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)

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)
