Nikos Apelaios II argued that Donald Trump's reference to an agreement to purchase Russian oil was a form of pressure on Ukraine to stop attacks on refineries and other infrastructure of the Russian invaders. He presented the move as a service to his friend Vladimir and claimed that Russian oil was no longer sufficient even for the Russians. He added that Ukrainians continued to strike Russian refineries, an action he endorsed, and that even Republican senators in the US had begun to react. #Ουκρανία #Ρωσία #Πετρέλαιο (translated)

He added that no one noticed the change. #Χρήμα #Ελευθερία #Πολιτικά (translated)

Many of our islands lag behind in infrastructure and are under threat. Today, we are submitting an amendment that proves we listen to communities, we do not disdain them. The president of Pasok announced the submission of an amendment that provides for the extension of the VAT rate reduction by 30% to all islands with a population of fewer than 3,100 residents, claiming that it is a measure of social justice and substantive island policy. #πολιτική #νησιωτική_πολιτική #αλιεία (translated)

"The members of the IEA also supported prioritizing the allocation of diesel stocks, to the extent possible, given the current tightness in the market for this particular fuel." The IEA member countries still have sufficient stocks of crude oil and refined products and are "ready to make more of these stocks available to the market if and when required," said the agency's Executive Director, Fatih Birol. #ΔΟΕ #Πετρέλαιο #Ενέργεια (translated)

Chris Avramidis argued that inflation burdened citizens and that inflation was not inevitable, as he wrote, the money leaving one side ended up on another. He noted that refineries reported profits of about 1 billion euros in the first half of 2026 and described the sector as an oligopoly essentially consisting of the Vardinoyannis and Latsis groups. He accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of allowing them to go unchecked and pointed out that proposals had been made to address the situation. He raised the question of why there was a profit cap at gas stations but not at refineries, reminding that a cap had been implemented in 2022 by New Democracy. Avramidis also supported the immediate extraordinary taxation of refineries. He said he had repeatedly brought the issue to the government spokesman and mentioned that a similar measure had been implemented in several countries, including Poland under Donald Tusk's government, whom he described as right-wing. Regarding the effects of inflation, he noted that general inflation could be set at 5.1%, but that rate, in his opinion, did not reflect the real burden on the poorest. He explained that large increases in everyday goods, such as milk, food, and other essentials, were offset in the general index by smaller increases in categories like insurance and financial services. He added that lower incomes spent a larger portion of their money on the goods that had risen most in price. In closing, he thanked Kontra and Konstantinos Maravelidis for the invitation. #Ακρίβεια #Πληθωρισμός #Οικονομία (translated)

"The geography of the city is my geography." "The route you describe is also the measure of the great changes that took place in the country, from the years of very great difficulties, as one could see them reflected in the streets of Athens, in shops that closed during the years of bankruptcy, in the increase of crime. You could see the crisis around you and experience it very clearly, especially if you had daily movement in the streets," Mr. Pierrakakis initially emphasized. #Αθήνα #Πολιτική #ΚυριάκοςΠιερρακάκης (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)

WELCOME OCTOBER! My suggestion for us this month: There are no authorities or ready-made caricatures of knowledge to copy. We are all fellow travelers on the same journey. This month, let us allow Dionysus to shake our certainties, to sweep us into the passion of pure creation and questioning. But at the same time, let each of us seek our own "holder"... this mental talisman of Odysseus, the inner anchor that allows us to open up to the greatest, unknown oceans of thought, while remaining whole, free, and masters of ourselves. Good morning to everyone! #Καλημέρα #ΚαλόΜήνα #Δημιουργία (translated)
