P.G. Papanikolaou wrote that on October 12, 1944, during the liberation of Athens, large crowds had taken to the streets to celebrate the departure of the Germans and to welcome the ELAS partisans. He argued that Greece was the only country that did not celebrate the liberation of its capital from Nazi occupation. He accused the PASOK and SYRIZA governments of not establishing a celebration, while he labeled the New Democracy as the political heir of the security battalions and said that the governments avoided displeasing Germany. Papanikolaou noted that Germany had about ten national anniversaries and holidays, including those for the reunification and unification of the country by Bismarck, as well as around fifty religious holidays. He also mentioned that the period from 1933 to 1945 did not have a corresponding national holiday in Germany and referenced the series "Dark" to explain his viewpoint. For the historical photograph, he mentioned that the tall man holding the flag and leading the demonstration was Mikis Theodorakis, representing Epon and EAM. #Απελευθέρωση #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα (translated)

Amalia wrote that on October 10, 1993, early elections took place in Greece and PASOK returned to power, where, according to her, it remained for the next 11 years. She attributed the fall of Konstantinos Mitsotakis' government to the independence of New Democracy MP George Sibilidis from Kilkis on September 9 and the MP from Ilia, Stefanos Stefanopoulos, two days earlier. Amalia mentioned that, in response to accusations that he was bribed by financial interests to overturn the government, Antonis Samaras had said that he defended "the patriotic character" of the party. She added that, 33 years later, Samaras was presented as "the soul of the party" and threatened, according to her, to oust Konstantinos Mitsotakis' son, Kyriakos, from power through a temporary party that, as she claimed, would bring the left back to power, which she described as bankrupt. In closing, she invoked Marx's saying that history repeats itself first as tragedy and then as farce. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ιστορία (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)

It encapsulated the inhumanity of today's housing crisis. A little later, Nikos Androulakis began his speech in Parliament referring to the death of the elderly Spanish woman, emphasizing that it "encapsulated the inhumanity of today's housing crisis." #ΠαΣοΚ #στεγαστικό #ιδιωτικόχρέος (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)

The president of PASOK, Nikos Androulakis, launched a strong criticism of the government from the podium of the Parliament, stating that its arrogance will have consequences for the Greek people in the elections, and emphasized the need for politics to focus on human needs instead of the interests of the few. #Ανδρουλάκης #στεγαστικήκρίση #πολιτική (translated)

Nikolas Moraitis mentioned that Alexis Tsipras had stated he would adopt the stance of a "Buddhist monk" in response to PASOK's blows, even if he deemed them unfair, and would not respond to Nikos Androulakis, who, as he wrote, accused him of destroying the country. According to Moraitis, Tsipras would choose this stance for the sake of the Center-Left. Moraitis mocked this choice and argued that Tsipras had followed a similar tactic during the period 2019-23 against New Democracy, in the media, and with the Truth Team. As he wrote, they even attributed the country's bankruptcy to him and portrayed the defamation in public opinion as a reality. He suggested that he should do the same against PASOK, which he described as a "nursery" party for ministerial posts of New Democracy. Comparing the situation with other countries, Moraitis wrote that the 80-year-old Lula in Brazil was fighting Bolsonaro, whom he called a fascist, while Pedro Sánchez in Spain had adopted the nickname "perro" ("dog") and was standing alone against the alliance of the Right and Far-Right. He contrasted this with Tsipras's stance, which he characterized as weak and old-fashioned, and said his vote for him was forced, not desired, as the only honorable alternative to the seven-year period he described as a mafia era. #Τσίπρας #ΠΑΣΟΚ #Κεντροαριστερά (translated)

Rick Blaine wrote that the prime minister and his companions from PASOK and To Potami warmly applauded Rubio, even though, as he noted, he expressed views for which in Greece some are derogatorily labeled far-right and described as ineffective patriots. "Figure it out," he added. #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα #Κοινωνία (translated)

The president of Pasok, Nikos Androulakis, stated that the protection of the primary residence is central to the party's proposed law and warned against allowing the distortion of Pasok's history, especially concerning the period of the memoranda. #ΠαΣοΚ #ΣτεγαστικήΚρίση #Ανδρουλάκης (translated)

Nikos Apellaíos II argued that, in the Greek political scene, only New Democracy, PASOK, and the Communist Party were not personality-based parties. As examples, he mentioned the parties associated with Tsipras, Velopoulos, Karystianou, Latinopoulou, Konstantopoulou, Varoufakis, and Kasselakis, as well as the parties in formation by Samaras and Kasidiaris. He wrote that such parties have little likelihood of longevity or stable electoral success, as, in his opinion, their existence, ideology, and structure depend exclusively on their leader. #πολιτική #Ελλάδα #κόμματα (translated)

Kyriakos Mitsotakis omitted to mention Antonis Samaras in his speech for the 52nd anniversary of New Democracy, while the embarrassment regarding the statements of a local MP from Pieria and the support of PASOK for the election of the Secretary of Parliament highlight political contradictions and selective memory in the political scene. #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Σαμαράς #Πολιτική (translated)

If George Papandreou had accepted my proposal to request a qualified majority of three-fifths for the vote on the first memorandum, as was necessary for historical and political reasons, things would have developed completely differently for all of us. According to Mr. Venizelos, PASOK backed away from the idea of a broader majority, "believing that the memorandum must be voted through at all costs in order to secure the loan and avoid an uncontrolled bankruptcy," while there was also "naivety" in thinking that "we will handle the memorandum, the country will be saved and we have no reason to share the..." #Βενιζέλος #Δαμανάκη #μνημόνιο (translated)
