I will raise it again personally, at the European Council on Thursday and Friday: it is a simple, logical, and responsible proposal. "Europe must take into account that the crisis in Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the instability in the Red Sea are driving up the costs of energy, raw materials, and transportation, and, in particular, that they are fueling an inflation that is getting out of our control, but particularly affects households, production systems, and public finances. This specific issue has already been raised by the Minister of Finance, Giancarlo Giorgetti, at the recent Ecofin meeting. I will raise it again personally, at the European Council on Thursday and Friday: it is a simple, logical, and responsible proposal," concluded Giorgia Meloni. #Ενέργεια #ΕυρωπαϊκήΈνωση #Μελόνι (translated)

Maria Denaxa argued that the conflicts in France should not distract from the wave of anger that, as she wrote, continued to intensify despite police violence, mutilations, and what she perceived as efforts to downplay it. She warned that announcements and images projected by media outlets and paid social media accounts would represent attempts at manipulation. Denaxa stated that 86% of citizens rejected Emmanuel Macron and claimed that he had misled 60 million citizens. She also wrote that "Macronism" had ended as it had begun, with violence against those who demanded a better future, leaving behind, in her view, a France in an irreversible state. At the same time, she argued that Europeans should not tolerate leaders who, as she claimed, undermine the future of their children and may lead them into an irrational war to maintain their positions. She named Macron, Ursula, and Merz, saying that they were trying to create the impression that everything was going smoothly, while the situation in France was at risk of spiraling out of control. #Γαλλία #Ευρώπη #Μακρονισμός (translated)

Leonidas Palaiodimos mentioned that Foreign Minister Rubio spoke at the Pnyx about Western, European culture, which he described as the greatest in the history of humanity, stating that it was born in Greece, flourished in Europe, and spread beyond it. Palaiodimos commented that, in his opinion, these are self-evident truths that many are afraid to say for fear of being labeled racists. He added that Rubio had argued that devotion to the nation is neither selfish nor wrong. Palaiodimos noted that he considered the lack of devotion to the nation to be selfish — or, depending on the case, self-flagellating. He also said that he was embarrassed by the fact that, as he perceived it, Rubio showed more enthusiasm and gratitude for the contribution of the Greeks to the world than Greek politicians and part of the Greek people did. #Πολιτισμός #Ελλάδα #Έθνος (translated)
