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)
