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)

The author argued that the government was falling after the "mega agreement" between Trump and Putin for Russian oil. He described the development as vindication for Velopoulos and said it exposed the ND officials who, in his view, were obsessively pro-Ukrainian. #βελοπουλος #Ελλάδα #ελλας #ελληνικη_λυση #τραμπ #πουτιν #ουκρανια #ρωσια https://t.co/I6uoBD7Dvj #βελοπουλος #Ελλάδα #τραμπ #GR #US #RU #UA (translated)

The author wondered whether Greek Justice was fighting for its independence or was controlled by the Maximos Mansion and the intertwining of interests. He mentioned that the European prosecutor had pointed out Exarchou in relation to contract 717 and the Tempi, while, according to him, Greek Justice had not reacted. In the end, he began to refer to the WSJ, without completing his thought. #Δικαιοσύνη #Ελλάδα #Διαφάνεια #GR #EU (translated)

Andreas Stalidis argued that 808 significant violations of the Prespa Agreement had been recorded by the authorities of Northern Macedonia, while in practice, he said, there were many more. He cited examples such as the country's president having sworn in as president of "Macedonia" and that both she and the prime minister had issued dozens of statements under that title. Stalidis also referred to a photo of the president of the "Macedonian Academy" and the consul in Canada, whom he said appeared to be dancing with the Vergina flag in front of a map of "Greater Macedonia" that included Greek territories. He added that the violations had been highlighted for years through questions in Europe, a bill proposal in the Parliament, and public interventions, without, in his opinion, any substantial mobilization. Referring to an official protest by the Greek embassy to the authorities of Northern Macedonia after a banner with the Vergina flag and an irredentist map was displayed at a basketball game, Stalidis said that the intervention was correct, but questioned why it was done so late and if it was related to the elections. He called on the government to abolish the Prespa Agreement and to bring the bill proposal to the Plenary, which, he mentioned, had been submitted and remained in the Parliament for 21 months. #ΣυμφωνίαΠρεσπών #Μακεδονία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis did not answer directly whether the government agreed with the New Democracy MEP Eleonora Meleti, who, according to him, had spoken about employers being blackmailed by employees. According to Avramidis, Marinakis said that Meleti's related reference was limited and that she "must have received" complaints, while adding that he could not know if such incidents existed. Avramidis noted that when asked again whether the government adopted the position of the MEP, the spokesman did not respond with clear agreement or disagreement and referred to the importance of employers creating and paying for jobs. Avramidis commented that the answer portrayed Meleti as a defender of workers, even though, as he wrote, she had referred to employers who were being blackmailed by employees. #Εργαζόμενοι #Εργοδότες #Κυβέρνηση (translated)

Andreas Papaellinas wrote that every time he spoke to someone, Emily was reflecting on what people would be without the exceptional and unparalleled struggle of EOKA and the Greek spirit of the children who gave it. He mocked those who, as he said, claimed to respect and honor EOKA and used a derogatory term for those who, in his opinion, would be nothing without that struggle. #ραγιάδες https://t.co/ZuW7MJJSzf #ΕΟΚΑ #ιστορία #Ελλάδα (translated)

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)

The hat wrote that the Greeks of Australia were celebrating, as South Melbourne, which he described as the most successful team of the Greek diaspora, defeated the much stronger Melbourne Victory on penalties.

Nikolas Moraitis wrote that he admired the simple and direct language of Dionysis Charitopoulos and characterized him as a great writer. He added that Greece owed him the restoration of historical truth, as, according to him, through his study and the book "Aris: the leader of the irregulars," he had refuted the propaganda of the right’s underground for the National Resistance. Quoting an excerpt from Charitopoulos's work, Moraitis mentioned that the author accused official Greece of having hidden or defamed the resistance movement for years and that former fighters of ELAS and their families faced social and state stigma. Charitopoulos, according to the excerpt, also described a multi-year effort to distort the facts and argued that EAM was the greatest epic of modern Greek history. The same text cited words from Panagiotis Kanellopoulos regarding the National Resistance. #ΔιονύσηςΧαριτόπουλος #ΕλληνικήΙστορία #Αντίσταση (translated)

Maria Kalantzi used derogatory terms for a man she presented as supportive of Hamas and asked how many times he had taken a public stance on occupied Cyprus, the Turkish invasion, and the ongoing occupation. She also asked how many times he had raised the Greek flag and defended national issues. The post was shared by Nikos Sotiriopoulos. https://t.co/nCTiw2MwDt #Κύπρος #Ελλάδα #ΕθνικάΖητήματα (translated)

The Prime Minister mentioned that he attended the renaming ceremony of the central conference hall of the Ministry of Environment and Energy to the "Stefanos Manos" hall. He described Stefanos Manos as a public servant with a sense of duty and justice, a technocrat and politician, who looked ahead and introduced new concepts into Greek politics. https://t.co/dDT1ZJwXAz #ΣτέφανοςΜάνος #Πολιτική #Περιβάλλον (translated)
