Adonis Georgiadis wrote that a woman named Kyriakidou, whom he said he did not know, criticized him almost daily for his hair, glasses, and statements. He added that she posted an image of Paris in flames and wished that something similar would happen in Greece. Georgiadis urged readers not to be influenced and not to give in, while asserting that those expressing such views desired chaos and the destruction of Greece, as, according to him, had happened during the "indignant" movement. #Ελλάδα #Πολιτική #Κοινωνία (translated)

Nikolas Apelaios II described the days leading up to the Italian attack on Greece, from October 23 to 27, 1940, stating that the Greek ambassador in Rome had informed the government that the attack was expected between October 25 and 28. According to him, Italian reconnaissance aircraft were photographing military points of interest, while senior Greek officials considered the attack imminent. Apelaios reported that on October 24, Ioannis Metaxas recorded in his diary rumors of an attack the next day and informed the chiefs of staff to remain in Athens or to notify where they were. On October 25, according to the post, Metaxas informed the Cabinet about the concentration of Italian troops at the border, and the government rejected both substantial territorial concessions and symbolic gestures toward Italy. He noted that Metaxas and his ministers did not attend the premiere of the opera "Madama Butterfly" at the Royal Theater on October 25, in the presence of Antonio Puccini and Curzio Malaparte. From the government, as he wrote, Deputy Foreign Minister Mavroudis and Deputy Minister of Press Nikolidis attended. The next day, Ambassador Politis reported that the Athens–Rome airline had been suspended until further notice. In his narrative, at the reception of the Italian embassy on October 26, Ambassador Grazzi was often absent, while on the upper floor the ultimatum to Greece was being dictated from Rome. Nikolidis called Metaxas early on October 27 regarding reports of incidents at the border. Apelaios noted that the Athens News Agency denied the news at 04:00, following an order from Metaxas. Apelaios also wrote that, on October 27, Greek and Italian officers met to discuss the incidents, while the Greek government was receiving information about the movements of Italian units towards the border. He added that shortly after Metaxas left his office, information arrived from the Italian embassy that a declaration of war was imminent, but it was decided not to inform him. According to him, the Prime Minister's car departed for Kifisia without him knowing the information. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #ΔεύτεροςΠαγκόσμιοςΠόλεμος (translated)

DvDvs posted an old joke about Mitsaras, an unemployed man who, according to the story, asked Costas Simitis to help him find a job. With a recommendation letter from Simitis, he went to the French aircraft company Dassault. Although he admitted he had no knowledge or work experience, he told the manager that he had many connections and was hired as a doorman. In the joke, Mitsaras utilized his connections with Muammar Gaddafi and Bill Clinton, who, as the story goes, ordered 100 and 300 airplanes respectively. When the manager questioned that he also knew the Pope, Mitsaras bet that he would appear next to him during his visit to France. The manager saw the two together but fainted when the Prime Minister of Mongolia asked him who the man with the big hat and red apron next to Mitsaras was. #χιούμορ #σάτιρα #καθημερινότητα (translated)

The author of the post argued that government inaction was costing households 1 billion euros per year.

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)

He added that he considered it an honor that he had served as its commander. #Αμφίβιοι #Καταδρομές #Στρατός (translated)

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)

Kostas Vaxevanis wrote that Documento had received complaints that Michalis Bekiris, the director of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' office, did not have a degree, even though his biography in Parliament stated that he graduated in Social Sciences with a degree from France. He himself noted that the newspaper's investigation did not locate a publication of Bekiris' appointment in the Government Gazette. According to Vaxevanis, when Documento asked Bekiris for his appointment and degree, he replied that he was offering voluntary services alongside Mitsotakis, in a position outside government structures, without clarifying whether he had a degree or from which French university. The journalist argued that advisors to prime ministers and ministers should be appointed and checked by law, whether they are compensated or not, and cited as an example the unpaid advisor at the Ministry of Culture, Anna Panagiotarea. Vaxevanis linked the issue to a previous publication by Documento, according to which Bekiris had bought a house in Patras at half the price. #Πολιτική #Διαφάνεια #Κοινωνία (translated)

As stated in the Report of the Investigative Committee of the Hellenic Parliament regarding the Cyprus File, in early July 1974, the Commander of the Commandos in Cyprus, Colonel Konstantinos Kompoki, convened a meeting of the Commanders of the Commando Squadrons to announce the implementation of the plan to overthrow President Makarios. The junta members did not invite Katsanis. Not coincidentally. They knew he would not legitimize such a blatant crime. General Katsanis became a symbol of bravery, courage, and patriotism, and the extent of tributes in his name, the camps, the monuments, the busts, the naming ceremonies, and all that has been done in honor of his sacrifice, in Cyprus and Greece, reflect the due recognition of his contribution and sacrifice, said Minister of Defense Vasilis Palamas, in a speech on behalf of the President of the Republic at the presentation of the book "George Katsanis, the Commander of Saint Hilarion and His Legacy." #Κατσάνης #Ελευθερία #Κύπρος (translated)
