I don't think it makes sense to sugarcoat things too much. The truth is that Line 1 is currently in a very problematic situation due to extremely old trains. However, this is changing. After the completion of the route, Kyriakos Mitsotakis acknowledged that the current state of Line 1 is problematic, mainly due to the advanced age of the rolling stock, emphasizing that this situation is beginning to change. #ΗλεκτρικόςΣιδηρόδρομος #Μητσοτάκης #ΑνακατασκευήΣυρμών (translated)

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)

Tasos7 wrote that, despite the fact that the championship still had a long way to go, the "elite" of Lanoua ignored a clear second card to Antino Santino Mantino in a match of 11 against 11 and gifted three cards to Luza in the first half. He accused the entire government of trying to gift the championship to the "eternal nobodies" and described the effort as ridiculous, comparing it to an alleged attempt by Macron to give the title to Troyes. #Πρωτάθλημα #Ποδόσφαιρο #Αθλητισμός (translated)

Karditsastakra noted that most stores on main streets in provincial towns had closed. He attributed the despair of shopkeepers to rampant inflation, excessive taxation, limited purchasing power, the economic devastation caused by lockdowns, and the lack of substantial support. As an example, he described the pedestrian street of Florina, which he characterized as the most central street in the town, on a Saturday in October at 11 in the morning. He said that it used to be bustling with life, while then four out of five stores were closed and empty. According to him, the spaces were not being rented out because no one was interested in leasing them anymore. He added that among the few open spaces was the office of the local government representative, which, he commented, made the desolation around it even more ironic and tragic. #ΟικονομικήΚρίση #Ακρίβεια #Καταστήματα (translated)

Eugene Javara criticized someone who, as he wrote, was filmed at the Louvre in front of the Venus of Milo, a Greek statue that, according to him, was created about 2,200 years ago. He mentioned that the person used vulgar, derogatory terms for the statue and then posted the video on social media. He concluded by calling the person a "finished Tephal" and answering affirmatively to his own question. https://t.co/UfP7FiVyYf #Αφροδίτη #Λούβρο #Τέχνη (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)

Odin wrote that a young man returned from a vacation in Poland, where he had gone with Sopena, having suffered cultural shock. He described the country as spotless and flawless, and mentioned that children and women were walking in the streets. He argued that the people there lived in a utopian paradise, but they could not enjoy it because Sakis from Exarchia called them racists. #Πολωνία #πολιτισμικόσοκ #διακοπές (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)
