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)
Babis Georges Petrakis wrote that 22-year-old Louise Montangon, a graduate philosophy student, had stood out in France for her interventions regarding student protests. According to him, she had denounced on television shows that the "Islamo-left" was instrumentalizing them, while she criticized the violence and the blockades of schools, saying that a noisy minority was preventing the majority of students from attending classes. Petrakis noted that Montangon had stated that she was ashamed to belong to her generation and had emphasized the importance of effort and excellence. Petrakis added that Montangon had denounced violence, threats, and bullying from leftist students, and that she had interrupted her in-person classes for safety reasons. In his description, groups of dozens or even hundreds of people were waiting to remove her from the school and the library. He also said that she had stated that she would not back down from her views. Petrakis mentioned that Montangon belonged to the National Rally (Rassemblement National) of Marine Le Pen and was working for common ideological platforms among the conservative parties of France. #Γενιά #Φοιτητές #Ιδεολογίες (translated)
"Thanks to our COMPLETE CONTROL over the Strait of Hormuz and this important announcement regarding Russian energy, diesel prices for Americans and indeed for the entire world will DECREASE to RECORD LEVELS, AND QUICKLY!" Donald Trump linked the agreement to the effort to reduce energy costs, claiming that the increase in the supply of Russian diesel, combined with the control that the US supposedly exerts over the Strait of Hormuz, will lead to a rapid de-escalation of prices. #Ρωσία #Τραμπ #Ζελένσκι (translated)

Chris Avramidis mentioned that in a few days there would be a large solidarity concert in Halkidiki for a person facing serious health problems and, as he wrote, had refused money from Eldorado. He said that the event could also give a new boost to a movement that, according to him, had suffered persecution, repression, and imprisonments. He reminded of incidents of night police raids on homes and arrests in front of families. Avramidis linked the concert to a similar event against gold mining that had taken place 12 years earlier with almost the same people. He referred to an earlier interview he had with Thanasis Papakonstantinou, who, as he described, had spoken about the protection of the Earth, the relationship of the inner world with the environment and other people, as well as the role of the artist. According to Avramidis, Papakonstantinou had dedicated a song to Eldorado. He said that he had condensed the interview into a short video and that the full version included, among other things, Papakonstantinou's criticism of communist ideology and its approach to the environment, as well as references to previous statements by Antonis Remos in support of Antonis Samaras. He added that the musician had satirized the then-prime minister. The concert, which according to the post would take place on Friday in Ierissos, would feature Thanasis Papakonstantinou, Giannis Aggelakas, Pavlos Pavlidis, Irini Skylakaki, Giannis Charoulis, Natassa Bofiliou, Dimitris (Chaineis) Apostolakis, Social Waste, Dimitris Mystakidis, Matoula Zamani, and Andriana Achitzanova. Avramidis mentioned that Pavlos Aslanidis, president of the association of victims' relatives from the Tempe disaster, and Kyriakos Panagiotopoulos, emeritus professor of Soil Science at Aristotle University, would speak at the event. He also stated that local residents had invited him to participate and coordinate the event, while expressing his determination not to back down against authority. #antireport #skouries #συναυλία #αλληλεγγύη #Χαλκιδική (translated)

Spyros wrote that Giorgos Bartzokas was, in his opinion, targeted by the "system" once and glorified a hundred times. He stated that, while other coaches were cursing during timeouts, Bartzokas chastised his players to a much greater degree, even when they circulated the ball correctly and missed their shots. Spyros also mentioned that the coach cursed spectators during matches and climbed onto the railings, directing insults at women and children. According to him, the outcry stemmed from the combination of these behaviors and not from Boukouras or any other single factor. He added that the Olympiacos fans contributed to this image, as he wrote that they had depicted him on a T-shirt cursing women and children and defended him. He urged Bartzokas to start with himself if he wanted to change something, saying that, although he considered him an excellent coach, he risked being remembered in history for his offensive behavior. #Μπαρτζώκας #Ολυμπιακός #Καλαθοσφαίριση (translated)
