The Proper Greek Analyst wrote that, according to a report by the Financial Times on October 16, 2026, Italy had secured a preliminary agreement with the European Commission for an intervention mechanism in wholesale electricity prices when the price of natural gas exceeded 59 euros per MWh. He mentioned that the mechanism was based on the Iberian Exception. The author added that the bill proposed an increase of two percentage points in the IRAP tax for the years 2026 and 2027, with estimated revenues of 1.08 billion euros for the Italian state during the period 2026-2028. According to the post, the additional revenues would be directed towards reducing electricity bills for specific businesses. He also cited a statement from the Italian Prime Minister that the agreement would allow intervention in the way electricity prices were set, in order to address the impact of natural gas costs. The Proper Greek Analyst wondered why Greece was not seeking a similar intervention and criticized Greek journalists for not highlighting the development, as he wrote. In the post, he compared their stance to that of Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the European Council. https://t.co/pAWnS2oBWc #ενεργεια #ρευμα #Κομισιον #καύσιμα #ενεργεια #ρευμα #καύσιμα (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that the Greek Left Coalition (EL.AS.) was created within society and not in Parliament or behind closed party doors. He said that the effort continued with its own forces, without state funding and with meetings all over Greece. He claimed that the creation of EL.AS. overturned plans and that the need for its establishment was becoming increasingly apparent. He described the rising costs as an "invisible memorandum" that, he said, burdened expenses on fuel, food, and living, primarily affecting those who were not favored. He added that the government's narrative about stability and a third term was not convincing. Tsipras said that EL.AS. was facing attacks, which it would meet calmly, and that its goal was to address the problems of Greek society and propose alternative solutions. He characterized the government as its only opponent, accusing it of creating the problems. Referring to the meeting of the Political Committee, he said the message was for EL.AS. to continue with its own political identity and clear program, aiming for a progressive government with itself as a core. He called for the creation of a winning current and stated that the effort would focus on combating corruption, inequalities, rising costs, and uncertainty. #ΕΛΑΣ #Αριστερά #Πολιτική (translated)

The author of the post argued that speculation in the electricity market continued with the support of the government. He stated that he proceeded with a new parliamentary intervention regarding what he called unjustifiable increases in the cost of electricity, focusing this time on the balancing cost which, according to him, burdens the bills of households and businesses. https://t.co/c7S3kryYDv #ηλεκτρικήενέργεια #κερδοσκοπία #κυβέρνηση #GR (translated)

The author wrote that Mitsotakis, Androulakis, and Tsipras were ready to continue, as he described it, their destructive work. He connected them with the creation of funds and the loss of homes for Greeks, with the energy stock market which, as he said, skyrocketed electricity prices, as well as with the marriage of same-sex couples and other unpopular measures. In the end, he named Mitsotakis. https://t.co/nWtjCUMjD9 #Ελλάδα #Πολιτική #Κοινωνία #GR (translated)

The author wrote that batteries and cables had to be combined with solar and wind, otherwise the effort was futile.

Avgerinosx wondered whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis or Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was more dangerous for the Greeks. He argued that Mitsotakis chose to oppose Russia without reason, seeking to be on the "right side of history," and linked this policy to losses of 2 billion euros in tourism, a 751% increase in electricity, and a 40% increase in gasoline. He added that the US would eventually buy Russian oil, while Greece would procure more expensive LNG, resulting, according to him, in heating costs rising from 1,000 euros to 1,700–1,900 euros. He also mocked Mitsotakis's education at Harvard and referenced the Predator, concluding with an insulting remark about those who voted for him. #Τι_ψηφίσατε_ρε_μαλάκες #Μητσοτάκης #Ερντογάν #Ρεύμα (translated)
