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)

R•G•7 reported that his son, who would turn 10 in November and was attending the 5th grade, talked to him about F1 25, which he said was played by older students. After seeing the game's website and the PEGI 3 suitability rating, he asked Gemini for more information and expressed his surprise at the content. According to the description he provided, the game included races with teams, drivers, and tracks corresponding to real ones, career and team management features, a narrative storyline titled Braking Point 3, as well as online play or races with two players on the same screen. R•G•7 argued that the content warranted a rating for adults and not for children over the age of 3 years. He cited pit battles, driving at speeds over 200 km/h, and causing accidents without legal or insurance consequences, other than a penalty to the driver’s time. He added that, as described in the game, the police were not notified but a safety car appeared. He also mentioned that the communications in the pits contained, according to the description, strong curses and racist or misogynistic expressions. Connecting the reference to the speeds with traffic rules, R•G•7 wrote that speeds over 200 km/h incurred a fine of €2,000 and a one-year driving license suspension, with heavier penalties in case of reoffending. He expressed his opposition to the presence of such elements in a game with a PEGI 3 rating. #F1 #Formula1 #βιντεοπαιχνίδια (translated)

Nikos Apelaios II wrote that Ukraine is at the center today, but tomorrow it could be any area claimed by Russia. He argued that the entrance of Russian troops into Ukraine bearing flags with the hammer and sickle should not come as a surprise, as, he mentioned, they were nostalgics of the Soviet era. Giorgia Meloni was also mentioned in the post. #Ουκρανία #Ρωσία #ΠολεμικήΚατάσταση (translated)

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)

Vagg_Drakoulis described his meeting with Cory as a moment "worthy of the Louvre" and said it took place on 7/10/2026, as part of the campaign "The Huddle," which, he mentioned, aimed to bring athletes closer to fans. He noted that he had been writing and commenting about Cory since the summer of 2025, about six months before he wore the Olympiacos jersey. He asserted that, despite his age, he could upgrade the team's perimeter and enhance its capabilities, while describing his contribution to last year's EuroLeague and Greek championship titles as huge. He added that, in his opinion, age does not matter in basketball when there is motivation. #OlympiacosBC #Basketball #AthleteCommunity (translated)

Vasso Koulpa, the mother of Anastasios Koutsopoulos, described in her testimony at the trial for the Tempe disaster how she said goodbye to her son before he boarded the train. She mentioned that he was initially scheduled to leave the next day and that he had shown her his new mobile phone, which, as he told her, could be used to call in case of an accident. Koulpa said that at 11:05, Tasos informed her by phone that the train was delayed and that he was in Larissa. Later, when he did not answer her calls, her husband speculated that there might not have been a signal along the route. At 12:15, as she reported, her son George informed her that the train had derailed. The family set off for Larissa, and upon arriving at the scene, she was searching for Tasos among the injured and the people who were crying. At the hospital, according to her testimony, she saw a stretcher being taken down from an ambulance that carried a bag with a dead body, and she tried to determine if the body was her son’s. Later, she told the investigating judge that she did not know what exactly she had received, describing how her child had been burned. She claimed that Tasos had survived the collision and could have been saved if the fire had not broken out. Koulpa stated that she wanted to know the truth and requested that the investigation and justice not be influenced by political considerations. She also said that she did not accept human error as an explanation and called for all evidence to be examined. #Δικαιοσύνη #Τέμπη #Αλήθεια (translated)

Vicky referred to a statement by the interpreter Iro, who said that her interest was focused on the mobilizations of tens of thousands of students in Paris and the protests in Spain for the right to decent housing. Iro wondered when people stopped reacting to injustice and devaluation and when humanity and compassion gave way to profit. She added that "filotimo" was lost and that people became unjust, insensitive, and indifferent to others. #Αδικία #Ανθρωπιά #Συμπόνια (translated)

Papdim referred to what Rubio said, who argued that "nationalism" had become a negatively loaded term. According to Rubio, this had led to the demolition of monuments, the condemnation of history, and teaching children to be ashamed of their countries. He also said that countries had opened their borders, moved their industry abroad, and let their armed forces decline. #Εθνικισμός #Ιστορία #Ταυτότητα (translated)
