Thanos Tsimeros argued that the European Union should not finance magazines with taxpayers' money, regardless of their themes. He mentioned that he learned about Bebe Magazine - Trans Issue from an interview with an artist who performed in a cabaret and from a message from a friend of his related to Belgium. According to what he cited from his friend's message, the publication promoted positions of the trans and queer communities and received funding through the EU's Erasmus+. His friend mentioned that the coordinator was the Belgian Bebe Books.vzw and that the Flemish organization JINT participated in the funding. He cited two grants that, as he reported, he found on the Erasmus website: €57,200 for the period 31/12/23–30/12/24 and €34,500 for the period 15/12/25–14/12/26. Tsimeros said that his friend had filed a complaint with JINT, EACEA, as well as with officials from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, and had also communicated with Greek MEPs. According to his description, he planned to appeal to the European Ombudsman after receiving responses from the agencies or after the expiration of a two-month deadline. #Φόροι #ΕΕ #Κουλτούρα (translated)

We will hang the flag of Northern Cyprus in the south.

Alexis Tsipras stated that the Greek Left Coalition (EL.AS.) was created within society and not in Parliament or behind closed party doors. He said that the effort continued with its own forces, without state funding and with meetings all over Greece. He claimed that the creation of EL.AS. overturned plans and that the need for its establishment was becoming increasingly apparent. He described the rising costs as an "invisible memorandum" that, he said, burdened expenses on fuel, food, and living, primarily affecting those who were not favored. He added that the government's narrative about stability and a third term was not convincing. Tsipras said that EL.AS. was facing attacks, which it would meet calmly, and that its goal was to address the problems of Greek society and propose alternative solutions. He characterized the government as its only opponent, accusing it of creating the problems. Referring to the meeting of the Political Committee, he said the message was for EL.AS. to continue with its own political identity and clear program, aiming for a progressive government with itself as a core. He called for the creation of a winning current and stated that the effort would focus on combating corruption, inequalities, rising costs, and uncertainty. #ΕΛΑΣ #Αριστερά #Πολιτική (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)

Alexis Tsipras stated that in Spili he met producers, whom he described as honest people working with dignity. In contrast, he accused those he referred to in derogatory terms of being in a café in Kolonaki, stealing subsidies instead of engaging in production. He argued that corruption and profiteering had reached unbearable levels and that cartels dominated all sectors. He said that the message from Spili was that a collective battle would be fought against corruption, moral degradation, and the economic impoverishment of the majority. He added that he had returned to stand against injustice and inequality, as he said the place deserved better. #Διαφθορά #Αδικία #ΚοινωνικήΔικαιοσύνη (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)

Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)
