Completely Exhausted argued that the acquittal of Father Antonios was not the only issue, as, in his opinion, a case had been fabricated against him to strip him of the Ark and the work of a lifetime. He added that there was a lot of money in the field of structures and services for children. He accused the large systemic media of choosing to publish the news 12-14 hours before his post, close to midnight, so that it would go unnoticed and avoid accountability for any potential previous defamation. He mentioned that years ago he had posted the news, arguing that from the testimonies and the admission of the young man that he had been bribed to lie, there was no evidence of Father Antonios' guilt regarding the accusations against him. According to him, well-known accounts had accused him of attempting to cover up rapists. He added that those accounts had now disappeared and wished them to remain so. #Κιβωτός #Αθώωση #ΜΜΕ (translated)

Leonidas Palaiodimos wrote that the case involving Papantonis had raised suspicions of targeting from the very beginning. He stated that the speed with which the state acted, combined with the financial and communicative power that Papantonis had gained, made him think that something was not right. He added that he personally did not like him, partly due to his public image. Palaiodimos mentioned that since the case broke out, he had spoken with several people who were directly aware of the issues at the Ark and that they all told him it was a conspiracy. As evidence, he cited children who, as he wrote, had said that they were made to lie against Papantonis. He believed that this was enough for a prosecutor to investigate who was behind the case. He also noted that dozens of people who had lived in the Ark described Papantonis as someone who had stood by them "like a Father." He noted that, until then, there had been convictions for specific acts of bodily harm, instigation to bodily harm, and threats against children. He wrote that there had been isolated incidents of physical violence as punishment, but argued that these did not correspond to the image presented by the media, in his view. He added that he did not justify violence, while noting that some children in the facilities had difficult pasts and behavioral problems. He concluded that, in his opinion, the scandal might involve those who possibly organized a conspiracy to take the Ark from Papantonis. #Παπαντώνης #Κιβωτός #πλεκτάνη (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis wrote that a supporter of Alexis Tsipras told the former prime minister, in Volos, that they could have already taken power, but they wanted to assume it democratically. According to Georgiadis, Tsipras laughed. He claimed that the phrase implied they could seize power by force, but chose the democratic path, and he wondered if laughter was the appropriate reaction. https://t.co/4TvO5Bbz3o #Δημοκρατία #Ελλάδα #Πολιτική (translated)

Romanos claimed that the assertion that Alexis Tsipras was always opposed to violence was false. He mentioned that during the incidents of the Grigoropoulos period, the party newspaper Avgi had published a verse referring to how easily a fir tree could catch fire, while Tsipras had wondered what harm Molotov cocktails had. https://t.co/nOZgXA7rg6 #Τσίπρας #Βία #Πολιτική (translated)

Maria Denaxa described what was happening in France as "technocratic neo-fascism," which, she argued, was organized and implemented by the globalized plutocracy that, according to her, controlled the media and power in most countries. She wrote that the frequent imposition of a state of emergency, curfews, and restrictions on social networks led, as in the pandemic, to further militarization of fearful and disoriented societies. Denaxa wondered why there was no mention of the students' demands, the difficulties of decent living for the peoples that had revolted, and police violence. She added that similar developments would reach other places and concluded with a message of encouragement. #Γαλλία #παγκοσμιοποίηση #κοινωνία (translated)

Nestoras Grigoropoulos wrote that Kyrianakis repeated what he believed was known but no one in New Democracy dared to say for years. He accused the Left of inciting violence and seeking political gains, comparing Alexis Tsipras' reference to Molotov cocktails with what Lamprinidis said today. https://t.co/VOkzUZ7zji #πολιτική #αριστερά #βία (translated)

Alexis Tsipras mentioned that he met with young people in Volos, at their invitation, and listened to their concerns about the lack of prospects and hope. According to what they told him, many students were working alongside their studies to cover rent and food, while the adverse conditions in student housing led some to delay or abandon their studies. He conveyed that young agronomists were struggling to cover their expenses, as rents and supermarket prices were high, and he referred to a PhD student in aerodynamics who was, he said, working in a flooded laboratory without facilities. Tsipras argued that Greece had become hostile to young people and that opportunities for education, work, and professional development depended either on financial support from parents or connections to the "blue machine." He linked the anger of young people in France to the loss of hope and social inequalities, clarifying that violence was not a solution, but reaction and claims were legitimate. He referred to students who, he said, paid 500 or 600 euros for a room, ate pasta six days a week, and could not attend the university they were admitted to. He added that the lack of student housing and meals exacerbated their situation and argued that social tension could be addressed with conditions of justice. He criticized the government policy regarding the Golden Visa and housing, as well as the decision not to include a housing program in the Recovery Fund, saying that the money was given to "insiders." He proposed as an alternative the strengthening of the social majority and the public sector, with young people having, he said, a crucial role. #Νεολαία #Δικαιοσύνη #ΦοιτητικάΔικαιώματα (translated)

The shepherd argued that those calling for a "popular revolution" and destruction were treated as progressive and could express themselves without consequences, while those urging citizens to take up arms to protect their property and families were prosecuted for inciting violence. He concluded that this was the situation they were living in. #Ελευθερία #Δικαιοσύνη #Πολιτική (translated)
