Anavaloglou Georgios mentioned that Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated in Brussels on 16/10 that the government would not distribute money for political reasons. He contrasted the policies of other countries, saying that Italy planned to tax banks with a target of 5 billion euros in revenue by 2027, the Netherlands aimed to impose an extraordinary contribution of 617 million euros, and Austria would extend an additional contribution of 300 million euros for the same year. He added that Slovakia would maintain an increased tax rate for banks in 2027 as well. Regarding refineries, Anavaloglou said that Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, and Austria had requested a windfall tax from the Commission, while Greece was not among those countries. He cited pre-tax profits of 1.998 billion euros for the two Greek refineries in the first half of 2026, compared to 210 million euros in the corresponding period last year: 891.7 million for Motor Oil and 1.106.4 million for HELLENiQ. He also referenced an interview on ERT on 17/9, where, according to him, Mitsotakis said he preferred money to be returned to citizens through fuel prices rather than collected by the state budget. Anavaloglou noted that the refineries received subsidies of 277 million euros, while the heating allowance increased by only 52 million euros compared to last year. He concluded that this was a political choice and raised the question of whether the Prime Minister sought to be popular with citizens or with those, as he wrote, who profited from the crisis and from whom he sought electoral support. #πολιτική #φορολογία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that he respected the parties of the progressive opposition, including PASOK, the KKE, and SYRIZA. He mentioned that he had resigned as a member of parliament more than a year ago and that he had not utilized parliamentary privileges, state compensations, or party assets for his political plans. Tsipras said he believed in the programmatic agreement and joint action of progressive forces, although the parties would remain competitive. He added that, as an elected prime minister twice with percentages of 35-36%, he had taken the risk of simple proportional representation, which, he said, had costs, but he did not regret it. Referring to the leadership of PASOK, he estimated that its choice to regard ELAS and him as main opponents concealed a fear of forming a progressive alternative government centered around the Greek Left Coalition. He further claimed that some in the opposition preferred Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the right over such a government, and for that reason, they opted, according to him, for a strategy of tension and constant attacks. #ΠροοδευτικήΑντιπολίτευση #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα (translated)

“If some people believe that we will blow the budget and distribute money left and right to become politically appealing and undermine all the effort we have made over the last few years to perhaps become a little more likeable ahead of elections, I’m sorry, but I have proven many times that this is not my mentality.” Kyriakos Mitsotakis left open the possibility of additional, targeted interventions to address energy costs from Brussels, clarifying at the same time that the government will not jeopardize fiscal stability to become more appealing ahead of elections. #Μητσοτάκης #πολιτική #ενεργειακήκρίση (translated)

Georghy Zhukov reproduced a statement attributed to N. Plakias, who described Velopoulos as dangerous and used an insulting term for him.

Amalia challenged the leftist narrative regarding the participation of women in the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) during the Civil War, arguing that their enlistment did not necessarily indicate emancipation. She cited data indicating that about 10,000 women served in the DSE, approximately a quarter of its total strength. Of these, she wrote, 30% participated in combat units while the rest worked in the rear. At the time of the posting, 3,000 of the women were "Slavo-Macedonians." Amalia mentioned that these women were connected to the Anti-Fascist Women’s Front of Macedonia (AFŽ), which was established in Skopje on December 14, 1944, and functioned as the women's section of the NOF. The NOF, she wrote, was founded in Skopje in April 1945 with the initiative and support of Tito and, after an agreement between the KKE and Tito, was incorporated into the DSE. She argued that these organizations aimed for the incorporation of Greek Macedonia into the "Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." Amalia stated that after the Stalin-Tito split in 1948, the KKE established the Nationwide Democratic Women’s Union (PDEG), as it could no longer control the AFŽ. According to the posting, the first event of the PDEG took place on October 25, 1948, in Kallithea Prespa, with 44 women, seven of whom were "Slavo-Macedonians." Chrysa Chatzivassiliou was elected president, who, as she wrote, was described in a misogynistic manner by party officials. She also cited a report by Nikos Zachariadis to Stalin on October 17, 1950, regarding the condemnation of Chatzivassiliou by the 3rd Conference. Regarding the other 7,000 women, Amalia argued that the majority were forcibly recruited. She referenced Markos Vafeiadis's estimate that from mid-1947, recruitment into the DSE had become "entirely violent" and that volunteers did not exceed 10%. She also cited research by the author Tasoula Ververioti on the educational level of women, as well as testimonies about difficult living conditions, shortages of clothing and hygiene products, and health issues. She added that many had suffered sexual assaults. As sources, Amalia cited works by Tasoula Ververioti and Margarita Lazaridou, as well as material from the Philip Hiliou Archive at the ASKI. In the end, she mentioned Mirka Ginova (Irene Gkin), Katina Andrejeva (Andreopoulou), Afrodita Dovalovska, and Jordana Slatnikova, along with their places of origin. #Γυναίκες #Αριστερά #Ιστορία (translated)

The narrative of the 3rd term is not walking. In purely political terms, Mr. Tsipras stated that "the narrative of the 3rd term is not walking," adding that the same applies to the narrative of stability, "facing an unpredictable winter ahead." #Τσίπρας #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Πολιτική (translated)

Young people express legitimate concerns. The president of the country, Emmanuel Macron, taking the floor during today’s cabinet meeting in Paris, acknowledged that "young people express legitimate concerns," but expressed regret that these concerns are "politically exploited and turned into urban violence with unacceptable scenes." #Γαλλία #μαθητικές_κινητοποιήσεις #αστυνομία (translated)

Today's power seeks a dream of totalitarianism. A politics without opponents. A monophonic press, a dependent judiciary, a powerless parliament, a frightened society. And at the end of all this, a power that will never change. Mr. İmamoğlu reiterated that the prosecution against him has purely political motives and aims to exclude him from political life, while he argued that the government systematically weakens democratic institutions to eliminate the possibility of political change. #Ιμάμογλου #Ερντογάν #πολιτική (translated)

Kostas Vaxevanis wrote that politicians in Greece who had been photographed with the US ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle may remove the photos and reconsider their memories. He argued that their visits had no substantial institutional content but referred to the doctrine of ambassador John Purifoy, whom he described as a person who managed political affairs in Greece. He added that the stance of politicians towards the Greek dimension of "Guilfoyle Gate" would show whether their photo ops expressed submission. #ΚιμπερλιΓκιλφόιλ #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα (translated)

The author of the post claimed that politicians and journalists were panicked after the latest polls and the rapid rise of the ALLIANCE OF GREEKS, as he described it.

Nikos Appelaios II wrote that, two days earlier, Antonis Samaras had attempted, through the US embassy and a close diplomatic friend of his at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to meet with Rubio at the hotel where he was staying. According to him, Samaras sought a brief standing meeting to secure a photo that he could use politically. He added that he had also sought the mediation of Kimberly Guilfoyle, but the request was categorically denied, while he used a derogatory term for Samaras. #Σαμαράς #πολιτική #διπλωματία (translated)

Kostas Kyriatzis wrote that the day before, a significant restriction on the freedom to dispose of money was voted on, in his estimation. He mentioned that cash payments upon delivery were no longer allowed, not even for the amount of one euro, and that the use of a card was mandatory. He added that no one noticed the change. #Χρήμα #Ελευθερία #Πολιτικά (translated)

To hear from a party leader that "our Coast Guard officers are hiding," those who were trained and sworn in by the Gospel and carry the national emblem? I reject it politically, and it does not reflect honor for the one who says it," said Vasilis Kikilias, adding with particular intensity, striking the desk: "I do not accept it." #Πολιτική #Βουλή #Λιμενικό (translated)

Nena Palaiopanu claimed that the Hellenic Police removed from a video of Alexis Tsipras's statement the part where he, according to her, referred to the GSI electrical and energy interconnection cable as a telecommunications cable. She referred to a video by the Truth Team and to a link with a timestamp of 2:11, saying that the cut of the statement was visible there. Palaiopanu described Tsipras as dangerous and politically incompetent, while accusing the Hellenic Police of propaganda and lies. She added that he aimed to return to the premiership along with his associates, whom she described in derogatory terms. #Τσιπρας #ΕΛΑΣ #ΣΥΡΙΖΑ_rebranded #GSI #Τσιπρας #ΣΥΡΙΖΑ_rebranded #ΕΛΑΣ (translated)
