France is in social turmoil as students, pupils, and educators protest in the streets for the improvement of educational conditions, with the government trying to separate the demands from the incidents of violence, and the coming days will determine whether this mobilization is temporary or part of a broader social front.

🚨 Today we asked something very simple about the filling up in Tempes: Pavlos Marinakis had declared that the "work" was done to lift the carriages and find people alive. Adonis Georgiadis said that voices and cries could be heard. Makarios Lazaridis said it was a matter of human lives. 📌 However, the official report states that the last trapped survivors had been freed by 00:20. When large cranes and a bulldozer started arriving around 04:00, the operation was now about retrieving bodies. ❓ So we asked: Were you uninformed about what had really happened or were you consciously lying that the cranes were going to retrieve living people? ❌ To this question, the government spokesman did not respond. 🎯 Instead of answering, he followed the classic tactic: He tried to divert the discussion, attacking the journalist who posed the question, talking again about "career" and "weaponizing" human pain. ❓ But who is really making a career out of this case? The journalist who asks what the relatives want to be asked or a government spokesman who is paid to defend the government's positions? 💬 We are neither paid based on whether the government does well nor do we have any interest in whether a government that defends what happened after the accident will communicate well. Another ⚠️ And most importantly: these questions are raised by the relatives themselves. How is it that the one who conveys the relatives' question is "weaponizing" their pain, while the one who represents a government that treats the relatives as opponents (according to their statement) appears to be the one who respects human pain? 🔴 Then he said something else. That then he "had no such authority." And immediately afterward claimed that later he simply "transfers the real data as they are." ❓ But if he had no authority and did not know what had happened on the ground, how did he know that the work was done to find people alive? ⚖️ Here there are two possibilities. Either they did not know what had really happened and yet they spoke publicly with certainty. Or they did know. One is a huge issue of criminal incompetence. The other is much worse. 🕯️ And we are talking about a case in which there are people mourning their children and relatives. 🔎 That’s why we insisted. We asked him again, now that there is an official report: Do you still insist that the specific work was done to find people alive? Do you still stand by what you said then? ❌ He did not answer there either. ⚽ And then the familiar refrain followed. The ball is in the stands. 🎭 The classic Machiavellian tactic: I do not answer today to what you are asking me. I load it onto a third party and preferably into an indefinite future, when perhaps I won’t even be here to bear the political cost of the answer. ⚖️ The "independent" Justice will decide. Somehow. Somewhere. Someday. 📍 In short: you ask him if he acknowledges that the government made inaccuracies about the filling up and if he still defends what he said then. And instead of answering, he tells you that Justice, somehow, somewhere, someday, will decide. (translated)

«Θέλετε να μάθετε πόσο παράλογη είναι η κατάσταση εκεί, και έως πού φτάνει η αντιισραηλινή προπαγάνδα;»Μιλώντας χθες, Τρίτη, το βράδυ στο αμερικανικό δίκτυο Fox News, ο Νετανιάχου δήλωσε ότι το Ισραήλ προειδοποίησε στις 8 Σεπτεμβρίου το Λονδίνο για πιθανή ιρανική συνομωσία, λίγο πριν η βρετανική κυβέρνηση ανακοινώσει μέτρα για να απαγορεύσει την εισαγωγή προϊόντων που προέρχονται από ισραηλινούς οικισμούς στη Δυτική Όχθη. #Ισραήλ #Ιράν #ΔυτικήΌχθη

With the opposition being a "circus" against him, @kmitsotakis should have been taking a walk, maintaining the 41% of 2023. However, the absence of @grigoris_d from Maximos during the second term is evident. The once perfectly tuned duo with the rare chemistry no longer exists, and the government mechanism appears disorganized, falling into continuous mistakes. The return of Grigoris Dimitriadis is necessary to stop the lack of communication and to bring order back to the government. (translated)

Last night on KONTERRA with Loukia Gkatsou: The government's measures leave the energy cartel and servicers untouched, which is why they are not addressing either profiteering or the plundering of housing. The solution is a cap on the retail price of electricity, abolition of the (translated)

Why are batteries not manufactured in Greece, like in Bulgaria? Simply because this would lower electricity prices in the evening - as it would not require the involvement of natural gas, whose high price is charged by all the others for the electricity from their renewable sources. If batteries were manufactured, then the energy cartel would lose subsidies and charge high prices - so this is the reason we export very cheap electricity to Bulgaria in the afternoon, which fills its batteries and sells it back to us very expensive in the evening. Does the government know this? Of course, much better than us - it just does nothing and mocks us with charity allowances to lull us to sleep. (translated)

"This is the first Special Court where a government minister will be tried for dereliction of duty, which they said was 'the most disgraceful' when Papangelopoulos and Pappas were on trial. In what normal country would the Minister of Justice, who said 'anyone who talks about dumping is worthless,' remain in their position after the referral of a deputy minister and several others for dumping?" (translated)

The arrivals of illegal migrants in Crete have no end, while the government claims that the flows have decreased. At the same time, the creation of a new hosting facility in Heraklion, at the former Skouloudis factory, is proceeding despite the reactions of the residents. (translated)

‼️ Police officer with numbers written in marker on insignia that are not visible not just to the naked eye, but not even to a full HD camera. 👉 And right next to him another police officer with no identification numbers at all 🤡 This is the big clownery of the Greek state and the Greek government: one has something written in marker that no one can see, the one next to him has nothing, and everyone generally does whatever they want, while the government continues to breach what it itself said, that it would put insignia on the police officers. Do you believe that the government is fooling us or just forgot? (translated)

⚠️ 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.

My campaign in my electoral district of Northern Athens has already started. I now have two to three gatherings with supporters and people daily. From yesterday, I want to highlight the meeting with some of my supporters in Platanos Melissi. First, because I love this place which has amazing food, and second, because we sat for quite a while and had a very nice discussion with mature people. Let's go strong for the new self-sufficient Government of @kmitsotakis. (translated)

We persisted. We pressured. We were vindicated. When we asked for 120 installments to give citizens some relief, the government said it wasn't possible. Today, it announces what it dismissed until yesterday. For me, the vindication of PASOK is valuable because it gives hope to the person drowning in debt. (translated)
