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)

Nikolas Apelaios II described the days leading up to the Italian attack on Greece, from October 23 to 27, 1940, stating that the Greek ambassador in Rome had informed the government that the attack was expected between October 25 and 28. According to him, Italian reconnaissance aircraft were photographing military points of interest, while senior Greek officials considered the attack imminent. Apelaios reported that on October 24, Ioannis Metaxas recorded in his diary rumors of an attack the next day and informed the chiefs of staff to remain in Athens or to notify where they were. On October 25, according to the post, Metaxas informed the Cabinet about the concentration of Italian troops at the border, and the government rejected both substantial territorial concessions and symbolic gestures toward Italy. He noted that Metaxas and his ministers did not attend the premiere of the opera "Madama Butterfly" at the Royal Theater on October 25, in the presence of Antonio Puccini and Curzio Malaparte. From the government, as he wrote, Deputy Foreign Minister Mavroudis and Deputy Minister of Press Nikolidis attended. The next day, Ambassador Politis reported that the Athens–Rome airline had been suspended until further notice. In his narrative, at the reception of the Italian embassy on October 26, Ambassador Grazzi was often absent, while on the upper floor the ultimatum to Greece was being dictated from Rome. Nikolidis called Metaxas early on October 27 regarding reports of incidents at the border. Apelaios noted that the Athens News Agency denied the news at 04:00, following an order from Metaxas. Apelaios also wrote that, on October 27, Greek and Italian officers met to discuss the incidents, while the Greek government was receiving information about the movements of Italian units towards the border. He added that shortly after Metaxas left his office, information arrived from the Italian embassy that a declaration of war was imminent, but it was decided not to inform him. According to him, the Prime Minister's car departed for Kifisia without him knowing the information. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #ΔεύτεροςΠαγκόσμιοςΠόλεμος (translated)

Maria Karystianou criticized Adonis Georgiadis, saying that, in her opinion, he had shifted the public discussion from the issue of transparency to ideological confrontations and attacks on those who hold power. She argued that the participation of Greek ministers and MPs in meetings with foreign lobbying groups in a private club was not a private matter and that politicians were held accountable daily, not just in elections. Karystianou stated that the journalistic record of the participants in such meetings did not constitute intimidation, but rather was part of press freedom. She added that foreign policy and the defense of national interests should, in her view, be conducted institutionally, with transparency and respect for international law. In the postscript to her statement, she referred to public statements by Georgiadis and Maria Pagoni regarding a bioresonance machine, which, as she wrote, had a European CE marking and had not been previously verified. She also mentioned that she had information about leaks from the ministry concerning her alleged participation in a company that conducted chemotherapy without a license. She claimed that she only operated her own clinic, accused the minister of targeting her, and stated that he would lose. #Διαφάνεια #Δημοκρατία #Ελευθεροτυπία (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)

DrDp wrote that he had seen a photograph in which, according to his post, personal and confidential medical data of a deceased person were publicly exposed. He asked whether the Medical Association of Athens (ISA) found this exposure acceptable and how many ethical violations could be justified for television viewership. He pointed out that the details of the prescription could not, in his opinion, be known randomly and requested an investigation into who had leaked them to the journalist. He added that the information might have come from a doctor or pharmacist who had access to it. DrDp also accused ISA of having already contributed to the problem through omissions and alleged checks at the Kolonaki clinic and that his silence regarding the photograph constituted a second insult to the memory of the person. He concluded that medical ethics and dignity do not cease to matter after death, adding the hashtag #Mazanakis. #apokalypseis #ιατρική #δεοντολογία #δημοσιότητα (translated)

Completely Exhausted referred to information from dikastiko reportaz and wrote that the 39-year-old who allegedly raped her mother and a student was Irini Mourthou. He also identified her as the woman who, as reported, abducted the 10-year-old Markella and drugged her with the intention of raping her. The author claimed that some feminist female lawmakers had publicly written not to target her, describing her as a mother going through her own difficulties. According to him, political support and public urging to be treated with respect could lead to more lenient treatment, while she would continue to rape and abuse other women. Completely Exhausted blamed the feminist doctrine for the harm it allegedly caused first to the women themselves, and called for a departure from gynocentrism. He added that Justice should not apply "double standards." https://t.co/8q5fTkV89g #Δικαιοσύνη #Φεμινισμός #Κακοποίηση (translated)
