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)

Billo wrote that the National Under-21 team would face Northern Ireland the next day in a crucial match.

He also added that the match would be broadcast at 19:00 by ERT. https://t.co/bjpdyLE86h #ΕθνικήΟμάδα #Τελικός #Ποδόσφαιρο (translated)

FLORENTIA wrote that, in anticipation of October 28, video content was expected on social media that, according to her, would reiterate arguments about Greek history from 1940. She predicted that their creators would attribute the Greek resistance to the use of pitch, would associate an 18th-century French card player with contemporary Greek identity, and would present Greece's victory as an accident. She also mentioned that they would argue that Italy had been provoked by Greece and would use footage of Greeks throwing flowers at German motorcyclists in 1941 as a sign of hospitality. FLORENTIA criticized the use of material from SS archives and argued that such narratives aimed, in her opinion, to overshadow agreements of friendship and non-aggression with Berlin and the shipment of chromium to the German war industry. She also referred to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the collapse of the front, and the sinking of the submarine Elli in Tinos. #Ιστορία #Γαστρονομία #Προπαγάνδα (translated)

Lukas Georgiadis wrote that Germany is in search of direction, France is doing very poorly, and Italy is heading towards the top of public debt. He mentioned that other countries are cutting benefits and unnecessary expenditures, while Greece, as he said, is exceeding its targets, distributing money to citizens as much as possible, and repaying debt early. He described Greece as an example for those who, in his opinion, do not think. #Οικονομία #Ελλάδα #Χρέος (translated)

For forty-five years, the Greek state has not been able to define maritime borders even with Italy, but now suddenly some "diplomats" from Menidi are screaming because we are not declaring an EEZ and 12 nautical miles in the Aegean... As if it were something like ordering pita gyros at Vrasida. As if the foreign policy of a country is always one-dimensional and does not change due to other factors... #no_more_charcoal_for_christ's_sake #όχι_άλλο_κάρβουνο_μωρέ #ΕξωτερικήΠολιτική #ΑΟΖ #Αιγαίο (translated)
