Chris Avramidis wrote that 1,500 artisanal bakeries closed within three years, of which 1,200 for economic reasons. He cited the president of the Professional Chamber, who, according to him, stated that more bakeries had closed than during the Occupation. He added that professionals claimed their energy costs had increased by 40%. Avramidis noted that the four largest energy groups had shown operational profitability exceeding 1 billion euros in terms of EBITDA in 2025 from energy production, trading, and supply activities. He mentioned that he asked the government if it planned to intervene in the market and the profits of the groups to reduce costs for small businesses. According to Avramidis, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis referred to the greatest energy crisis in history, previous state interventions, and the taxation of windfall profits, while stating that retail electricity prices in Greece were lower than the European average. Avramidis stated that he raised the question of how the closure of small businesses coexisted with the high profitability of energy groups, asking for a specific new measure for bakeries. In his account, Marinakis responded again referencing already implemented measures, fixed household tariffs, and comparatively low electricity prices in Greece, without announcing new support for bakeries. Avramidis argued that the government response did not address the issue of small businesses and that the energy crisis had different consequences for small professionals and large groups. He said that for the former it could mean closure, while for the latter it coexisted with profits of hundreds of millions of euros. #ενεργειακήκρίση #οικονομία #φούρνοι (translated)

Thanos Tsimeros argued that the European Union should not finance magazines with taxpayers' money, regardless of their themes. He mentioned that he learned about Bebe Magazine - Trans Issue from an interview with an artist who performed in a cabaret and from a message from a friend of his related to Belgium. According to what he cited from his friend's message, the publication promoted positions of the trans and queer communities and received funding through the EU's Erasmus+. His friend mentioned that the coordinator was the Belgian Bebe Books.vzw and that the Flemish organization JINT participated in the funding. He cited two grants that, as he reported, he found on the Erasmus website: €57,200 for the period 31/12/23–30/12/24 and €34,500 for the period 15/12/25–14/12/26. Tsimeros said that his friend had filed a complaint with JINT, EACEA, as well as with officials from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, and had also communicated with Greek MEPs. According to his description, he planned to appeal to the European Ombudsman after receiving responses from the agencies or after the expiration of a two-month deadline. #Φόροι #ΕΕ #Κουλτούρα (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis thanked for the publication by Giorgos Amiriadis regarding the NHS. Amiriadis argued that the system had been strengthened and provided data on staff, expenditures, and waiting times. According to the post, the permanent staff of the NHS increased from 90,300 in 2019 to more than 100,000, while together with seasonal staff, it reached 106,000. Expenditures, he reported, doubled from 4.1 billion euros to 8.2 billion euros. He added that renovations and upgrades of equipment were carried out in 236 hospitals and health centers, as well as interventions for digitization and the development of a telemedicine network. Amiriadis stated that 26,800 afternoon surgeries had been performed, 78% in public hospitals and 22% in private hospitals, and claimed that waiting times for surgery over four months had decreased by 98%. He also noted that the average waiting time in emergency departments had decreased by 68%, to less than four hours. The publication also mentioned free prevention programs and exams in remote areas, home delivery or availability of high-cost medications at local pharmacies, online appointments via the My Health app, and checks on private practices through Medwatch. Amiriadis noted that three new hospitals had been scheduled — the Pediatric Hospital of Thessaloniki and the general hospitals of Komotini and Sparta — as well as a new hematopoietic stem cell transplantation unit at Papageorgiou Hospital. Regarding ambulances, he reported 52 new vehicles and 8 mobile medical units in Attica, 34 new ambulances in Central Greece, and 5 in the Ionian Islands, along with a tender for 255 more by early 2027. He added that nurses were included in the heavy and unhealthy job category. In closing, he raised the question of whether Georgiadis had done more than previous ministers and if he would make additional interventions. #ΕΣΥ #Υγεία #ΔημόσιαΥγεία (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)

Crash wrote that he wouldn't explain what Obradovic meant to Panathinaikos, as he was bored. He added that those who took on the role of commentator and critic should at least learn the history, in order to gain fan consciousness, as he mentioned that they claimed to be fans mainly out of habit. #paobc https://t.co/worgNcxwSQ #Παναθηναϊκός #Οπαδοί #Καλαθοσφαίριση (translated)

Agamemnon Stavropoulos recounted an incident from his accounting office 20 years ago. A visitor requested four ferry tickets to Santorini, departing on July 4 and returning on the 16th. When Stavropoulos explained that the office did not issue tickets, the visitor pointed to the sign "STARTUPS - HOLIDAYS," which he had interpreted as an indication that it was also a travel agency. Stavropoulos clarified that the sign referred to the beginnings and holidays of businesses. #ιστορία #ταξίδια #Διακοπές (translated)

OlympiaGR reported that Rybovolovlev had halted all work on Skorpios, as he claimed it was certain that the Ukrainian drone found in Lefkada was targeting his yacht, the "Anna," and likely himself. He added that Dokos probably knew of the case and connected it to his urging of Russian pranksters, whom he mistook for Ukrainian officials, to kill Russian millionaires who were in Turkey and not in Greece, due to impending elections. OlympiaGR also stated that a few weeks later, the first terrorist attack in the history of Monaco occurred, according to them. They claimed that the target was Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolayev, whom they characterized as an enemy of Zelensky, as well as his wife and their 13-year-old son, and that the attack was organized and executed by Ukrainians. They added that the woman who planted the bomb was killed in Ukraine a few days later to remove any traces. #Ουκρανία #τρομοκρατία #ολιγάρχες (translated)

Zastro wrote that the death of Georgios Vardinogiannis closed a historical cycle in Greek football.

Recalling images from his presence at Leoforos and OAKA, Zastro also referred to his characteristic mustache, suits, and tinted glasses. In a memorial post, he recorded him as Georgios Vardinogiannis (1936–2026). https://t.co/TCS9mtLdB7 #ποδόσφαιρο #ελληνικόποδόσφαιρο #ιστορία (translated)

"The benefit we gain as Greece from the agreement, when only the stolen sacred relics from the Holy Monastery of Eicosiphonissis are 800 and the manuscripts are 430." Mr. Dorotheos, a mild-mannered cleric who has given no cause to be labeled a nationalist or generally extreme, pointed out, in a very careful manner, his reservations about "the benefit we gain as Greece from the agreement, when only the stolen sacred relics from the Holy Monastery of Eicosiphonissis are 800 and the manuscripts are 430." #Ελλάδα #Συμφωνία #Ιστορία (translated)
