The Proper Greek Analyst wrote that, according to a report by the Financial Times on October 16, 2026, Italy had secured a preliminary agreement with the European Commission for an intervention mechanism in wholesale electricity prices when the price of natural gas exceeded 59 euros per MWh. He mentioned that the mechanism was based on the Iberian Exception. The author added that the bill proposed an increase of two percentage points in the IRAP tax for the years 2026 and 2027, with estimated revenues of 1.08 billion euros for the Italian state during the period 2026-2028. According to the post, the additional revenues would be directed towards reducing electricity bills for specific businesses. He also cited a statement from the Italian Prime Minister that the agreement would allow intervention in the way electricity prices were set, in order to address the impact of natural gas costs. The Proper Greek Analyst wondered why Greece was not seeking a similar intervention and criticized Greek journalists for not highlighting the development, as he wrote. In the post, he compared their stance to that of Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the European Council. https://t.co/pAWnS2oBWc #ενεργεια #ρευμα #Κομισιον #καύσιμα #ενεργεια #ρευμα #καύσιμα (translated)

The author of the post claimed that for every 100 euros a Cypriot paid at a petrol station, 34-37 euros were attributed to taxes. He likened the high prices to a profit for the government in a lottery. #Κύπρος #Cyprus #Καύσιμα #Φόροι #Ακρίβεια https://t.co/RnyTRB23tg #Κύπρος #Φόροι #Ακρίβεια #CY (translated)

The author of the post claimed that out of every 100 euros paid by Cypriots at fuel stations, 34 to 37 euros correspond to taxes. He compared this amount to the government's profit from the lottery. #Κύπρος #Cyprus #Καύσιμα #Φόροι #Ακρίβεια https://t.co/WNW0dBeEhm #Κύπρος #Καύσιμα #Φόροι #CY (translated)

The transport of fuel in additional containers by private vehicles returning from the occupied areas is prohibited, while for commercial vehicles there is an administrative fine of €4 per liter in the event that they are found transporting fuel from these areas. #Καύσιμα #Κύπρος #Τελωνεία (translated)

The author argued that the Mitsotakis government chose half-measures for fuel inflation, subsidizing it with citizens' money and leaving, in his estimate, the super-profits of refineries unscathed. He also noted that the government made an announcement a few hours before the start of heating oil distribution. #ακρίβεια #καύσιμα #πολιτική #GR (translated)

The author wrote that he was concerned about the degree of government control that, in his opinion, was being exercised over certain newspapers. He argued that they were presenting the continuous increases in fuel prices as reductions, citing government subsidies and the "social contribution" of the refineries. He then began referring to how they calculated the cost of fuel, but the post was interrupted in the middle of the sentence. (translated)

Chris Avramidis commented on the departure of Kimberley Guilfoyle, accusing the Mitsotakis government of not asking her to retract offensive remarks about Greeks. He noted that suicides had increased by 35% during that period and criticized the ambassador for her stance towards the Greek people. Avramidis claimed that the Vertical Corridor would serve the sale of American liquefied natural gas in Europe, benefiting American multinationals and Greek oligarchs, while consumers would pay higher prices. He also linked the case to a report from the Wall Street Journal, which stated that AKTOR paid $160,000 to a lobbyist who illegally participated in official meetings with Guilfoyle, while she was promoting the company to governments in the Balkans. He accused the Greek media of not sufficiently covering the issue and asked why SKAI withdrew a related publication, suggesting that the decision might be connected to the business interests of shipowner Alafouzos. He also claimed that Guilfoyle had threatened that the Greek government could fall and compared this reasoning to the Apostasy of 1965 and the junta of 1967. Finally, Avramidis estimated that AKTOR might lose money and accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of potentially offsetting losses with direct assignments. He linked the company to the Tempi incident, criticizing the delays in restoring railway signals and the attribution of responsibility to a stationmaster. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ενέργεια (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that Kimberly Guilfoyle was resigning and accused the government of not asking her to retract offensive remarks about the Greeks. He claimed that government officials were willing to sacrifice everything for the dollar and that the country would pay dearly for the natural gas that would be imported from afar, to the benefit of multinationals, leaving, as he said, the homes cold. Avramidis stated that for several weeks, Guilfoyle's actions had revealed what was happening behind closed doors, mentioning lobbyists, secret meetings, threats of dictatorship if Greece did not procure fuel from the USA, and Greek brokers. He also criticized the mainstream media for, in his opinion, avoiding mentioning Exarchou and Aktor, even though these names, as he wrote, were at the center of an investigation about Greece published by the Wall Street Journal. He asked why SKAI took down a news story and why other systemic media reported the story without mentioning the major contractor. At the same time, he argued that businessmen who appeared as competitors could quickly coordinate when financial interests were at stake. He said that Guilfoyle, whom he described as a former ambassador, provided lessons through her messages on how such agreements were made. He added that the government spokesman tried to defend her, even though she, as he claimed, had ridiculed the Greeks with an inhumane analogy. Finally, he mentioned that even if Aktor's business agreement failed, the company could be awarded a direct contract with public money. He wrote that the project would be delayed for years and that, in the end, those responsible could blame the stationmaster. #Τεμπη #Γκιλφόιλ #Κυβέρνηση #ΜΜΕ #ΔημόσιαΣφαίρα (translated)

The author wrote that Donald Trump's attempt to improve the electoral percentages of the Republicans through an agreement with Vladimir Putin for the supply of Russian diesel failed. He added that Americans knew that a key reason for the high fuel prices was the war of the US and Israel against Iran. #Τραμπ #Ρεπουμπλικανοί #καύσιμα #US #RU #IL #IR (translated)
