Ο Aggelos Chorianopoulos έγραψε ότι η Ελλάδα σύντομα θα αντιμετώπιζε ταυτόχρονα, όπως υποστήριξε, την προσπάθεια της Τουρκίας να νομιμοποιήσει τη «Γαλάζια Πατρίδα», την παρουσία τουρκικού πολεμικού ναυτικού νότια της Κρήτης για την προστασία της Λιβύης, την παρεμπόδιση ερευνών για το GSI και τουρκικές NAVTEX που χαρακτήρισε παράνομες. Ως απάντηση, πρότεινε επέκταση των ελληνικών χωρικών υδάτων στα 12 ναυτικά μίλια και χρήση στρατιωτικής ισχύος για την προστασία των νόμιμων συμφερόντων της χώρας. Πρόσθεσε ότι, αν η Τουρκία οδηγούσε την κατάσταση στα άκρα, η Ελλάδα θα έπρεπε να εκπληρώσει το ιστορικό της καθήκον, το οποίο, κατά τον ίδιο, δεν είχε εκπληρώσει στην Κύπρο το 1974 και στα Ίμια το 1996. Ο Chorianopoulos υποστήριξε ακόμη ότι η διεθνής κοινότητα του δυτικού κόσμου θα στήριζε την Ελλάδα, την οποία φαντάστηκε νικήτρια στο πεδίο. Εκτίμησε επίσης ότι η Ευρώπη είχε δώσει το πράσινο φως για άμεση επέκταση των χωρικών υδάτων στα 12 ναυτικά μίλια σε όλη την περιοχή της Κρήτης. #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία #ΝαυτικήΔύναμη

Reporters United raised questions to Minister Adonis Georgiadis about the Israel Allies Foundation and the meeting at the Athens Club, which he reportedly described as non-secret. They asked which MPs, ministers, and businesspeople attended, who was part of the Greek group of MPs from the organization and under what terms, and whether the presidency of the Parliament was aware of its creation. Reporters United stated that, according to a report on August 8, 2024, Georgiadis had received 11 messages infected with Predator in 2021—more than any other target in Greece—and that he had been officially informed by the Data Protection Authority. They asked him why he did not take legal action and whether being targeted by illegal surveillance software 11 times constituted a national security issue for a high-ranking minister. The outlet also claimed that filming and photographing the minister in public space while performing his duties was a right of journalists and did not violate his personal data. Finally, it reminded that, as reported, its investigations had led Georgiadis to withdraw on May 30, 2025, a secret contract bearing his signature for the transfer of DNA of hundreds of thousands of infants to private individuals. #Δημοσιογραφία #Πολιτική #Δικαιοσύνη (translated)

Georgiadis questioned whether another employer would receive so many postponements and whether the administration of the Inspection might be committing a breach of duty. He also asked if, due to fear of the president, the employee would remain unprotected and expressed hope that it would be the last time the independent authority ignored the case. #Εργασία #Καταγγελία #Δικαιωμάτα (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)
