nor adopt the reports. The journalist argued that the questions regarding the lobbyist's meetings with ministers, whether they knew which company he represented, and whether the contacts for potential conflicts of interest would be examined remained unanswered. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)

The Greece Crypto Degen Club account wrote that the last few days matched the meme they shared and congratulated the creator of the chart. They added that during such periods, good risk management and distancing from short-term movements were necessary.

Nikolas Moraitis mentioned that Alexis Tsipras had stated he would adopt the stance of a "Buddhist monk" in response to PASOK's blows, even if he deemed them unfair, and would not respond to Nikos Androulakis, who, as he wrote, accused him of destroying the country. According to Moraitis, Tsipras would choose this stance for the sake of the Center-Left. Moraitis mocked this choice and argued that Tsipras had followed a similar tactic during the period 2019-23 against New Democracy, in the media, and with the Truth Team. As he wrote, they even attributed the country's bankruptcy to him and portrayed the defamation in public opinion as a reality. He suggested that he should do the same against PASOK, which he described as a "nursery" party for ministerial posts of New Democracy. Comparing the situation with other countries, Moraitis wrote that the 80-year-old Lula in Brazil was fighting Bolsonaro, whom he called a fascist, while Pedro Sánchez in Spain had adopted the nickname "perro" ("dog") and was standing alone against the alliance of the Right and Far-Right. He contrasted this with Tsipras's stance, which he characterized as weak and old-fashioned, and said his vote for him was forced, not desired, as the only honorable alternative to the seven-year period he described as a mafia era. #Τσίπρας #ΠΑΣΟΚ #Κεντροαριστερά (translated)

StrategicWarCrafted wrote that, after the speech of American Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Pnyx, the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas offered him the English edition of "Pericles' Funeral Oration" from the Parliament Foundation, with a handwritten dedication. The author noted that, according to Thucydides, the Funeral Oration was delivered in the winter of 431/430 BC, at the end of the first year of the Peloponnesian War, during the burial of the Athenians who were killed in battle. He added that the ceremony took place at the public cemetery of Kerameikos and not at the Pnyx. According to StrategicWarCrafted, the text linked the idea of the ideal city-state with democracy, freedom, courage, and public ethics. He also wrote that Rubio presented Athens as the birthplace of characteristics that shaped the West and called on the West to regain its confidence. Referring to Thucydides' "Histories," Book II, Chapter 43, the author attributed to Pericles the message that the dead should be a model and that happiness was linked with freedom and freedom with courage, while the dangers of war should not be avoided. He called on the country's political leadership to take this exhortation into account and wrote that it was not a time for bribes, but for the salvation of the Nation. He concluded with the phrase "Judges will judge us, the unborn, the dead." #Δημοκρατία #Ιστορία #Πολιτική (translated)

"The bright idea of the prime minister to address the housing deadlock of thousands of Greeks is to turn it into a business for the contractors." Mr. Androulakis characterized the proposal for the provision of bonuses of two or three additional floors as an option that risks turning the housing problem into "a business for the contractors," arguing that it does not address the real causes of the housing crisis. #ΣτεγαστικήΚρίση #Αθήνα #Ανδρουλάκης (translated)

Kyranakis wrote that, three years after October 7, 2023, the Hamas attack should not be forgotten, during which, as he mentioned, more than 1,200 people were killed and 251 were abducted. He described the murders and abuse of civilians, rapes, and desecrations of corpses, noting that among the victims were people who supported the peaceful coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians. Kyranakis characterized the attack as a blow to the values of human life, freedom, democracy, and peace. He added that the West had a duty to defend these values against fanaticism and terrorism and stated that his position remained zero tolerance for terrorism, without compromise with antisemitism and without oblivion. #ισραηλινόπαλαιστινιακό #τρομοκρατία #ανθρωπινάδικαιώματα (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis asked his followers to watch and spread videos from Kalymnos. He mentioned that the gratitude and thanks he heard from patients at the Kalymnos Hospital compensated him for the toxicity he claimed to receive daily from his political opponents. He added that a new idea was implemented at the hospital, which he stated they were planning to soon expand throughout Greece, aiming to improve the lives of citizens. #Κάλυμνος #Υγεία #Κοινωνία (translated)

If George Papandreou had accepted my proposal to request a qualified majority of three-fifths for the vote on the first memorandum, as was necessary for historical and political reasons, things would have developed completely differently for all of us. According to Mr. Venizelos, PASOK backed away from the idea of a broader majority, "believing that the memorandum must be voted through at all costs in order to secure the loan and avoid an uncontrolled bankruptcy," while there was also "naivety" in thinking that "we will handle the memorandum, the country will be saved and we have no reason to share the..." #Βενιζέλος #Δαμανάκη #μνημόνιο (translated)

Vas. Papatheodorou wrote that Real's proposal to give the NBA a 30-day deadline to submit a new offer to EuroLeague, with terms much better than those of the initial proposal, has been accepted.
