The Proper Greek Analyst criticized publications from Kontra, Eleftheros Typos, Political, and Dimokratia, arguing that they presented as a Greek success an exception that would pave the way for a reduction of fuel taxes or investments amounting to 1 billion euros. He described the coverage as misleading and said it confused two different requests. According to him, the government's request for temporary reductions in the Special Consumption Tax or VAT on fuels not to be counted toward the deficit was rejected. He argued that such measures would directly support citizens and businesses and that they had been implemented without requests to the Commission from 11 EU countries. He also cited a Reuters publication regarding the rejection of requests from Greece and Italy for greater fiscal flexibility. On the contrary, he mentioned that a request for exemption from fiscal rules on spending for energy projects had been accepted. In his post, this possibility did not concern only Greece: a Commission announcement dated 18/8/26, with code C/2026/4514, stipulated an exemption of up to 0.6% of GDP cumulatively over two years for countries that would apply. He estimated that this corresponded for Greece to 1.56 billion euros, with an GDP of 260 billion euros at current prices in 2026, and not the 1 billion euros that, as he wrote, the government planned to allocate. The Proper Greek Analyst added that Italy's request, which, according to ANSA, concerned 0.6% of GDP or 14 billion euros, was expected to be approved by Monday. He contrasted this amount with the 0.38% of GDP or 1 billion euros attributed to the Greek plan. For Greek projects, he mentioned grants of 200 million euros for energy storage batteries from renewable sources, 320 million euros for railroad safety and expansion projects, 200 million euros for heat pumps and solar water heaters for 100,000 beneficiaries, 117 million euros for energy upgrades of 109 public buildings and universities, 50 million euros for photovoltaics, batteries, and heating systems for 10,000 beneficiaries, 50 million euros for carbon capture and storage in industry, and 45 million euros for 246 school units. He stated that, beyond the subsidies for households, the remaining projects would not directly benefit citizens. #Ελλάδα #ενέργεια #δημοσιονομικά (translated)

How can you claim to have a nuclear industry if you do not have the starting point of the process? The nuclear industry is the driving force of science and technology. The threats from the U.S. against Iran's nuclear facilities are "nothing new," Eslaami stated, emphasizing that enrichment is "an integral part" of the nuclear program and "we are not going to abandon it." #Ιράν #ΠυρηνικήΕνέργεια #ΔιεθνείςΣχέσεις (translated)

In the specification of the new intervention amounting to up to 95 million euros for the support of the Greek industry against the increased energy costs, which was announced yesterday by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis from the podium of the General Assembly of SEV, the ministries of Environment and Energy and National Economy and Finance proceeded. #ΕνεργειακόΚόστος #Βιομηχανία #Επιδότηση (translated)

Papdim referred to what Rubio said, who argued that "nationalism" had become a negatively loaded term. According to Rubio, this had led to the demolition of monuments, the condemnation of history, and teaching children to be ashamed of their countries. He also said that countries had opened their borders, moved their industry abroad, and let their armed forces decline. #Εθνικισμός #Ιστορία #Ταυτότητα (translated)

KatiApoZebra wrote that the Prime Minister announced an electricity subsidy of 95 million euros for industrialists. She commented that the support aimed to prevent the industrialists from starving and from being blackmailed by their workers. #επιδότηση #ρεύμα #βιομηχανία (translated)

Thus, today we can take the next step, utilizing the margins of state aid, the new European framework that gives us this flexibility, is a temporary European safety net against the impacts of the crisis with a direct subsidy for electricity - this will concern sectors such as cement, food, paper, plastics - but also the additional support for energy-intensive businesses beyond the compensation for emissions. It is an intervention that is estimated to remove a total burden of 95 million euros from productive - production overall. The utilization of the European framework for flexibility in state aid in order to reduce energy costs in industry was announced by Kyriakos Mitsotakis. #Οικονομία #Βιομηχανία #Επιδότηση (translated)

The speech of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) is eagerly awaited by industrialists, who hope for support measures for the high energy costs, while there are expectations for an intervention amounting to 100 million euros. #Οικονομία #Ενέργεια #Βιομηχανία (translated)

FLORENTIA wrote that, in anticipation of October 28, video content was expected on social media that, according to her, would reiterate arguments about Greek history from 1940. She predicted that their creators would attribute the Greek resistance to the use of pitch, would associate an 18th-century French card player with contemporary Greek identity, and would present Greece's victory as an accident. She also mentioned that they would argue that Italy had been provoked by Greece and would use footage of Greeks throwing flowers at German motorcyclists in 1941 as a sign of hospitality. FLORENTIA criticized the use of material from SS archives and argued that such narratives aimed, in her opinion, to overshadow agreements of friendship and non-aggression with Berlin and the shipment of chromium to the German war industry. She also referred to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the collapse of the front, and the sinking of the submarine Elli in Tinos. #Ιστορία #Γαστρονομία #Προπαγάνδα (translated)

Leonidas Palaiodimos mentioned that last year a middle-aged acquaintance of his, who did not know any English and had no computer skills, had received an offer to pay a small amount to obtain certificates in English and computer science. He argued that there was a broader market for fake degrees, from which those who issued them, those who suggested them, and those who overlooked this activity benefited. He added that, in his estimation, many complaints would have been made to the authorities. He linked this market to the point system for academic degrees for appointments in the public sector, even when they were not necessary for the position. Palaiodimos wondered why a foreign language certificate was required for public positions unrelated to that subject, as well as ECDL certification for positions that only needed basic computer and internet use. He also questioned the point system for postgraduate and language certifications for a teacher who taught mathematics to junior high school students. Addressing Sofia Zacharaki, he asked why, as he argued, citizens were being asked to spend their savings and time to accumulate certifications that had no measurable impact on their work. #πτυχία #μυθολογία #εκπαίδευση (translated)

A few days ago, in an incredibly cynical statement, the EU told the peoples of its member states that 50 million of them, due to energy prices, have to choose this year: Either they will spend money to feed themselves and therefore will be cold, or they will spend money to warm themselves and therefore will starve! According to the EU Energy Commissioner, the reason for this is the energy crisis... Now let's explain to the Commissioner and the local sycophants why the cause of this cannibalism is "Capitalism, you idiot": — The total GDP of the EU is nearly 18 trillion euros. — In 2025, military spending by member states reached 418 billion euros, marking an increase for the 11th consecutive year. — In 2026 (when households must choose between food or heating) military spending is expected to rise to 454 billion euros, an increase of 8.6% compared to 2025 and 75.3% compared to 2021. — In 2025, investments in the defense sector (military industry) showed an impressive increase of 23% compared to 2024, reaching an unprecedented high of 134 billion euros. In fact, this upward trend will continue in 2026, when investments in the defense sector are expected to reach almost 163 billion euros. This is an increase of 158.7% compared to 2021! — In the first half of 2026, according to an analysis by the European organization Transport & Environment (T&E), only 8 oil companies collected about 7.5 billion euros in excess profits within the EU. Six of these large companies (BP, Shell, Eni, Orlen, Repsol, and OMV) doubled their profits in the European market in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter of 2025, taking advantage of high prices for refined fuels. — Major energy companies operating in Europe and Britain have surpassed 26.2 billion pounds in profits since the beginning of 2026. — The net profits of the 500 largest companies in the EU based on revenue reached 547 billion euros in 2025. — The top 10 banks in Europe in 2025 had annual profits of 92 billion euros, marking an increase of 8% compared to 2024. This is the reality for the EU of monopolies. The capitalist Union that on the one hand enriches a handful of parasites who appropriate wealth, which has a fortune for the coffers and the cogs of the war economy, and on the other hand orders the millions of workers who produce the wealth to decide whether they will starve or whether they will be cold... #ΕΕ #Καπιταλισμός #ΕνεργειακήΚρίση (translated)
