#συγγνώμη

Sorry, I’m bothering you with my own issues as if you don’t have your own. I've received a few dozen emails lately that write some incredible nonsense about why I’m not performing at the KNE festival after so many years. It’s simply because I wasn’t invited. Sorry, continue with your own matters. (translated)

A few days ago at the Thessaloniki International Fair, @androulakisnick announced that if he becomes Prime Minister, he will install a Telemedicine system in Health Centers. Back then, I said that we already have such a system installed and operating. Today I had the opportunity, during the inauguration of the Health Center in Distomo, to ask the staff to give us a small demonstration of the Telemedicine System we have already installed and operates in all Health Centers of our country. I apologize to the President of PASOK that we did not wait for him to become Prime Minister to create it, but the current Prime Minister @kmitsotakis had given us the order to do it a long time ago, and together with the Deputy Minister of Health Mrs. Agapidakis, we wanted to honor his trust and above all save lives. We thank our staff for embracing the system with such enthusiasm. (translated)

- And who is your prime minister in Greece? - The one who stayed in the UN hall to listen to Netanyahu when everyone else left. - I'm sorry, I didn't know. (translated)

In 2002, as a student, I worked for a while at the reception of one of the biggest clubs of the time. Next door was the Echo Dome, it was one of those times when the night had a different intensity. That night at the Echo Dome, George Mazonakis was singing. I remember people waiting from early on. Sharp suits, sparkling dresses, And in all that brightness, there was one person that almost no one noticed. He was a quiet man. One of those who do their job, don't bother anyone, and at the end of the night leave without almost anyone remembering them. That night, however, something was weighing on him. He stood alone at the back of the bar, in a dimly lit spot near the drinks storage. He wasn't smiling. At some point, I saw him wiping his eyes. I didn't ask. In the nightlife, you learn not to always ask. When later I approached him as discreetly as I could, he simply told me: -"Just leave me here for a bit... I’m not in the mood for much. Sorry." I didn't insist. Later, from the development of the story, I realized that his daughter, who lived far away, wasn't answering his calls. There had been an ugly argument between them, and she, angry, didn’t pick up the phone. And this had shattered him. Not just because he missed her. But because he couldn't be there next to her, to look her in the eyes, maybe to apologize, to talk, to make amends. It is that strange guilt that a parent feels when their child is hurting, is upset with them, and is hundreds of kilometers away losing the chance for face-to-face explanations and to resolve any misunderstandings... Just before he took the stage for his program, Mazonakis passed by him. I don't know if someone had told him or if he simply noticed him as he walked by. I suppose the latter. I was about four or five meters away. Close enough, however, to hear their conversation. He passed by him. He stopped. He looked at him. -"Everything okay?". -"Good", George. An answer we all know means exactly the opposite. Mazonakis didn't walk past him. He sat next to him. And then the man broke down. Amid the tears, he spoke to him about his daughter. About the phone. About the unanswered calls. About that silence that, when it comes from a person you love, can feel heavier than a long conversation filled with shouts and tensions... Mazonakis listened to him. He didn't give him advice. He didn't say the typical “don't worry, everything will be okay”. He simply listened. At some point, he stood up. -"Give me her phone number." He called her from his personal phone. I remember exactly what he said: -"Hey, this is George Mazonakis. I don't know you. But next to me is a very sweet man. Your dad. And when you see him and you meet, please, give him a hug and do it for me." He hung up the phone. He shook the man's hand, gave him a friendly pat on the back, winked at him, and returned to the stage for the final rehearsals. A little later, he performed his show. He sang in front of hundreds of people. They applauded him, they cheered for him, they shouted his name. But at that moment, he didn’t act like some conceited, blasé “star” of bad times, one of those who usually pretends to be a big deal while building their supposed myth. He was simply a man who saw another person in pain and stood by him. Even for those three or four minutes that the scene lasted. And perhaps that is ultimately true greatness. Not to be applauded and adored by the many. But to be able, amidst a night full of lights, to notice the one person standing alone in the dark. To stand by him. To listen to him. To give him, even for a few minutes, the feeling that he is not alone. At the moment when everyone is looking at you, you look at someone else. And in the end, perhaps that’s what was missing even for him: someone to look into his darkness. (translated)

Do you want to get outraged by the size of Leftist Hypocrisy? Read this article from @News247gr about the godless ones for my joke about the joint, who when I saw that Mr. Eleftheroglou was offended I immediately apologized, I should have been dismissed, while during @atsipras a Minister would have left if they said something like that to a journalist directly while now not etc. but when @pavpol2222 said to a journalist that "I should have buried you three meters underground" Alexis only gave him an award that he didn't give him... Leftist Pharisees Hypocrites.... I expose them and enjoy it. (translated)

🔴 Adonis Georgiadis brazenly bullied journalists. The government covers for him. 🎙️ Our question was simple: "Minister Adonis Georgiadis attacked two journalists. He called them, among other things, 'quack doctors'. They had asked him a question regarding a matter related to his Ministry. On the same day, attacking another journalist, he asked him 'if he has smoked any weed'. Does the Government condemn this disgraceful attack by Adonis Georgiadis on the journalists? Yes or no?" 🗣️ The government spokesperson tried to avoid condemning Adonis Georgiadis. He started telling us a whole story about the Task Force, the changes in the Penal Code, the press registers, and 'about what he has done for journalists'. Basically, in fact, about what is beneficial to the government when it talks about what it has done for journalists. 📺 Regarding the specific incident, he said that 'the dialogue escalated', that there was 'particular tension', and that 'the tone was raised'. He even added that Adonis Georgiadis 'does not hide and tries to provide answers'. ❗ Only here we did not have an abstract 'escalation of the dialogue'. The journalists did not call the minister 'a fraud'. The minister called them 'quack doctors'. 🤝 And here we had a fundamental journalistic and collegial duty. A duty towards the freedom of the press and towards our colleagues, regardless of the different approach we may have in the way each of us operates. 🔁 So we are repeating the question: "We are reiterating the question, because we did not ask you about the Task Force or how this dialogue went. The minister brazenly attacked our colleagues. Does the Government condemn Adonis Georgiadis or does it cover for him?" 🔴 Pavlos Marinakis tried again to slip away. He even went on to speak about the Tempi incident and what he characterized as 'unprecedented attempts to mislead public opinion'. 🔁 So we asked the obvious again: "Excuse me, why do you refuse to condemn such a brazen attack on our colleagues? The whole world sees it." 📌 The final answer from the government spokesperson was: "I responded to what happened. I have nothing else to add." 🔴 The question was raised three times. Three times we did not hear a single word of criticism for the minister's outrageous behavior. It is official. Want to bully journalists? The government will back you up. (translated)

Do you remember this sour one who told us that the free ride was over? Her husband lifted €37,000 from the state’s piggy bank, sorry, from the party. (translated)

The @MegaTvOfficial is a very large, perhaps the largest, journalistic group in the country. Since yesterday, due to this dialogue of mine with @jordanxas and @anthi83, they have properly decorated me in their news bulletins, on their social media, in their newspapers, on their radio, etc. Their right, no issue, we have democracy, everything is fine. However, my voice, without all these huge weapons, has been heard here and I believe it is loud for all of you. Firstly, you can listen to the entire show here: https://t.co/HWNtpDSDgR However, in this video I am on the phone and my voice is low, so I start to shout, wrongfully, I would like to calmly write my argument here and each of you can judge it. So they ask me quite aggressively and accuse me "that I am responsible for various quacks acting unchecked and therefore I did not do my job well, etc." Then I particularly remember Ms. Voulgari but also generally Mega, which for a series of shows and for a number of years promoted in every possible way @mkaristianou, who, however, is no longer to their liking, and they even ask me when we will check her for "quantum medicine". That's when the tone starts to rise, they didn't like my argument and Mrs. Voulgari starts the attack "And you advertised tiny jackets two years ago…." (It was ten years ago, but back then @NewsItFeed, part of the Mega Journalistic Group today, also advertised them but this is rather a trivial detail...)… and then I reminded them how long, not only Mega to be fair but mainly Mega, constantly invited some quack experts who tried to convince, and had convinced 80% of our fellow citizens, that in the commercial train in the tragedy in Temps there was illegal cargo of plywood and therefore the government tampered with the area to cover up the smuggling, etc. Why did I want to say this? As if they were shocked. And yet, I said something false, weren't they quacks? But they were not allowed to testify in court because they did not meet the expert's qualifications. Today we know not only that plywood never existed but that it is most likely that most knew it from the beginning. So, the mega that judges everyone and everything has it ever apologized to its viewers for misinformation? Did I say something unreasonable? If we are bothered by quacks, shouldn't we be bothered everywhere? Or only where it suits us? In short, in my opinion, the saying "He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her" applies here... Now, my dear friends at Mega, you can continue to accuse me as much as you want, but let the world know the other viewpoint and judge. P.S. Since this morning they are playing the video from my visit to this clinic in the South. But they haven't read the clinic's announcement nor the announcement specifically for Mega. This isn't very correct either... (translated)

Let's finally talk about the "nanogileka" in my article from my Facebook page. Let's finally talk about the nanogileka… "In my life, I have done many things, some right and some wrong. Generally, I move around a lot and I am active; I can't stand idleness and I'm not afraid to take risks. With this character I have, it is natural for my opponents to find opportunities to hit me and put my friends in a difficult position, and I apologize to my friends for that. One mistake from my past was that in 3 telemarketing shows on Tileasty back then, I chose, purely for commercial purposes (it was a telemarketing show), some products -nanogileka- from the company Nanobionic. Although the products were truly of excellent quality and sold out, when I realized the extent of the political exploitation I would face, I stopped them, but I did not save myself from the political damage. Since then, whenever I corner someone, the latest example being Ms. Kariystianou, they throw the "nanogileka" at me to discredit me. But was it really that bad what I did? Firstly, I never sold them as medical technology products or as a treatment for multiple sclerosis or other diseases. On the contrary, in all the shows, I emphasized that they are not medical technology products but wellness products. I said that you feel great when you wear them and they relieve you from various pains. But wait, was it only me who said these things and what kind of company was this? I present to you a series of publications from Newsit, Kathimerini, CNN Greece, and statements from players of the National Basketball Team in the past, who said what I said in my shows because this company was a sponsor of the National team. But if these reputable sources write about it or if the athletes say it, it's okay; if I say it, it's bad… It was clearly a mistake to show them then due to my political status, but guys, come on… : If Ms. Kariystianou thinks she will escape from the absurdities about Quantum Medicine with the "nanogileka," she is making a big mistake."

Στο μεταξύ τώρα βγαίνουν όσα φιλανθρωπικά έκανε ο Μαζωνάκης αθόρυβα….και λένε όλοι ότι τους ζητούσε να μην το πουν πουθενά. Και όντως δεν τα γνωρίζαμε. Και έχεις άλλους που φωνάζουν συνεργεία με κάμερες για να φανεί η «φιλανθρωπία» τους. Συγγνώμη αλλά έτσι είναι. #μαζωνακης #φιλανθρωπία #Μαζωνάκης #αλληλεγγύη

Άδωνις: Συγγνώμη που το σύστημα δεν προστάτευσε τον #Μαζωνάκης Το σύστημα:⬇️ https://t.co/5gWYuDR86Y #Άδωνις #Μαζωνάκης #Ελλάδα

Ο μέγιστος τσάτσος…συγγνώμη κουμπάρος ήθελα να γράψω, Καλκα(σα)βούρας επέλεξε φωτογραφία του Ναν με διαιτητή για να αναδείξει την αλλαγή κανονισμών σχετικά με το φάουλ στο τρίποντο! Τον Ναν που δεν έχει εκβιάσει ούτε ένα φάουλ στα 3 χρόνια του στην Ευρώπη #paobc https://t.co/y54GYcjyf7 #μπάσκετ #παο #διαιτησία

Επειδή πλησιάζει ο καιρός για το πετρέλαιο θέρμανσης, μήπως η σωτήρια κυβέρνησή μας να σκεφτόταν να μηδενίσει τον φόρο για 1-2 μήνες; Όχι, εγκληματικό κι ανεύθυνο ε; Λαϊκισμός ε; Συγγνώμη, έσκασα. #πετρέλαιο #φορολογία #πολιτική

Δεν πήγε κρυφά ενω δεν ήταν κανείς και να τον συνοδεύει μια χοντρη μαυροφόρα που παριστάνει τη συγγενή, όπως ο Τσίπρας στο Μάτι Σηκώθηκε και πήγε στην κηδεία και ζήτησε δημόσια συγγνώμη και σωστά έκανε Για να ξεχωρίζουν οι άντρες από τα μαλ@κιστηρια σαν τον Τσίπρα #πολιτική #Ελλάδα #συγνώμη

Είναι τόσο βαρύ το συλλογικό πένθος που πήρε όλο τον χώρο από το σοκαριστικό που συνέβη σήμερα. Πήγε ο Υπουργός Υγείας ΕΠΙΤΟΠΟΥ και -περίπου- είπε: «Θέλω να σας ζητήσω συγγνώμη που δεν μπορέσαμε να προστατεύσουμε το βάζο κι έπεσε κι έσπασε». Αυτό είπε ο Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης, το καταλαβαίνουμε; Μόνο που δεν ήταν βάζο. Ήταν άνθρωπος (αφήνω τα «επώνυμος», «αγαπημένος», «τραγουδιστής» κ.λπ.). Αν-θρω-πος! Και δεν είναι «κενά του συστήματος», που είπε. Είναι το σύστημά ΤΟΥΣ. Και δεν είναι «κάποιοι απατεώνες», που είπε. Είναι αυτοί με τους οποίους οι κυβερνώντες κάνουν κολεγιές, τρωγοπίνουν μαζί στα σπίτια της υψηλής κοινωνίας και γι’ αυτό δεν τους ελέγχει κανείς. Τα «κενά του συστήματος» είναι ότι ψηφίζετε λαμόγια να ελέγχουν λαμόγια. #Πένθος #Κοινωνία #Υγεία
