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)

Adonis Georgiadis requested an end to populism in the related discussion, which he characterized as erroneous. He argued that only one unit, Ptolemaida V, was new and could continue to operate. He wrote that most units had closed due to age and were not allowed to operate, while the others had a few years of life left and would require enormous, unprofitable investments for safe operation. He added that the cost of CO₂ had not been taken into account. #λαϊκισμός #ενέργεια #περιβάλλον (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II posted statements in which Greece was described as an essential ally of NATO and a pillar of stability and American presence in the region.

The statements tied the Vertical Corridor to Greece's emergence as an energy hub and the increase of US LNG exports to Europe. Chevron and ExxonMobil were presented as signs of American companies’ confidence in Greece, and there was a reference to the economic declaration of the two countries for creating a secure energy supply chain and critical minerals. In response to a question about US support for energy projects, the speaker stated, according to the post, that there was a strong commitment to cooperation with Greece.

He added that Greece had recorded a score above 50 on the manufacturing PMI index for the 12th consecutive month and asserted that it was progressing despite difficulties and criticisms. #Ελλάδα #ΠαραγωγικόΜοντέλο #Επενδύσεις (translated)

The author wrote that he found it enjoyable to watch PAO, despite the investments, the many important players he had brought in, and Željko as the coach, to have, in his opinion, a complexed and miserable mentality.
