Nikos Appelaios II wrote that, two days earlier, Antonis Samaras had attempted, through the US embassy and a close diplomatic friend of his at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to meet with Rubio at the hotel where he was staying. According to him, Samaras sought a brief standing meeting to secure a photo that he could use politically. He added that he had also sought the mediation of Kimberly Guilfoyle, but the request was categorically denied, while he used a derogatory term for Samaras. #Σαμαράς #πολιτική #διπλωματία (translated)

Leonidas ToEat estimated that the impact of Rubio's speech was in some respects comparable to that of Mitsotakis' speech in Congress, but overall clearly stronger, as it came from the Secretary of State of a superpower. He added that the speech coincided with a vertical upgrade in Greece–US relations and mentioned energy, shipping, and defense as critical factors. #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #ΔιεθνείςΣχέσεις (translated)

StrategicWarCrafted wrote that, after the speech of American Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Pnyx, the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas offered him the English edition of "Pericles' Funeral Oration" from the Parliament Foundation, with a handwritten dedication. The author noted that, according to Thucydides, the Funeral Oration was delivered in the winter of 431/430 BC, at the end of the first year of the Peloponnesian War, during the burial of the Athenians who were killed in battle. He added that the ceremony took place at the public cemetery of Kerameikos and not at the Pnyx. According to StrategicWarCrafted, the text linked the idea of the ideal city-state with democracy, freedom, courage, and public ethics. He also wrote that Rubio presented Athens as the birthplace of characteristics that shaped the West and called on the West to regain its confidence. Referring to Thucydides' "Histories," Book II, Chapter 43, the author attributed to Pericles the message that the dead should be a model and that happiness was linked with freedom and freedom with courage, while the dangers of war should not be avoided. He called on the country's political leadership to take this exhortation into account and wrote that it was not a time for bribes, but for the salvation of the Nation. He concluded with the phrase "Judges will judge us, the unborn, the dead." #Δημοκρατία #Ιστορία #Πολιτική (translated)

Leonidas Palaiodimos mentioned that Foreign Minister Rubio spoke at the Pnyx about Western, European culture, which he described as the greatest in the history of humanity, stating that it was born in Greece, flourished in Europe, and spread beyond it. Palaiodimos commented that, in his opinion, these are self-evident truths that many are afraid to say for fear of being labeled racists. He added that Rubio had argued that devotion to the nation is neither selfish nor wrong. Palaiodimos noted that he considered the lack of devotion to the nation to be selfish — or, depending on the case, self-flagellating. He also said that he was embarrassed by the fact that, as he perceived it, Rubio showed more enthusiasm and gratitude for the contribution of the Greeks to the world than Greek politicians and part of the Greek people did. #Πολιτισμός #Ελλάδα #Έθνος (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis said that he closely watched the speech of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at Pnyx, in front of the Acropolis, and described it as the most important political speech he had ever heard. According to him, Rubio spoke not only as the head of American diplomacy but also as a political representative of the people of the West, and his speech had historical significance. Georgiadis stated that he fully agreed with what Rubio said and that he felt proud of Rubio's admiration for Greek ancestors, as well as for the public recognition of Greece's credibility and success. He added that Greece, Rome, and Christianity represented, in his view, the foundations of Western civilization and argued that its decline needed to end so that the West could rediscover its roots, values, and spirit. Finally, he expressed his congratulations and gratitude to Rubio. #Πολιτική #ΔυτικόςΠολιτισμός #Ελλάδα (translated)

The P.A.M.E. reported that workers violated the prohibitions and demonstrated en masse against the visit of the U.S. Secretary of State, whom they described in a particularly denunciatory manner. They announced the escalation of mobilizations in the coming period with a nationwide workers' strike and concluded with a slogan against providing support to those they consider responsible for the death of peoples. #ΠΑΜΕ https://t.co/bQjTCSmEb9 #ΕργατικάΔικαιώματα #Αγωνιστικά #Διαδηλώσεις (translated)

Avgerinos Thanassis reported that President Putin appointed today a new ambassador of Russia to Greece, the 66-year-old Yuri Gorlats, who was the head of the Crisis and Emergency Situations Center of the Russian Foreign Ministry and had previously served at NATO headquarters and in European affairs. He wrote that the change of ambassador, after 12 years, might indicate that the Kremlin was taking into account the messages from the majority of Greek society and a significant part of the Greek elite. According to him, these groups wanted the fastest possible restoration of relations and rejected military escalation, which he associated with European bureaucracy. He also characterized as a clear and proven mistake the Greek government's choice to take the lead in the rupture of relations with Moscow. #Ρωσία #Ελλάδα #Διπλωματία (translated)

Αδυνατώ να καταλάβω γιατί το ΥΠΕΞ στην τουρκική ανακοίνωση για την Τριπολιτσά εξέδωσε μία αμυντική ψοφοδεή ανακοίνωση αντί να υπενθυμίσει τις τουρκικές σφαγές στην Πόλη, την Σμύρνη, την Κύπρο, την Χίο, τα Ψαρά, την Κάσο, την Σαμοθράκη, τον απαγχονισμό του Γρηγορίου Ε΄ κλπ. #Ιστορία #Ανακοινώσεις #Τουρκία
