Nikos Boyiopoulos linked the anniversary of the liberation of Athens on October 12, 1944, with a conference and archaeological exhibition scheduled for October 15-17. He wrote that EAM, ELAS, and EPON liberated Athens from Nazi occupation at that time. Boyiopoulos argued that the titles and themes of the presentations downplayed the German occupation. He also criticized the event's poster, stating that it depicted a large Wehrmacht flag over the Acropolis, where, as he noted, Manolis Glezos and Lakis Santas had lowered the Nazi flag. He specifically referred to a presentation by a German historian, whose title linked the desire to be present when the flag was raised at the Acropolis with the horizons of imagination and the reality of the German occupation in Greece from 1941-1944/45. Boyiopoulos interpreted the title as an insinuation that aspects of the Nazi atrocities could be a product of imagination and connected his criticism to revisionist approaches regarding the 200 from Kaisariani. He characterized the event as a disgrace and emphasized that it was held under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture. As he mentioned, the conference was organized by the German Archaeological Institute of Athens (DAI), the Italian School of Archaeology, and the Institute of Historical Research/National Hellenic Research Foundation. #ΓερμανικήΚατοχή #Αθήνα #Ιστορία (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)

Panos Synodinou wrote that this particular person presented not only the opposite of what Nistrup had said, but also added elements that, according to him, he had invented. He ironically referred to him as "God." #olypao #paofc #olympiakosfc https://t.co/0jNaqBqOTN #ποδόσφαιρο #αθλητισμός #Νέα (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis told Mrs. Yamali that, according to recorded phone calls, the interested parties first called 166, even though there was no ambulance service there, and that the recordings documented a wait of 25 minutes. He accused her of presenting a misleading photo of an old, decommissioned ambulance instead of the one that was dispatched, and that she transmitted inaccurate information. He asked her to investigate the complaint before broadcasting it, noting that she could have contacted the mayor to verify which ambulance appeared. He requested an explicit denial and urged her to check what she had stated. He added that if she insisted on what he characterized as lies, he would use every available institutional means to defend the National Health System and the trust the public has in it. He clarified that he was not saying this as a threat, but to distinguish journalistic criticism from lying. #Δημοσιογραφία #ΕΣΥ #Αλήθεια (translated)

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)

The post described Athens as pro-Palestinian and stated that thousands of people had gathered yesterday and today on Lycabettus Hill for a solidarity festival in Palestine. According to the author, all proceeds would be allocated to social structures in Gaza and the West Bank. He added that participants were not required to tolerate anything, without completing the relevant phrase in the post. https://t.co/WSl1YFpMvR #Παλαιστίνη #Αλληλεγγύη #Φεστιβάλ #PS #GW (translated)

ShaqVII characterized it positively that some had quit smoking and alcohol. He claimed that this way, those who worked 14 hours a day could endure more and earn more. He also mentioned that not having their own home was a positive thing, as, in his opinion, they spent their money on the pleasures of life instead of on real estate. For those facing panic attacks and identity disorder, ShaqVII stated that they reacted normally in a society and life that, as he wrote, had been shaped by the boomers and were entirely selfish and overconsumptive. He added that younger people worked on themselves and shaped their character, in contrast to the boomers, who, according to him, vented their dissatisfaction with family complaints and onto their children. #κοινωνία #νέαγενιά #ψυχολογία (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis wrote that Pericles' Funeral Oration was delivered 2,500 years ago in Kerameikos and not at Pnyx, therefore he could not have heard it. He added that similar issues of geographical terms concerned the other speeches that had been mentioned and urged his interlocutor to stop, calling his references nonsense. #Ιστορία #Ελλάδα #Φιλοσοφία (translated)

John Vatatzis wrote that, in his opinion, for the past seven years the government attributes low birth rates to the fact that Greeks do not want to have children and not to economic difficulties. He noted that, according to a map, the wealthiest areas, such as the islands, had more births, while he described Athens as inhospitable for family creation. He added that instead of developing the countryside, supporting the primary sector, and promoting decentralization, the construction of more floors in large cities was being encouraged. He concluded that those responsible were not interested. #Ελλάδα #Οικογένεια #Οικονομία (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)

Antonia Sk.☆ wrote that she was leaving The Voice, as she could no longer handle the situation and found it impossible to continue watching it. She clarified that Paola was not to blame, while also adding that he was irreplaceable. #Thevoicegr https://t.co/FQ2IysMUla #TheVoiceGR #Παολα #Μουσική (translated)

greyCorvus reported that he had spent eight years in a relationship with a woman who had bipolar disorder and that gradually, from being her partner, he took on the role of caregiver. He described how he experienced manic episodes, depression, and psychosis, as well as difficulties in communication with doctors and in dealing with treatments that he believed did not help his partner. He said he often felt unheard and that he had taken on excessive responsibility for her condition. On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, he noted that behind people with severe mental illness, there was a daily life that was often invisible to others, as well as a caregiver trying to cope. He urged psychiatrists to listen to those who live with the patients, stating that they may know aspects of the situation that the doctor does not have the opportunity to observe. He also encouraged them to consider pharmacological options flexibly and to utilize pharmacogenetic testing where appropriate. He mentioned that, under specific clinical conditions and with proper monitoring, methylphenidate (Ritalin) may be an option, while the enzymes CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 influence the metabolism of certain psychiatric medications. He clarified that the testing is not a magical solution but can provide useful knowledge. Finally, he stated that his partner had broken up with him because, as she believed, she did not want to ruin his life. #παγκοσμια_ημερα_ψυχικης_υγειας #ψυχικήυγεία #ψυχιατρική #διπολικήδιαταραχή (translated)

The author argued that the border areas marked the beginning of each government's responsibility towards its citizens and their non-negotiable rights, not the end of Greece. He added that he envisioned a country that included every region and not just the large urban centers. https://t.co/XxoAurTikp #Ελλάδα #Δικαιώματα #Κυβέρνηση #GR (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)

Emily Yiolitis accused some of reproducing a misleading title to promote, as she said, "pseudo-patriotism," instead of listening to her entire discussion with Feidias. She added that others did it out of ignorance and others deliberately. Yiolitis stated that she presented her vision for a free, united, and democratic Cyprus, from Paphos to Kyrenia and Rizokarpaso. She declared that she honored the history and sacrifices of the heroes of EOKA and did not question the connection of the Greek national anthem with the struggles of Hellenism. At the same time, she mentioned that she envisioned a common agreement between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots for a truly free Republic of Cyprus, with a common anthem that would express freedom, democracy, and peaceful co-existence. She described a state without constituent parts, divisions, or minority groups of different speeds, where every citizen would have one vote. According to her, such an anthem would not negate the sacrifices of the heroes but would justify them. Yiolitis characterized this position as the essence of her intervention and said that the distortions took her away from its real meaning. She added that she was glad if her statements contributed even a little to a dialogue for the liberation of Cyprus, away from rigidities of the bi-zonal, bi-communal federation type. #Ελευθερία #Δημοκρατία #Πατριωτισμός (translated)
