Chris Avramidis argued that inflation burdened citizens and that inflation was not inevitable, as he wrote, the money leaving one side ended up on another. He noted that refineries reported profits of about 1 billion euros in the first half of 2026 and described the sector as an oligopoly essentially consisting of the Vardinoyannis and Latsis groups. He accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of allowing them to go unchecked and pointed out that proposals had been made to address the situation. He raised the question of why there was a profit cap at gas stations but not at refineries, reminding that a cap had been implemented in 2022 by New Democracy. Avramidis also supported the immediate extraordinary taxation of refineries. He said he had repeatedly brought the issue to the government spokesman and mentioned that a similar measure had been implemented in several countries, including Poland under Donald Tusk's government, whom he described as right-wing. Regarding the effects of inflation, he noted that general inflation could be set at 5.1%, but that rate, in his opinion, did not reflect the real burden on the poorest. He explained that large increases in everyday goods, such as milk, food, and other essentials, were offset in the general index by smaller increases in categories like insurance and financial services. He added that lower incomes spent a larger portion of their money on the goods that had risen most in price. In closing, he thanked Kontra and Konstantinos Maravelidis for the invitation. #Ακρίβεια #Πληθωρισμός #Οικονομία (translated)

Nikī Tsavela stated that Antonis Samaras had instructed his supporters to accuse New Democracy of distorting its identity by broadening its appeal to other political spheres. She contrasted this with the European elections of 2014, when Samaras was prime minister, and claimed that Maria Spiraki, whom she described as a close associate of Akis Tsochatzopoulos, was his chosen candidate. She wrote that Samaras's team was intensely pressuring the party organizations to vote for her and that Spiraki received almost half a million votes. Tsavela mocked the reference to the "immaculate" faction and added that Samaras always had, to his credit, close friends from other political spheres. #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Ευρωεκλογές #Πολιτική (translated)

Tsibos wrote that, according to what happened in Como, the NBA's proposal that both sides had said they would not discuss was ultimately the only one that was discussed and rejected. He also noted that factions had formed, despite the unified stance that had been presented in previous days. According to him, the rejection was not so definitive, as the NBA was given a 30-day deadline to potentially submit a new proposal with better financial terms, without a franchise being announced — something that, as he wrote, constituted a red line for the NBA. He added that the parties sought to obtain money from new franchises without conceding shares, and wondered whether the NBA would accept the deadline. #NBA #sports #Κόμος (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)
