John Grant described as the most significant aspect of Rubio's visit, which he said he had not seen mentioned elsewhere, the official disconnection of Greece from the context of Greek-Turkish relations by the "deep American state" which, according to him, was represented by Rubio. He added that Greece would henceforth be strengthened in an unequal manner. #Ελλάδα #Ρούμπιο #ΕξωτερικήΠολιτική (translated)

Emily Yiolitis accused some of reproducing a misleading title to promote, as she said, "pseudo-patriotism," instead of listening to her entire discussion with Feidias. She added that others did it out of ignorance and others deliberately. Yiolitis stated that she presented her vision for a free, united, and democratic Cyprus, from Paphos to Kyrenia and Rizokarpaso. She declared that she honored the history and sacrifices of the heroes of EOKA and did not question the connection of the Greek national anthem with the struggles of Hellenism. At the same time, she mentioned that she envisioned a common agreement between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots for a truly free Republic of Cyprus, with a common anthem that would express freedom, democracy, and peaceful co-existence. She described a state without constituent parts, divisions, or minority groups of different speeds, where every citizen would have one vote. According to her, such an anthem would not negate the sacrifices of the heroes but would justify them. Yiolitis characterized this position as the essence of her intervention and said that the distortions took her away from its real meaning. She added that she was glad if her statements contributed even a little to a dialogue for the liberation of Cyprus, away from rigidities of the bi-zonal, bi-communal federation type. #Ελευθερία #Δημοκρατία #Πατριωτισμός (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)

Jan wrote that the fraud case, which he claimed involved Philip Kamouris and his wife against the EFKA, started in 2021 and exceeded 5.3 million euros. He claimed that it was revealed by an employee and not by the state or the police authorities, while he described the country in particularly derogatory terms. #Σκάνδαλο #Δικαιοσύνη #Ελλάδα (translated)

Karditsastakra wrote that Chrysanthi, 36 years old and a dentist, closed her practice and left the national health system because she refused a mandatory medical procedure. According to him, this decision left her without a salary, insurance, or the possibility of finding another job, along with thousands of health workers. The author mentioned that Chrysanthi faced poverty for a year, participated in protests, and demanded to return to her job. He asserted that she had no substantial support from medical associations, politicians, colleagues, or other entities and that the financial and psychological pressure contributed to her decision to end her life. Karditsastakra attributed the responsibility for her situation to the state and criticized the government's stance toward health workers who refused the mandatory medical procedure. He also referenced a statement by Stelios Petsas that Chrysanthi did not adapt and argued that she chose to resist. He concluded by saying that Chrysanthi will remain, in his view, a symbol of the struggle for freedom and dignity, and called for the imprisonment of those he considered responsible for her death. #Ελευθερία #Δικαιώματα #Ανθρωπισμός (translated)

Maria Denaxa wrote that when a country is fully privatized, it turns into a company and no longer a country. She argued that in a company, decisions are made by the CEO and the shareholders, not by the employees or the majority, and that this way, one cannot speak of a state or democracy. According to her, this was happening in Greece, France, and Europe, and it would expand worldwide when globalization was completed. #Δημοκρατία #Παγκοσμιοποίηση #Ιδιωτικοποίηση (translated)

Aretí Athanasiou conveyed the criticism of neurosurgeon Papanikolaou towards Adonis Georgiadis, saying that for 14 months he had not commented on his signature in a joint ministerial decision of the Ministries of Health and Economy, on August 11, 2025. According to Papanikolaou, the decision stated that public hospital facilities could be rented to private doctors collaborating with private clinic owners, operating as private clinics with payment from patients, and the tenants should pay rent to the state. He connected the decision with the renovation of buildings with public resources from the Recovery Fund and what he described as deliberate understaffing. #Υγεία #Νευροχειρουργική #ΔημόσιαΝοσοκομεία (translated)

Amalia wrote that a recent report by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the heroization of Nazism and racism included a separate chapter on Greece. She stated that her post was not addressed to the Left and argued that some leftists supported Vladimir Putin's regime in the hope of reviving the USSR, which she considered unlikely. At the same time, she criticized those who identified as right-wing and, according to her, idealized Russia as a country of traditional values, opposed to irregular migration and globalization, and friendly to Greece due to Orthodoxy. According to the excerpts of the report she provided, the Russian ministry accused Greece of not recognizing a Turkish national minority in Thrace, but only a Muslim one, which included Turks, Pomaks, and Roma, totaling over 120,000 people. The report allegedly also mentioned restrictions on the use of the term "Turkish" by associations, state appointment of muftis, and concerns of the UN Committee on Racial Discrimination regarding the self-determination rights of the community. Regarding Kos and Rhodes, according to Amalia, the report claimed that Muslims were not recognized as a minority and did not have Turkish-speaking schools. Amalia also stated that the report accused Greece of poor reception and detention conditions for refugees, illegal returns of asylum seekers to Turkey, and pushback operations. According to her, it also compared the treatment of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa with the hosting of 23,800 Ukrainians. Finally, she wrote that the report charged Greece with not having ratified the framework convention for national minorities, the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and the international convention on the rights of migrant workers and their families. #Ελλάδα #Ρωσία #ΥπουργείοΕξωτερικών (translated)

Because I hear it often lately, let me clarify the misunderstanding. Since 2016, Turkey has been closely following the Islamic model and has largely dismantled the old Kemalist establishment. And even if Erdoğan were to leave, the embrace with the Muslim Brotherhood will NOT stop. Turkey is now an eastern state, with a NATO guise. I don't think it will find common ground with Israel, even in the long term, let alone in the short term. #Τουρκία #Ισλάμ #Πολιτική (translated)

In memory of Panagiotakis 😔 thanks to #rififi we remembered him again or learned his story, a story that hits like a punch in the gut, a story that will always haunt us.

⚠️ Alexandros Exarchou: The name of the businessman that the media and the political system dare not pronounce. 🔸 On September 25, @WSJ revealed that American ambassador Kimberly Gillfoyle is promoting the participation of the Aktor group in billion-euro deals for the transportation of American LNG through Greece. 🔸 The American newspaper extensively referred to the CEO of Aktor, Alexandros Exarchou, as well as lobbyist Christos Marafatsos, who received $160,000 from Aktor for developing contacts with the Trump administration. 🔸 Together with shipowners Mbako and Kaymenaki, Mr. Exarchou has a strong presence in the Greek economy and politics. In construction. In energy. In banking. In media. In sports. 🔸 The Aktor group receives government contracts worth hundreds of millions of euros, while, as we have documented, Mr. Exarchou is being prosecuted by the European Prosecutor's Office in the case of Contract 717 for the Tempi. 🔸 The Wall Street Journal mentions Mr. Exarchou's name 11 times in its report. Yet, most systemic media managed to reproduce the report without mentioning the businessman. 🔸 To Vima, Ta Nea, Mega, and https://t.co/SdHHnEpDDn of the Marinakis group did not mention either Aktor or Mr. Exarchou. The same applies to the Kathimerini of the Alafouzos group, the Naftemporiki of the Melissanidis group, Open of Ivan Savvidis, the Real group of Hatzinikolaou - Kouris, Protos Thema of Tassos Karamitsos, and News247 of Dimitris Mari. Finally, Parapolitika and iefimerida, both of which are owned by Exarchou. 🔸 SKAI and Newsbreak removed their articles highlighting the publication. 🔸 Most media only highlighted the -concerning and dangerous- statement by Ms. Gillfoyle about the ability of the U.S. to overthrow governments, including the Greek one. 🔸 In contrast, a minority of media referred to Mr. Exarchou. Special mention for the completeness of coverage goes to @Financial_RepGR by journalist @ioannoychristos, as well as @ThePressProject. 🔸 Aside from systemic media, neither of the ruling parties mentioned Mr. Exarchou and Aktor in their statements. Neither ND nor ELAS nor PASOK. 🔸 The Wall Street Journal's publication also revealed that Mr. Marafatsos lobbied for the Metlen (of Evangelos Mytilineos) and Kopelouzos groups. None of the aforementioned media or parties mentioned these two names. ✊ Reporters United does reporting with names and surnames because it does not accept money from the state or from businessmen.

Athens awarded the Democracy Prize to Pedro Sánchez. His political courage is at the heart of this award. A word easy in speeches. Much harder in decisions. Because political courage is not defending a principle when everyone agrees with you. It's defending it when there are pressures, threats, costs. In Iran, he refused to allow the use of Spanish bases for military operations, reminding us of something fundamental: alliance does not mean submission. He recognized the Palestinian state and openly condemned the genocide in Gaza. And he did not hesitate to set rules for the "tech-oligarchs," reminding us that the future of artificial intelligence cannot be left in the hands of a few powerful individuals. Athens honors Pedro Sánchez because in a time when it is easy to remain silent, he spoke out. And in a time when many hide, he stood tall. Pedro Sánchez reminds us that "we must never stop fighting." For Athens, the city that birthed democracy, this struggle is ongoing. #Δημοκρατία #Πολιτική #Θάρρος (translated)

For forty-five years, the Greek state has not been able to define maritime borders even with Italy, but now suddenly some "diplomats" from Menidi are screaming because we are not declaring an EEZ and 12 nautical miles in the Aegean... As if it were something like ordering pita gyros at Vrasida. As if the foreign policy of a country is always one-dimensional and does not change due to other factors... #no_more_charcoal_for_christ's_sake #όχι_άλλο_κάρβουνο_μωρέ #ΕξωτερικήΠολιτική #ΑΟΖ #Αιγαίο (translated)
