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)

Amalia wrote that on October 10, 1993, early elections took place in Greece and PASOK returned to power, where, according to her, it remained for the next 11 years. She attributed the fall of Konstantinos Mitsotakis' government to the independence of New Democracy MP George Sibilidis from Kilkis on September 9 and the MP from Ilia, Stefanos Stefanopoulos, two days earlier. Amalia mentioned that, in response to accusations that he was bribed by financial interests to overturn the government, Antonis Samaras had said that he defended "the patriotic character" of the party. She added that, 33 years later, Samaras was presented as "the soul of the party" and threatened, according to her, to oust Konstantinos Mitsotakis' son, Kyriakos, from power through a temporary party that, as she claimed, would bring the left back to power, which she described as bankrupt. In closing, she invoked Marx's saying that history repeats itself first as tragedy and then as farce. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #ιστορία (translated)

FLORENTIA challenged a post about Drama and Serres, which, as she wrote, mentioned 300,000 dead Muslims, coercion of survivors to convert to Christianity, and concealment of events from Europe for 80 years. She characterized these claims as unhistorical and cited the Ottoman census of 1906/1907, according to which the total Muslim population of the Sanjak of Serres, which included Drama, was below 175,000. Regarding the period of the Second Balkan War, in June and July 1913, she stated that the cities were under Bulgarian occupation. She referenced a report by the Carnegie Foundation from 1914, which, as she claimed, recorded that the retreating Bulgarians burned more than 4,000 houses in Serres and killed hundreds of Greek civilians. She added that the Greek Army stopped the destruction and that, based on records from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it had guaranteed by proclamation the safety, property, and religious freedom of all residents. According to her, the Muslims who remained in Macedonia retained their religious rights and their mosques until the Population Exchange. FLORENTIA also stated that, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, approximately 350,000–400,000 Muslims were organized and peacefully relocated from Greece to Turkey. She countered that the number of 1.5 million referred to Greeks from Asia Minor and Pontus, whom, as she wrote, were violently displaced or exterminated by the Young Turks and the Kemalist regime. She concluded by arguing that turning tourist destinations into tools of hatred through false claims and distortion of historical evidence constituted a new practice. #Ιστορία #Δράμα #Σέρρες (translated)

Nikos Appelaios II posted statements in which Greece was described as an essential ally of NATO and a pillar of stability and American presence in the region. The text also mentioned that the cooperation between Greece and the USA extended to defense, trade, investments, and energy. The statements tied the Vertical Corridor to Greece's emergence as an energy hub and the increase of US LNG exports to Europe. Chevron and ExxonMobil were presented as signs of American companies’ confidence in Greece, and there was a reference to the economic declaration of the two countries for creating a secure energy supply chain and critical minerals. In response to a question about US support for energy projects, the speaker stated, according to the post, that there was a strong commitment to cooperation with Greece. He linked energy security to national security and said that events in Iran highlighted the need to diversify energy sources. He added that some projects concerned sensitive issues and other countries, which might be better addressed through private initiative or in specific forums. #Ελλάδα #ΗΠΑ #ΕνεργειακήΑσφάλεια (translated)
