How important is the printed press, responsible journalism compared to the mass media which today, unfortunately, very often create what we experience or the bad things, if you will, that we experience. Upon attending the anniversary event "150 Years Estia – Greece - Cyprus", which took place in the ceremonial hall of the University of Cyprus, Mr. Anastasiades greeted the 150 years of life "of a newspaper that wrote history," while emphasizing "how important the printed press is, responsible journalism compared to the mass media which today, unfortunately, very often create what we experience or the bad things, if you will, that we experience." #ΥπεύθυνηΔημοσιογραφία #ΕφημερίδαΕστία #ΜέσαΜαζικήςΕπικοινωνίας (translated)

Pen Dalaura referred to what Kostas Vaxevanis mentioned about Mr. Bekiris, whom he compared to the "new Lazaridis" at the Maximos Mansion. According to Vaxevanis, there was no official government gazette appointing him at the Maximos Mansion and, therefore, he had no obligation to submit a wealth declaration, while he was presented as a volunteer. She added that his biography stated he was a graduate of a French university in social sciences, but he had not presented his degree. Pen Dalaura also conveyed Vaxevanis' questions about whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis knew what was happening and why he had not acted, or if he knew and was covering for him. #Μητσοτάκης #πολιτική #σκάνδαλο (translated)

Amalia compared the events that, as she wrote, were happening during those days in France with the "Red May" of 1968. She argued that there were similarities in the demands and images of conflicts with the police, arsons, and vandalism. She presented the leftists as the main actors of the mobilizations at that time and, in a secondary role, their descendants, while stating that the leading role was now taken by people of French origin from Africa. According to her narrative, the unrest of 1968 began on March 22 with an occupation at the University of Nanterre. After its closure on May 2, the clashes spread to the Sorbonne and the streets of Paris. Amalia stated that on May 6 there were about 500 injured, and that the tension peaked on May 10, during the "Night of the Barricades," when Daniel Cohn-Bendit, known as "Red Dani," emerged. Amalia wrote that on May 13, unions controlled by the Socialist and Communist Parties declared a 24-hour strike and participated in the demonstrations. In the following days, according to her, factory occupations and strikes in various sectors paralyzed production, with the country being, as she claimed, on the brink of a civil war by May 20. She mentioned that on May 22, Cohn-Bendit went to Germany and the Netherlands, but the French government revoked his residence permit and did not allow him to return. According to Amalia, this development led to new incidents, while the leftists were left without guidance. Amalia said that General Charles de Gaulle ultimately chose to address the people instead of deploying the army on the streets. On May 30, he announced the dissolution of the National Assembly and elections within 22 days, while, as she wrote, about 500,000 people demonstrated in Paris in support of him. She added that in the elections on June 23 and 30, the Right won 358 out of 485 seats. She also noted that leftists later accused the French Communist Party of abandoning the revolution under orders from Moscow. She cited Mattei Dogan's work "How Civil War Was Avoided in France" as a source. #Γαλλία #ΚόκκινοςΜάης #Ιστορία (translated)

Kostas Vaxevanis wrote that Documento had received complaints that Michalis Bekiris, the director of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' office, did not have a degree, even though his biography in Parliament stated that he graduated in Social Sciences with a degree from France. He himself noted that the newspaper's investigation did not locate a publication of Bekiris' appointment in the Government Gazette. According to Vaxevanis, when Documento asked Bekiris for his appointment and degree, he replied that he was offering voluntary services alongside Mitsotakis, in a position outside government structures, without clarifying whether he had a degree or from which French university. The journalist argued that advisors to prime ministers and ministers should be appointed and checked by law, whether they are compensated or not, and cited as an example the unpaid advisor at the Ministry of Culture, Anna Panagiotarea. Vaxevanis linked the issue to a previous publication by Documento, according to which Bekiris had bought a house in Patras at half the price. #Πολιτική #Διαφάνεια #Κοινωνία (translated)

Babis Georges Petrakis cited a publication from Le Figaro, dated 13/10/26, which, as he wrote, presented the 22-year-old Louise Montangon as a new star of the French public debate and as an opponent of the Islamo-left in television panels and social networks. According to the description of the publication he posted, Montangon was a graduate student of philosophy at Bordeaux-Montaigne University and became known through interventions for the student movement. The article stated that she calmly confronted students and educators who supported occupations, as well as a former Minister of Education, asserting that she reminded them that students were not entitled to disrupt classes, educators should not encourage illegal occupations, and minorities could not impose their will. Petrakis noted that the publication presented her as a representative of young people who wanted to work. #LouiseMontangon #ΝέαΓενιά #Εκπαίδευση (translated)
