The author mentioned that "Cerberus," "Procrustes," and "Midas" were, according to him, the real names of the "Hercules" plan. He said that the funds expected 35 billion euros and argued that private debt burdened the economy while small and medium-sized enterprises were suffocating. He proposed that the EFKA should become "national." https://t.co/ufcm1Db8UG #Οικονομία #ΔημόσιαΠολιτική #Επιχειρήσεις #GR (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis stated that he proceeded to sign ministerial decisions for the establishment and operation of the Central Information System for Blood Donation and the National Blood Donor Registry. He said that there had been previous work by HDYKA M.A.E. for the installation and upgrading of the information systems of blood donation services in 96 hospitals, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Facility. According to him, the National Blood Donor Registry had already been transferred since the morning to the infrastructures of HDYKA and was operating in a controlled environment, serving the hospitals, the National Blood Donation Center, and the donors. Georgiadis said that digital integration would enhance interoperability, blood inventory management, traceability, and the safety of procedures, with the ultimate beneficiaries being patients in need of transfusion. He added that he had faced criticism for the project in the Parliament and in repeated publications, but he insisted and, as he said, completed it in record time without expense from the state budget. He stated that the ministry and the blood donors had been discussing its implementation for 20 years. #Αιμοδοσία #ΥγειονομικόΣύστημα #ΨηφιακόςΜετασχηματισμός (translated)

Nikos Boyiopoulos linked the anniversary of the liberation of Athens on October 12, 1944, with a conference and archaeological exhibition scheduled for October 15-17. He wrote that EAM, ELAS, and EPON liberated Athens from Nazi occupation at that time. Boyiopoulos argued that the titles and themes of the presentations downplayed the German occupation. He also criticized the event's poster, stating that it depicted a large Wehrmacht flag over the Acropolis, where, as he noted, Manolis Glezos and Lakis Santas had lowered the Nazi flag. He specifically referred to a presentation by a German historian, whose title linked the desire to be present when the flag was raised at the Acropolis with the horizons of imagination and the reality of the German occupation in Greece from 1941-1944/45. Boyiopoulos interpreted the title as an insinuation that aspects of the Nazi atrocities could be a product of imagination and connected his criticism to revisionist approaches regarding the 200 from Kaisariani. He characterized the event as a disgrace and emphasized that it was held under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture. As he mentioned, the conference was organized by the German Archaeological Institute of Athens (DAI), the Italian School of Archaeology, and the Institute of Historical Research/National Hellenic Research Foundation. #ΓερμανικήΚατοχή #Αθήνα #Ιστορία (translated)

Emily Yiolitis accused some of reproducing a misleading title to promote, as she said, "pseudo-patriotism," instead of listening to her entire discussion with Feidias. She added that others did it out of ignorance and others deliberately. Yiolitis stated that she presented her vision for a free, united, and democratic Cyprus, from Paphos to Kyrenia and Rizokarpaso. She declared that she honored the history and sacrifices of the heroes of EOKA and did not question the connection of the Greek national anthem with the struggles of Hellenism. At the same time, she mentioned that she envisioned a common agreement between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots for a truly free Republic of Cyprus, with a common anthem that would express freedom, democracy, and peaceful co-existence. She described a state without constituent parts, divisions, or minority groups of different speeds, where every citizen would have one vote. According to her, such an anthem would not negate the sacrifices of the heroes but would justify them. Yiolitis characterized this position as the essence of her intervention and said that the distortions took her away from its real meaning. She added that she was glad if her statements contributed even a little to a dialogue for the liberation of Cyprus, away from rigidities of the bi-zonal, bi-communal federation type. #Ελευθερία #Δημοκρατία #Πατριωτισμός (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II accused a woman of returning with "fake patriotism" and accused her of distorting her statements. He wrote that she had expressed dissatisfaction with the National Anthem of the Greeks and had called for the liberation of Cyprus from all foreign powers, naming Turkey and Greece. According to him, she had also questioned the interest of Turkey, Greece, and the guarantor powers in Cyprus and had requested that propaganda for Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots be removed from school textbooks. Appelaios claimed that her positions referred to Turkish positions and did not defend history and national rights. He criticized her for speaking about the Bizonal Bicommunal Federation and the heroes of EOKA, while, as he wrote, she had insulted their struggle and memory. He called her disrespectful, ungrateful, historically ignorant, and shameless. #Ελλάδα #Κύπρος #Πατριωτισμός (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II wrote that Emily Yioliti had made other statements the day before, apart from her disagreement with the Greek national anthem. According to his post, Yioliti had called for Cyprus to be freed from all foreign powers, including Turkey and Greece, questioned the interest of the guarantor powers in the island, and supported the removal of propaganda for Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots from the school books of the two communities. He also stated that she had declared she would gladly vote for a Turkish Cypriot as President of the Republic of Cyprus. Appelaios II used derogatory terms for Yioliti and connected her positions with Stockholm syndrome. #ζοππόβορτοι #Σύνδρομο_Στοκχόλμης #Κύπρος #Ελλάδα #Τουρκία (translated)

The Truth Team reported that the European Commission approved, only for Greece, a request from the Ministry of National Economy and Finance to expand the existing national escape clause to cover energy resilience measures. According to it, new investments were expected to reach 1 billion euros by 2028 and to be financed by national resources, while they would be exempt from the limit on the increase of net primary expenditures, up to 0.3% of GDP annually and 0.6% cumulatively until 2028. #ΕλληνικήΟικονομία #Επενδύσεις #Ενέργεια (translated)

Under President Trump, the United States made its choice. We choose the unapologetic pursuit of national power. Reuters directly links this phrasing to the "America First" agenda, noting that Rubio brought to the forefront values such as heroism, honor, and duty and argued that prioritizing the national interest is not inherently selfish. #ΑμερικήΠρώτα #ΜάρκοΡούμπιο #ΔυτικόςΠολιτισμός (translated)

FLORENTIA challenged a post about Drama and Serres, which, as she wrote, mentioned 300,000 dead Muslims, coercion of survivors to convert to Christianity, and concealment of events from Europe for 80 years. She characterized these claims as unhistorical and cited the Ottoman census of 1906/1907, according to which the total Muslim population of the Sanjak of Serres, which included Drama, was below 175,000. Regarding the period of the Second Balkan War, in June and July 1913, she stated that the cities were under Bulgarian occupation. She referenced a report by the Carnegie Foundation from 1914, which, as she claimed, recorded that the retreating Bulgarians burned more than 4,000 houses in Serres and killed hundreds of Greek civilians. She added that the Greek Army stopped the destruction and that, based on records from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it had guaranteed by proclamation the safety, property, and religious freedom of all residents. According to her, the Muslims who remained in Macedonia retained their religious rights and their mosques until the Population Exchange. FLORENTIA also stated that, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, approximately 350,000–400,000 Muslims were organized and peacefully relocated from Greece to Turkey. She countered that the number of 1.5 million referred to Greeks from Asia Minor and Pontus, whom, as she wrote, were violently displaced or exterminated by the Young Turks and the Kemalist regime. She concluded by arguing that turning tourist destinations into tools of hatred through false claims and distortion of historical evidence constituted a new practice. #Ιστορία #Δράμα #Σέρρες (translated)

Amalia presented a highly classified British report titled "Greek Security Battalions," numbered PIC/263/21 and PIC PAPER No 55, which, according to her, was sent to the Allied headquarters in the Middle East by an officer signing as "Colonel Chris" on July 18, 1944. Amalia assessed that the author was likely Chris Woodhouse. According to her presentation, the report stated that few Greeks willingly collaborated with the occupying forces and that their motivations were primarily self-interest, survival, or ambition. It also noted that, despite the impending departure of the Germans, the Security Battalions were reinforced after spring 1944, and their clashes with ELAS became more intense. Amalia interpreted this point as an indication that the Battalions aimed to prevent the communists from prevailing after the Germans' withdrawal. The report, as she described it, categorized the members of the Battalions into poor individuals who enlisted for survival, criminal elements, volunteers antagonistic to EAM/ELAS, anti-communist officers, and members of other organizations that had been attacked by ELAS. As an example, she mentioned 200 members of EKKA who joined the Battalions in Patras after the disbandment of the 5/42 Regiment in April 1944. Amalia stated that the author of the report negatively assessed the military actions of the Battalions, as they participated in German attacks against ELAS, but considered that some of their officers were capable. Politically, the report presented them as useful to some of the Greeks because they hindered the dominance of EAM and described three options for the Cairo government: support for EAM/ELAS, tacit support for the Battalions, or condemnation of both sides. The third option, according to Amalia, was considered to have the greatest likelihood of uniting moderate forces. The report concluded, as she wrote, that the actions of the Battalions and of EAM/ELAS were equally terroristic. #ΤάγματαΑσφαλείας #Ελλάδα #Ιστορία (translated)
