Reporters United raised questions to Minister Adonis Georgiadis about the Israel Allies Foundation and the meeting at the Athens Club, which he reportedly described as non-secret. They asked which MPs, ministers, and businesspeople attended, who was part of the Greek group of MPs from the organization and under what terms, and whether the presidency of the Parliament was aware of its creation. Reporters United stated that, according to a report on August 8, 2024, Georgiadis had received 11 messages infected with Predator in 2021—more than any other target in Greece—and that he had been officially informed by the Data Protection Authority. They asked him why he did not take legal action and whether being targeted by illegal surveillance software 11 times constituted a national security issue for a high-ranking minister. The outlet also claimed that filming and photographing the minister in public space while performing his duties was a right of journalists and did not violate his personal data. Finally, it reminded that, as reported, its investigations had led Georgiadis to withdraw on May 30, 2025, a secret contract bearing his signature for the transfer of DNA of hundreds of thousands of infants to private individuals. #Δημοσιογραφία #Πολιτική #Δικαιοσύνη (translated)

The conductor wrote that for the first time he felt concern that Ukraine would lose the war. He described Donald Trump's recent actions as a betrayal of Europe and the Western democratic world. He accused Trump of colluding with Vladimir Putin, whom he compared to Hitler, and of blaming Volodymyr Zelensky for problems including expensive diesel. According to the conductor, Trump was trying to cover up his own mistake in Iran. He stated that Putin wanted to involve Chinese President Xi Jinping in peace talks regarding Ukraine. He said the negotiations were only labeled as peaceful because Putin's demands would lead to Ukraine's capitulation. He compared Trump to "second fiddle" and wrote that Zelensky admitted Ukraine would not be able to win or even hold out without U.S. support if Washington sided with Russia. The conductor also noted that the Italian defense minister warned about the Russian army's strength of 1.5 million soldiers and that due to its financing from the Russian budget, the war cannot be immediately stopped. He attributed the Kremlin's lack of interest in a ceasefire. He accused the U.S. Secretary of Defense of mocking allied soldiers in Afghanistan, including the fallen, and labeled his actions as an insult. He criticized Europe for its silence and wrote that it seems to him that its representatives are afraid of both Putin and Trump. At the same time, he questioned whether they were waiting for Trump to take a break and change his mind again. #Ukrajina #Putin #Trump (translated)

Roman Kolář wrote that after losing the Senate elections, ANO suggested changing the electoral system to a single-round system instead of contemplating whether to stop stealing and return 7.5 billion. He referred to low voter turnout and the situation where the president had to interrupt his vacation as reasons for implementing electronic voting. He noted that this system has been functioning in Estonia for over 20 years and that virtually everyone now has access to the internet. For exceptions, he proposed smaller polling stations where final votes could also be cast to ensure that no one would be forced to vote electronically. #volby #politika #demokracie (translated)

The initiative expressed joy and pride and labeled Hlaváč's step as encouraging. It added that their civic initiative makes sense and that it is important to publicly talk about pro-Russian influences that, in their view, threaten state institutions. #demokracie #kybernetickábezpečnost #armáda (translated)

Jakub Tepper described six months of pain, inflammation, and fluid accumulation in his knee. As he wrote, the problems began during his stay in Japan, where he walked a lot up and down stairs. In Poland, he visited two physiotherapists and an orthopedist, and also had an MRI done. According to his account, the visits and tests cost him several thousand zlotys in total, and previous treatments provided only short-lived relief. Tepper wrote that during his stay in Japan, he accidentally ended up with a physiotherapist who, after a conversation and brief examination, believed that the problem might stem from pushing the hips forward and improper loading of the legs while walking. The therapist advised him to change the way he placed his feet and went up the stairs, as well as to work on his posture; he also performed massage and stretching. The visit cost 125 zlotys. The author reported that after the meeting, he felt significant relief, and the pain and inflammation almost disappeared. He noted that he did not want to draw categorical conclusions from a single case, but wrote that the Japanese physiotherapist identified the cause of his complaints in just a few minutes. #fizjoterapia #medycyna #zdrowie (translated)

Patryk Spaliński drew attention to what he sees as double standards in describing violence and devastation. He wrote that the destruction of a Parisian store was considered violence, while the eviction at the Maltańskie Housing Estate in Poznań was not. He similarly pointed out that the fire at the town hall in France was termed as the devastation of a historic site, while—he claimed—this term was not used for a historic Polish building that a developer allegedly set on fire to build a housing estate on the plot. He added that he had been reading "incredible things" for several days. #przemoc #dewastacja #zabytki (translated)
