Andreas Stalidis argued that 808 significant violations of the Prespa Agreement had been recorded by the authorities of Northern Macedonia, while in practice, he said, there were many more. He cited examples such as the country's president having sworn in as president of "Macedonia" and that both she and the prime minister had issued dozens of statements under that title. Stalidis also referred to a photo of the president of the "Macedonian Academy" and the consul in Canada, whom he said appeared to be dancing with the Vergina flag in front of a map of "Greater Macedonia" that included Greek territories. He added that the violations had been highlighted for years through questions in Europe, a bill proposal in the Parliament, and public interventions, without, in his opinion, any substantial mobilization. Referring to an official protest by the Greek embassy to the authorities of Northern Macedonia after a banner with the Vergina flag and an irredentist map was displayed at a basketball game, Stalidis said that the intervention was correct, but questioned why it was done so late and if it was related to the elections. He called on the government to abolish the Prespa Agreement and to bring the bill proposal to the Plenary, which, he mentioned, had been submitted and remained in the Parliament for 21 months. #ΣυμφωνίαΠρεσπών #Μακεδονία #Ελλάδα (translated)

The author wondered if the incident in Eleusis had received even 1% of the publicity that he believed it deserved and whether it had been mentioned in the Greek media. He argued that the 17-year-old was blind in one eye and that his identity as a nationalist, rather than as a person serving the system, did not favor the highlighting of the incident. For those he described as supporters of the system, he used derogatory language. #Ελευσινα https://t.co/onK2Sw6Prc #Ελλάδα #ΜΜΕ #Ελευθερία (translated)

"The Greece-Cyprus cable can and must proceed without any compromise on our sovereign rights." A clear message that the electrical interconnection of Greece-Cyprus can move forward without any concession on Greek sovereignty rights was sent by Kyriakos Mitsotakis during an interview on radio station SKAI 100.3 on the morning of Friday. #Ενέργεια #Κύπρος #Μητσοτάκης (translated)

Amalia presented a highly classified British report titled "Greek Security Battalions," numbered PIC/263/21 and PIC PAPER No 55, which, according to her, was sent to the Allied headquarters in the Middle East by an officer signing as "Colonel Chris" on July 18, 1944. Amalia assessed that the author was likely Chris Woodhouse. According to her presentation, the report stated that few Greeks willingly collaborated with the occupying forces and that their motivations were primarily self-interest, survival, or ambition. It also noted that, despite the impending departure of the Germans, the Security Battalions were reinforced after spring 1944, and their clashes with ELAS became more intense. Amalia interpreted this point as an indication that the Battalions aimed to prevent the communists from prevailing after the Germans' withdrawal. The report, as she described it, categorized the members of the Battalions into poor individuals who enlisted for survival, criminal elements, volunteers antagonistic to EAM/ELAS, anti-communist officers, and members of other organizations that had been attacked by ELAS. As an example, she mentioned 200 members of EKKA who joined the Battalions in Patras after the disbandment of the 5/42 Regiment in April 1944. Amalia stated that the author of the report negatively assessed the military actions of the Battalions, as they participated in German attacks against ELAS, but considered that some of their officers were capable. Politically, the report presented them as useful to some of the Greeks because they hindered the dominance of EAM and described three options for the Cairo government: support for EAM/ELAS, tacit support for the Battalions, or condemnation of both sides. The third option, according to Amalia, was considered to have the greatest likelihood of uniting moderate forces. The report concluded, as she wrote, that the actions of the Battalions and of EAM/ELAS were equally terroristic. #ΤάγματαΑσφαλείας #Ελλάδα #Ιστορία (translated)

The account The Little Wine of Tso #Komninos_Dynasty_Association wrote that they tried the day before to watch Nolan's "Troy" through Stremio, but stopped after 40 minutes. They mentioned that they were disturbed by the presence of actors from different ethnic groups, as well as a scene where, as they described it, an Indian was translating Greek into English for Odysseus to understand and an African was rapping. They added that their reaction may have also been due to prejudice. #Ταινίες #Νόλαν #Σινεμά (translated)

Eisi O Lo wrote that in Greek stadiums they insulted the mother of the coach of the European champion and ironically referred to why Bartzokas was to blame. He added that, in his opinion, it was shameful what the coach was hearing, while another person made vulgar comments daily without any reaction being heard. #olympiacosbc https://t.co/XwADvVslbx #μπάσκετ #Ολυμπιακός #πρωτάθλημα (translated)

Paris wrote that it seemed strange to him for a person who, as he mentioned, claimed to be a supporter of Olympiacos and was their most successful and longest-serving coach, to be receiving insults in Greek stadiums. He responded to the offenders with an insulting remark and added that he did not take into account either what he described as an unprecedented intensity of character assassination or the fact that incidents often occurred in stadiums that were friendly towards the person who, in his opinion, perpetrated it. #Ολυμπιακός #ποδόσφαιρο #σπορ (translated)

SUN2 reported that the president of the fishermen said that the situation was now worse than during the period of the memoranda and that he had been voting for New Democracy for 30 years. He called on him to resign and apologize to those whom, as he wrote, he had harmed with his vote. He added that he should become a candle lighter, where he would learn, according to him, the game that the importers from Senegal were playing with his vote. #πολιτική #ελληνικά #Δημοκρατία (translated)

Επειδή έχουν λυσσάξει τα τουρκάκια μ ένα δημοσίευμα των "Νέων" περί ελληνικού προληπτικού στρατιωτικού χτυπήματος,να τους ενημερώσω πως δεν είναι κάτι νέο.Υπάρχει ως σχέδιο στα ελληνικά επιτελεία,εδώ και 112 χρόνια. Απλώς ανανεώνεται αναλόγως των συνθηκών. Ο Ι. Μεταξάς μελέτησε και συνέταξε από τον Μάρτιο μέχρι τον Ιούνιο του 1914 το περίφημο άκρως απόρρητο σχέδιο εκπόρθησης των Δαρδανελλίων χωρίς προηγούμενη κήρυξη πολέμου στην Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία. Το σχέδιο προέβλεπε ένα ταχύ Ελληνικό προληπτικό συντριπτικό χτύπημα εναντίον του εχθρού με αιφνιδιαστική μεταφορά τριών μεραρχιών από την ηπειρωτική Ελλάδα στα στενά των Δαρδανελλίων. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, τα Α΄, Β΄ και Γ΄ Σώματα Στρατού θα προετοίμαζαν μια μεραρχία πλήρους σύνθεσης, κατάλληλα εφοδιασμένη και εξοπλισμένη χωρίς να προβούν σε τοπική επιστράτευση ώστε να μην προκαλέσουν υποψίες στον εχθρό. Το σύνολο του εκστρατευτικού Σώματος θα ήταν 27.000 οπλίτες που θα επιβιβάζονταν σε επιταγμένα ατμόπλοια στον Πειραιά και στην Θεσσαλονίκη. Τα ατμόπλοια θα μετέφεραν το Εκστρατευτικό Σώμα στην Λήμνο, όπου θα ενοποιούνταν οι δύο στολίσκοι και ακολούθως θα αποβίβαζαν τις ελληνικές δυνάμεις αιφνιδιαστικά στα Δαρδανέλλια στον μυχό του κόλπου του Ξηρού, όπου θα είχαν μεγάλη αριθμητική υπεροχή έναντι των μικρών δυνάμεων του εχθρού που δεν θα είχε προλάβει να επιστρατευτεί. Το σχέδιο ουσιαστικά παραβίαζε κάθε διεθνή νομιμότητα αφού δεν προέβλεπε κήρυξη πολέμου ούτε διακοπή διπλωματικών σχέσεων, αλλά καθιστούσε πολύ πιθανή μια ελληνική νίκη καθώς και την εξασφάλιση των ελληνικών κεκτημένων. Η διεθνής καταφορά εναντίον της Ελλάδας θα σιγούσε, αφού η Ελλάδα βρισκόταν ουσιαστικά σε αυτοάμυνα αντιμετωπίζοντας την συνεχή πολεμική απειλή των Τούρκων σε λόγια και σε έργα. Υπέρ του προληπτικού συντριπτικού χτυπήματος στα Δαρδανέλια είχαν εκφραστεί ο Βασιλεύς, ο αρχηγός του Γενικού Επιτελείου Β. Δούσμανης και ο υπουργός Ναυτικών Κ. Δεμερτζής . #Ελλάδα #Στρατηγική #Δαρδανέλλια
