PROBLEM

We are Greeks. Or are we El? From those good Nephilim from whom the Greeks descended? What can I say; Kyriakos Velopoulos of Hellenic Solution has more complex answers as he finds letters from Jesus, while he now appears to be reaching out to special constituencies, in this case archaeologists. There is no other way to explain why, in his last campaign video, we hear Modern Greek subtitled in Linear B. “We are Greeks and sign in Greek. We are Greeks, natives of Greece, the cradle of civilization. We do not just commit ourselves, we are confident that we will again be the first. We sign it with the first script of the civilized world, Greek,” the video says, among other things. Somewhere in Knossos lives the spirit of Arthur Evans…

ACCIDENT

“Pinocchio in front of Tsipras is a model of truth,” Freedom of Navigation President Zoe Constantinopoulou told (Mega) when asked about the president of SYRIZA. SYRIZA has nothing to do with Ms. Constantinopooulou at all, but the former Speaker of Parliament doesn’t seem to want to endure a six-month cohabitation with Mr. Tsipras. It is known that from the point of view of Tsipras, that period was not the best in his life. For Mr. Tsipras and his staff, Freedom Sailing and other groups to the left of Koumoundourou are a headache, not because of the daily noise of communications, but mainly because they seem attractive to the protest vote that SYRIZA would otherwise get. Varoufakis, on the one hand, Constantinopooulou, on the other, the first half of SYRIZA in 2015 returns this time as a heated, but very bad nightmare for Kumunduru.

FACE

Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, in addition to being the front-runner in Athens South, has the most efficient content creation staff. In recent days, he has appeared literally everywhere, in person and in all kinds of media. Of course, besides the election campaign, Mr. Dendias also created the content of discussions, such as those that started with “unwinding” and from Kumunduru for his “differentiation” from the prime minister, for example, about the Russian invasion. . Nothing of the sort follows from his interview on Yiannis Karakatsanis’ YouTube channel, but Mr. Dendias’ remarks about his relationship with his colleague Mevlut Tsavousoglu, as well as the dangerous threshold reached by Greek-Turkish relations, are particularly interesting. “I won’t hide from you that these 3.5 years were difficult – and it’s hard to put it mildly – it was a nightmare. We have reached the limits of the war with Turkey, this is not a joke,” Mr. Dendias said. Describing his position in Ankara in April 2021, he said: “You cannot be in Ankara, hear accusations that are completely contrary to international law, and remain silent simply because you are your friend’s guest.”

PLACE

Himarra. He was at the center of the campaign for the wrong reasons. The history is well known. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama must have had a hard time in recent days. Not because he was trying to knock Freddie Beleris out of the Heimarra municipality (a possible conviction would invalidate the election), but because there were a lot of phone calls in Tirana and from different directions. There are many interested partners in both Athens and Tirana who do not want to tarnish NATO’s image at this critical moment. This explains why Mr. Rama promises to talk about the Beleris case after the Greek elections so that, as he said, it does not become an object of political exploitation. “The Greek minority cannot become a pawn in the elections,” Mr. Rama said. It is also good.

ATTACK

“People crave both football and politics. Those are the two things that are always interesting. It is impressive that on the night of the debate, which was the Champions League match, the world almost split in two. However, I look forward to a debate between Mitsotakis and Tsipras with great interest in the near future. I hope it doesn’t coincide with the Champions League final,” said Miltiadis Varvitsiotis, the West Sector candidate. Between us, he’s not wrong. If the debates are also organized on June 10, the day of the final, it will be difficult even for those who have to watch them.
