Adonis Georgiadis said that Mega, on Anastasia Yamali's show, presented a photo of an old, decommissioned ambulance from Kythnos, linking it to the death of a 62-year-old in a tavern. He argued that the vehicle in the photo was not the one that responded to the incident. Georgiadis mentioned that the ambulance arrived within 25 minutes, that the calls were recorded and available, and that the doctor had a defibrillator with her and provided oxygen. He added that the 62-year-old had a cardiac history and did not recover. Regarding the ambulance that attempted to respond, he said it had passed the technical inspection two months earlier, had new tires, and had just come out of service. He also mentioned that the mayor who put it on the ship confirmed that the vehicle was in good condition. The minister described the presentation of the photo as misinformation and stated that such publications undermine public trust in the National Health System. #Υγεία #Ειδήσεις #Παραπληροφόρηση (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)

Chris Avramidis wrote that government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis did not answer directly whether the government agreed with the New Democracy MEP Eleonora Meleti, who, according to him, had spoken about employers being blackmailed by employees. According to Avramidis, Marinakis said that Meleti's related reference was limited and that she "must have received" complaints, while adding that he could not know if such incidents existed. Avramidis noted that when asked again whether the government adopted the position of the MEP, the spokesman did not respond with clear agreement or disagreement and referred to the importance of employers creating and paying for jobs. Avramidis commented that the answer portrayed Meleti as a defender of workers, even though, as he wrote, she had referred to employers who were being blackmailed by employees. #Εργαζόμενοι #Εργοδότες #Κυβέρνηση (translated)

"Well, I think that Russia would like to reach an agreement, and we have talked many times, but Russia would like to reach an agreement (...) however, for one reason or another, Zelensky does not want to reach an agreement" The American president Donald Trump reiterated yesterday Saturday that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin would like to reach an agreement to end the war with Ukraine, which has been raging since 2022, and accused the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky of resisting any compromise. #Τραμπ #Πούτιν #Ουκρανία (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)

Amalia accused Russia of deliberately launching attacks against civilians in Ukraine, citing strikes on apartment buildings, schools, shopping centers, public transport, playgrounds, and bridges. She argued that most of the victims were Russian-speaking individuals in Eastern Ukraine and criticized those who, as she wrote, showed sensitivity towards Palestine and Iran in Greece, but not towards Ukrainians. Regarding the recent strikes, she mentioned that in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, 22 civilians were killed, including 5 children—three of them one year old—and 54 were injured. For Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast, she wrote that two city buses were attacked and 33 people were killed, while the number of injured remained unknown. She added that 9 people were also killed in Kyiv, 2 in Kremenchuk, 2 in Konotop, 2 in Oleksandriia, and 1 in Zaporizhzhia, raising the death toll of civilian casualties over the two days to 71, according to her. Regarding the negotiations with U.S. intervention, Amalia claimed that Zelensky was accepting a ceasefire with the troops in their current positions and was asking for guarantees from the West. She stated that pro-Russian separatist forces controlled 60% of Donetsk Oblast before the Russian invasion of 2022, that since then the Russian army had captured an additional 20%, and that it had not managed to capture the remaining 20%. She asserted that Putin did not want a ceasefire, but a peace agreement that would require Zelensky to go to Moscow, the demilitarization of Ukraine, a constitutional commitment not to seek EU or NATO membership, and the recognition of the territories occupied by Russia since 2014, including Crimea. She added that Russia was also demanding the surrender of the remaining 20% of Donetsk Oblast that it had not captured. Amalia compared the situation to Cyprus, where, as she wrote, since August 1974 a ceasefire had been in effect under UN supervision, without a permanent peace agreement, because Turkey demanded recognition of the loss of territories and the pseudostate. She concluded that Russia sought, in her view, the humiliation of Ukraine and not peace. #Ουκρανία #Ειρήνη #Πόλεμος (translated)

We stand at the easternmost edge of the country. From here, where our homeland begins, we send a clear message. Our national sovereignty and our sovereign rights in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean are strong and non-negotiable, because they are based on international law of the sea and on rules without exceptions. A clear message to Turkey for respect for international law and the defense of national sovereignty was sent a little while ago from Kastellorizo by the president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, as part of his two-day visit to the border island. #Αιγαίο #ΕθνικήΚυριαρχία #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο (translated)

Ino wrote that she had left her family for a few hours to prepare the bag with the medications for her mother's fifth chemotherapy and first radiotherapy.

Chaca-Khan wrote that the Acropolis was used as a backdrop for the presentation of the nationalist narrative of MAGA, albeit with a more moderate wording. She added that in the same frame as the Parthenon appeared the American shield and described the image as "the definition of a colony." https://t.co/yCPJH3ThnC #Ακρόπολη #εθνικισμός #πολιτική (translated)

Leonidas ToEat wrote that Greece needed a multilateral foreign policy. As evidence, he mentioned that the country had taken over the presidency of the Security Council, that Rubio was in Athens, that a meeting of MED9 had been held, and that the East Mediterranean Gas Forum was taking place, with Greece in the spotlight. #ΕξωτερικήΠολιτική #Ελλάδα #Διπλωματία (translated)

Ross Geller mentioned that ten years ago he left his 9-5 stable job and secure salary to pursue entrepreneurship. He described the decade as a journey filled with hardships, setbacks, joys, and sorrows, which he said he wouldn't change for anything else. He added that it gave him the freedom he was seeking, as well as tough lessons that helped him move forward. #Επιχειρηματικότητα #Ταξίδι #Ελευθερία (translated)

Chris Avramidis argued that inflation burdened citizens and that inflation was not inevitable, as he wrote, the money leaving one side ended up on another. He noted that refineries reported profits of about 1 billion euros in the first half of 2026 and described the sector as an oligopoly essentially consisting of the Vardinoyannis and Latsis groups. He accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of allowing them to go unchecked and pointed out that proposals had been made to address the situation. He raised the question of why there was a profit cap at gas stations but not at refineries, reminding that a cap had been implemented in 2022 by New Democracy. Avramidis also supported the immediate extraordinary taxation of refineries. He said he had repeatedly brought the issue to the government spokesman and mentioned that a similar measure had been implemented in several countries, including Poland under Donald Tusk's government, whom he described as right-wing. Regarding the effects of inflation, he noted that general inflation could be set at 5.1%, but that rate, in his opinion, did not reflect the real burden on the poorest. He explained that large increases in everyday goods, such as milk, food, and other essentials, were offset in the general index by smaller increases in categories like insurance and financial services. He added that lower incomes spent a larger portion of their money on the goods that had risen most in price. In closing, he thanked Kontra and Konstantinos Maravelidis for the invitation. #Ακρίβεια #Πληθωρισμός #Οικονομία (translated)

The author wrote that the electrical interconnection provides adequacy and security of power supply, as well as geopolitical enhancement.

Nikī Tsavela stated that Antonis Samaras had instructed his supporters to accuse New Democracy of distorting its identity by broadening its appeal to other political spheres. She contrasted this with the European elections of 2014, when Samaras was prime minister, and claimed that Maria Spiraki, whom she described as a close associate of Akis Tsochatzopoulos, was his chosen candidate. She wrote that Samaras's team was intensely pressuring the party organizations to vote for her and that Spiraki received almost half a million votes. Tsavela mocked the reference to the "immaculate" faction and added that Samaras always had, to his credit, close friends from other political spheres. #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Ευρωεκλογές #Πολιτική (translated)

Spyros wrote that Giorgos Bartzokas was, in his opinion, targeted by the "system" once and glorified a hundred times. He stated that, while other coaches were cursing during timeouts, Bartzokas chastised his players to a much greater degree, even when they circulated the ball correctly and missed their shots. Spyros also mentioned that the coach cursed spectators during matches and climbed onto the railings, directing insults at women and children. According to him, the outcry stemmed from the combination of these behaviors and not from Boukouras or any other single factor. He added that the Olympiacos fans contributed to this image, as he wrote that they had depicted him on a T-shirt cursing women and children and defended him. He urged Bartzokas to start with himself if he wanted to change something, saying that, although he considered him an excellent coach, he risked being remembered in history for his offensive behavior. #Μπαρτζώκας #Ολυμπιακός #Καλαθοσφαίριση (translated)

Chris Avramidis stated that he asked the government how many projects from the Recovery Fund had been completed and were functioning, but he did not receive a numerical answer. He said that Kyriakos Mitsotakis was celebrating "100% absorption" of the 36 billion euros, while, according to a comparative study by PASOK, about two-thirds of the measures in the original "Greece 2.0" plan had been reduced in terms of physical scope, altered targets, or completely removed. According to him, several projects had been transferred to ESPA programs or to national resources. In light of the floods in Crete, Avramidis said that in July none of the four anti-flood projects and the 18 irrigation projects under consideration had been completed, and the same was true for water supply projects. He also noted that none of the civil protection policy objectives he set had been completed: the 13 regional centers, the upgrading of seven Canadairs, and the 11 firefighting aircraft. According to Avramidis, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis did not provide numbers and referred to other issues such as the personal doctor, the digital tutor, job vacancies, and absorption rates. When Avramidis repeated the question about civil protection projects, Marinakis reportedly said, "you probably have no idea about the functioning of the Recovery Fund," and pledged to ask for an update. Avramidis concluded by asking how much of the initial physical scope had been delivered and how many projects had practically improved the daily lives and safety of citizens. He said he was still waiting for numbers. #ΤαμείοΑνάκαμψης #Πολιτική #Δημοκρατία (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis mentioned that he traveled to Karpathos for the inauguration of a new CT scanner at the island's hospital, which he installed along with Giorgos Hatzimarkos. He added that the establishment of an artificial kidney unit was also progressing. Subsequently, according to his post, he welcomed the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas and participated in the events commemorating the anniversary of the Karpathos Revolution on October 5, 1944, which, he noted, led to the liberation of the island. Georgiadis said that he returned to Athens for the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of New Democracy, although he had other ministerial obligations. He criticized colleagues who, as he wrote, chose to be absent from the event due to other commitments. He also mentioned that he would travel from Rhodes to Kalymnos, where the surgical team of Mr. Sokorelos's Orthopedic Clinic would be transferred, so that patients who needed orthopedic surgeries could be operated on the island instead of being transported to Rhodes. He presented the initiative as part of a new philosophy of the National Health System, which would provide services to patients wherever they were. #Καραπάθος #Υγεία #ΕΣΥ (translated)

John Vatatzes wrote that the Tsar of the Bulgarians, Samuel, had built, approximately 1,000 years ago, the church of Saint Achilles on an islet in Little Prespa and that the lakes of Ohrid and Prespa were in the heart of his kingdom. He mentioned that Professor Nikolaos Moutsopoulos had found the bones of Samuel in 1965 on Greek soil and that they were kept in Thessaloniki. According to Vatatzes, Greece was asking Bulgaria to return thousands of relics and manuscripts that, he claimed, had been looted from monasteries in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace during the occupation of the area in 1917. He also noted that the Treaty of Neuilly provided for their return and that in 2014, during the premiership of Antonis Samaras, it had been agreed to return approximately 2,000 relics, without Greece agreeing to relinquish the rest. He himself accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of giving Bulgaria the bones of Samuel in 2026, which he described as being of inestimable historical and ideological value to the Bulgarians, in exchange for just 48 relics. He compared the move to Alexis Tsipras's concession of the name Macedonia in 2018 and argued that Greece had now lost its bargaining tool for the return of the remaining relics. #Ελλάδα #Ιστορία #Μακεδονία (translated)

Nikolaos Boyiopoulos wrote that Pierrakakis submitted the draft budget of the Mitsotakis government to Parliament. He claimed that it predicts an increase of 4.2 billion euros in taxes on goods and services in 2027, from 73.645 billion in 2026 to 77.878 billion. Regarding indirect taxes, he mentioned that Special Consumption Taxes remained at 7.3 billion euros and that VAT was projected to increase by 1.3 billion, from 29.229 billion in 2026 to 30.581 billion in 2027. He added that taxes on individuals were planned to increase by nearly 1.2 billion, from 15.815 billion to 16.995 billion, while capital taxes were, as he wrote, limited to 262 million euros. Boyiopoulos described the government’s policy as "social cannibalism" and said that the draft's figures reflected that. #ΈλλειψηΔικαιοσύνης #Φορολογία #Πολιτική (translated)
