Chris Avramidis wrote that Pavlos Marinakis had met with Kimberly Guilfoyle on September 16 and described their conversation as "extremely productive and substantial." According to Avramidis, less than a month later, Donald Trump requested her resignation amid allegations and reports regarding her behavior. Avramidis mentioned that he asked what was discussed in the meeting and whether topics related to the Vertical Corridor and the business interests surrounding it were raised. In his description, Marinakis initially responded by criticizing those who found the meeting problematic, while later stating that among the topics were the embassy press releases and the communication of the visits of American officials. Avramidis cited reports indicating that Guilfoyle was asking businessmen for hundreds of thousands of dollars, even to pay off her luxury Mercedes. He added that, according to reports, she had made derogatory comments about Greeks during the crisis. Regarding the Vertical Corridor, Avramidis wrote that Marinakis responded that the agreement was signed before Guilfoyle arrived in Greece. He clarified that his questions concerned the subsequent processes and the business interests surrounding the implementation of the project. According to Avramidis, the government spokesperson extensively presented the energy strategy, mentioning among others ExxonMobil, Chevron, Bergam, Rubio, Houston, and Ukraine, but responded negatively to the question of whether he discussed these issues with Guilfoyle. Avramidis added that Marinakis hinted that those who disagreed with the Vertical Corridor might, albeit inadvertently, express the positions of neighboring countries. He argued that the project would increase the prices consumers would pay and stated that he would continue to ask government officials about their meetings with foreign officials and the interests surrounding multi-billion dollar agreements. #Κυβέρνηση #ΕπιχειρηματικάΣυμφέροντα #Διπλωματία (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)

Adonis Georgiadis said that the day before yesterday he attended a meeting of Greek and Israeli politicians at the Athens Club, organized by a group of supporters of Greece-Israel relations. He mentioned that the goal was to strengthen bilateral relations and create stronger parliamentary support groups. He reiterated that he considered the strategic relationship with Israel a major national interest. Georgiadis claimed that Reporters United was video-recording those who were entering and leaving the Athens Club and published a post the next day criticizing the meeting. He said he did not respond immediately because he was touring Epirus and inaugurating, as he mentioned, Health Centers and emergency departments of hospitals. He added that elected officials were accountable to their voters and not to social media accounts. He then referred to the response of PASOK MP Pavlos Christidis to Reporters United, which he characterized as ridiculous and excessively apologetic. He criticized Christidis, saying he had backed down under pressure, and urged him to withdraw his response. Georgiadis stated that he supported the strategic relationship between Greece and Israel and the creation of support parliamentary groups, adding that his positions would be judged in the next elections by the Greek people. #Ελλάδα #Ισραήλ #πολιτική (translated)
