Adonis Georgiadis claimed that an article in "Democratia" presented as a scandal the digital modernization project of public health services, omitting critical details. He stated that the procurement for IDIKA was published on March 30, 2023, with a bid deadline of May 9, 2023, before he took over the Ministry of Health. According to Georgiadis, a temporary contractor was announced on May 21, 2024 (ADA: 6ΙΓΚ4691Β5-57Ψ) and the final award was made on July 26, 2024 (ADA: 68444691Β5-Ο79). He said that the Court of Auditors gave a positive opinion on November 15, 2024, followed by the approval of the EYSTA, and the contract was signed on December 18, 2024. The minister mentioned that the project involved a comprehensive information system for human resources management and payroll, not the outsourcing of hospital payrolls to private entities. He said that the system would include, among other things, an electronic employee file, management of personnel changes, leaves, and personnel requests, with plans for expansion to all seven Health Regions. He added that payroll continued to be processed through the Unified Payment Authority. Georgiadis stated that the problems during the initial operation were not ignored and that timely payment of employees, on-call duty, and allowances was a priority. He characterized the criticism as legitimate, but said it was not appropriate to attribute to him the shaping of the terms of a competition that had been announced in 2023. Finally, he asked Philippakis not to harm the National Health System in his attempts to damage him. #Υγεία #ΔημόσιεςΥπηρεσίες #Εκσυγχρονισμός (translated)

Amalia compared the events that, as she wrote, were happening during those days in France with the "Red May" of 1968. She argued that there were similarities in the demands and images of conflicts with the police, arsons, and vandalism. She presented the leftists as the main actors of the mobilizations at that time and, in a secondary role, their descendants, while stating that the leading role was now taken by people of French origin from Africa. According to her narrative, the unrest of 1968 began on March 22 with an occupation at the University of Nanterre. After its closure on May 2, the clashes spread to the Sorbonne and the streets of Paris. Amalia stated that on May 6 there were about 500 injured, and that the tension peaked on May 10, during the "Night of the Barricades," when Daniel Cohn-Bendit, known as "Red Dani," emerged. Amalia wrote that on May 13, unions controlled by the Socialist and Communist Parties declared a 24-hour strike and participated in the demonstrations. In the following days, according to her, factory occupations and strikes in various sectors paralyzed production, with the country being, as she claimed, on the brink of a civil war by May 20. She mentioned that on May 22, Cohn-Bendit went to Germany and the Netherlands, but the French government revoked his residence permit and did not allow him to return. According to Amalia, this development led to new incidents, while the leftists were left without guidance. Amalia said that General Charles de Gaulle ultimately chose to address the people instead of deploying the army on the streets. On May 30, he announced the dissolution of the National Assembly and elections within 22 days, while, as she wrote, about 500,000 people demonstrated in Paris in support of him. She added that in the elections on June 23 and 30, the Right won 358 out of 485 seats. She also noted that leftists later accused the French Communist Party of abandoning the revolution under orders from Moscow. She cited Mattei Dogan's work "How Civil War Was Avoided in France" as a source. #Γαλλία #ΚόκκινοςΜάης #Ιστορία (translated)
