The author wondered if the incident in Eleusis had received even 1% of the publicity that he believed it deserved and whether it had been mentioned in the Greek media. He argued that the 17-year-old was blind in one eye and that his identity as a nationalist, rather than as a person serving the system, did not favor the highlighting of the incident. For those he described as supporters of the system, he used derogatory language. #Ελευσινα https://t.co/onK2Sw6Prc #Ελλάδα #ΜΜΕ #Ελευθερία (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II praised a man he did not name, saying that despite the mockery, slander, and threats he faced, he defended his homeland instead of accepting what, according to him, was offered to him and leaving. He claimed that for almost five years he has forced Russia to fight for every inch of land and that, while he is counterattacking, Donald Trump appeared to betray him. Appelaios said that the man had earned the respect of every honest and rational person and that History would remember him as an indomitable fighter and faithful defender of his homeland. For Vladimir Putin and Trump, he used derogatory terms, saying that History would record them as an invader and accomplice, whom he also referred to in a derogatory manner. #Πατρίδα #Ιστορία #Ελευθερία (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)

Aretí Athanasiou wrote that Lakis Lazopoulos commented on the announcement of Radio Arvyla that they would be discontinuing, after 30 years, their collaboration with ANT1. Lazopoulos estimated that the show would continue in some way and connected the matter with the difficulty of the upcoming electoral battle. He said that Radio Arvyla had invoked issues of principle and that a basic principle of satire was freedom of speech, while he argued that under Mitsotakis' government there was only one free channel left. At the same time, he called on Giorgos Liagas to take action and explain why Radio Arvyla would not be there, asking him to pose tough questions. He added that the others, in his opinion, would do nothing. #ΡάδιοΑρβύλα #Λιάγκας #Ελευθερίατουλόγου (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)

StrategicWarCrafted wrote that, after the speech of American Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Pnyx, the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas offered him the English edition of "Pericles' Funeral Oration" from the Parliament Foundation, with a handwritten dedication. The author noted that, according to Thucydides, the Funeral Oration was delivered in the winter of 431/430 BC, at the end of the first year of the Peloponnesian War, during the burial of the Athenians who were killed in battle. He added that the ceremony took place at the public cemetery of Kerameikos and not at the Pnyx. According to StrategicWarCrafted, the text linked the idea of the ideal city-state with democracy, freedom, courage, and public ethics. He also wrote that Rubio presented Athens as the birthplace of characteristics that shaped the West and called on the West to regain its confidence. Referring to Thucydides' "Histories," Book II, Chapter 43, the author attributed to Pericles the message that the dead should be a model and that happiness was linked with freedom and freedom with courage, while the dangers of war should not be avoided. He called on the country's political leadership to take this exhortation into account and wrote that it was not a time for bribes, but for the salvation of the Nation. He concluded with the phrase "Judges will judge us, the unborn, the dead." #Δημοκρατία #Ιστορία #Πολιτική (translated)
