John Vatatzis wrote that, in his opinion, for the past seven years the government attributes low birth rates to the fact that Greeks do not want to have children and not to economic difficulties. He noted that, according to a map, the wealthiest areas, such as the islands, had more births, while he described Athens as inhospitable for family creation. He added that instead of developing the countryside, supporting the primary sector, and promoting decentralization, the construction of more floors in large cities was being encouraged. He concluded that those responsible were not interested. #Ελλάδα #Οικογένεια #Οικονομία (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II praised a man he did not name, saying that despite the mockery, slander, and threats he faced, he defended his homeland instead of accepting what, according to him, was offered to him and leaving. He claimed that for almost five years he has forced Russia to fight for every inch of land and that, while he is counterattacking, Donald Trump appeared to betray him. Appelaios said that the man had earned the respect of every honest and rational person and that History would remember him as an indomitable fighter and faithful defender of his homeland. For Vladimir Putin and Trump, he used derogatory terms, saying that History would record them as an invader and accomplice, whom he also referred to in a derogatory manner. #Πατρίδα #Ιστορία #Ελευθερία (translated)

We stand at the easternmost edge of the country. From here, where our homeland begins, we send a clear message. Our national sovereignty and our sovereign rights in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean are strong and non-negotiable, because they are based on international law of the sea and on rules without exceptions. A clear message to Turkey for respect for international law and the defense of national sovereignty was sent a little while ago from Kastellorizo by the president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, as part of his two-day visit to the border island. #Αιγαίο #ΕθνικήΚυριαρχία #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο (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 president of PASOK, Nikos Androulakis, fiercely criticized the government for Mitsotakis' proposals regarding the housing crisis and presented amendments for the reduction of VAT on the islands as well as financial support for fishermen. #πολιτική #νησιωτική_πολιτική #αλιεία (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis mentioned that he traveled to Karpathos for the inauguration of a new CT scanner at the island's hospital, which he installed along with Giorgos Hatzimarkos. He added that the establishment of an artificial kidney unit was also progressing. Subsequently, according to his post, he welcomed the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas and participated in the events commemorating the anniversary of the Karpathos Revolution on October 5, 1944, which, he noted, led to the liberation of the island. Georgiadis said that he returned to Athens for the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of New Democracy, although he had other ministerial obligations. He criticized colleagues who, as he wrote, chose to be absent from the event due to other commitments. He also mentioned that he would travel from Rhodes to Kalymnos, where the surgical team of Mr. Sokorelos's Orthopedic Clinic would be transferred, so that patients who needed orthopedic surgeries could be operated on the island instead of being transported to Rhodes. He presented the initiative as part of a new philosophy of the National Health System, which would provide services to patients wherever they were. #Καραπάθος #Υγεία #ΕΣΥ (translated)

He added that the Region and municipalities were working to restore access to the affected areas and that a government delegation would go to the island on Monday to coordinate the assessment of damages and recovery processes.

Amalia wrote that a recent report by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the heroization of Nazism and racism included a separate chapter on Greece. She stated that her post was not addressed to the Left and argued that some leftists supported Vladimir Putin's regime in the hope of reviving the USSR, which she considered unlikely. At the same time, she criticized those who identified as right-wing and, according to her, idealized Russia as a country of traditional values, opposed to irregular migration and globalization, and friendly to Greece due to Orthodoxy. According to the excerpts of the report she provided, the Russian ministry accused Greece of not recognizing a Turkish national minority in Thrace, but only a Muslim one, which included Turks, Pomaks, and Roma, totaling over 120,000 people. The report allegedly also mentioned restrictions on the use of the term "Turkish" by associations, state appointment of muftis, and concerns of the UN Committee on Racial Discrimination regarding the self-determination rights of the community. Regarding Kos and Rhodes, according to Amalia, the report claimed that Muslims were not recognized as a minority and did not have Turkish-speaking schools. Amalia also stated that the report accused Greece of poor reception and detention conditions for refugees, illegal returns of asylum seekers to Turkey, and pushback operations. According to her, it also compared the treatment of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa with the hosting of 23,800 Ukrainians. Finally, she wrote that the report charged Greece with not having ratified the framework convention for national minorities, the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and the international convention on the rights of migrant workers and their families. #Ελλάδα #Ρωσία #ΥπουργείοΕξωτερικών (translated)
