And let's continue the previous post with the smaller four players:

🧭 Hellenic Solution - Kyriakos Velopoulos: A party that came to prominence in the aftermath of the banning of Golden Dawn, claims the space from the right of New Democracy up to the far-right, as a patriotic, nationalist party.

🔸 The leader, Kyriakos Velopoulos, was for years a telemarketer on smaller television stations, giving opinion pieces, selling books about or inspired by Hellenic culture and history, as well as various dubious Christian items, such as letters from Jesus Christ and wax creams that claim to solve all ailments. Not a lot of genuine political positions.

🟠 MeRA25: The Greek branch of the European DiEM25, led by Yanis Varoufakis, the co-founder of the European movement.

🔸 Yanis Varoufakis, an international economist, known also for (at least partly) designing Valve's Steam virtual economy, participated in the first six months of the SYRIZA government, from January to August of 2015, as minister of finance.

🔸 His attempts to negotiate the terms of the deal with ECB and IMF led to yet another bailout, with worse terms than the ones proposed, when the threat of a "Grexit" and a return to the national currency backfired due to lacklustre planning. The party itself centers around leftist, internationalist and pan-European ideas, with no concrete plans and an attitude of student protest, that also characterised the early days of SYRIZA.

☦️ NIKH: A new party, led by theologian Dimitrios Natsios.

🔸 The party has released a surprisingly detailed programme, especially when it comes to education. The results of the first elections of 2023 surprised everyone, when ΝΙΚΗ almost made it to the parliament, and
surpassed MeRA25, which participated in the previous parliament.

🔸 A strong focus on the "Faith, Fatherland, Family" triptych, with mandatory Orthodox Christian education for all children. The party does not accept incumbent politicians or freemasons at its ranks. To participate, you have to be Greek and Orthodox Christian.

💜 Plefsi Eleftherias (Course of Freedom): Founded by the former SYRIZA member and President of the Hellenic Parliament, Zoe Konstantopoulou.

🔸 While the members all come from various leftist parties and organisations, she has tried to distance the ideological position of the party, instead trying to pass it off as an anti-establishment organisation seeking justice (notably for the WWII reparations), heavily relying on her own as a lawyer.

🔸 Came surprisingly close to entering the parliament in the first elections of 2023, after which, the founder curiously replaced the top performers of the elections with either celebrities or, in one case, her civil partner.

🔴 Frontex video shows the immigrant ship 16 hours before it reached Pylos and sank
>https://archive.is/ONkR2

👉 Previous post on shipwreck

🔸 The video was revealed to have been taken by a FRONTEX drone/plane 16 hours before the ship carrying hundreds of illegal immigrants sank in the Mediterranean

❓ The question now is why did FRONTEX not act? a ship absolutely full of people can be seen in the video and even better with thermal imaging, how many boats does FRONTEX spots on a regular basis and simply allows to enter Europe?

/GBG/
🟢 Europeans should be demanding that FRONTEX does its job and prevents these ships from even entering European waters, not observe until they do, the deaths are not FRONTEX or Europe's fault either, its the fault of those who wanted to go to europe and exploit the system posing as 'refugees'

🔴 For the first time, the number illegal immigrants living in the Lesvos camp of Kara Tepe has been reduced and now houses less than 1500
>https://archive.ph/qq8TB

🔸 The immigrant camp initially housed an estimate of 9000 illegal immigrants and was extended previously to increase its capacity. Recently the Greek government has announced that an estimate of 1480 officially live in the camp, while 155 live in juvenile camps.

🔸 It is worth noting that 1/3 of the illegal immigrants in the island of Lesvos have legal documents (Asylum visas), which allow them to travel and they are expected to leave the island shortly

/GBG/

🟢 The illegal immigrants that have left the island did not get deported, they instead were transferred to camps or villages in mainland Greece as part of a government move to reduce their presence in the islands and please its inhabitants that were asking for it for a very long time (mostly leftists live in the Greek islands of the Aegean)

🔴 Immigrant woman shot dead in Evros this Saturday (16)
>https://archive.ph/4c4fD
>https://archive.ph/uS3FG

🔸 The incident happened Saturday night in the Evros river, near Soufli. The Greek patrol located the illegal immigrants using thermal cameras, they were on board an inflatable boat carrying 11 people

🔸The troops tried to prevent them from crossing the river by making gestures and using spotlights. Shots were then fired from the Turkish side probably by Turkey's military

🔸 When the boat arrived the Greek side of the border, only 5 people were on board and one woman was found dead in the water. She was shot in the back at point blank distance with a .22 handgun, probably by the smuggler as such weapons are not used either by Greeks or Turks at the border

🔸 The 5 illegal immigrants on board were all Africans, most likely Ethiopians and have been transferred to Alexandroupolis, one of them was a "minor" and they paid 2000 Euros each to cross the border

🔴 Boats with illegal immigrants heading towards the Greek island of Kos seen being escorted by drones
>https://archive.ph/cyZbx

🔸 According with sources that have been verified by Newpost.gr, boats with dozens of illegal immigrants have reached the island of Kos with Turkish drones following them.

🔸According with the report, the immigrants were being transported mostly to two areas in the island which have now been put under surveillance, but boats with illegal immigrants keep arriving. For the most part, the illegals arrive by boat, stay hidden in the woods for a while and then look for the authorities so that they would be sent to a camp and could apply for asylum

/GBG/

🟢 It is likely that the drones are part of the smuggling operation so that the smugglers can advertise their services and also to record the "pushbacks" of Greece protecting its maritime borders

🔴 A Turkish human smuggler 'escaped' from the prison of Trikala
>https://archive.ph/lc0lr

🔸 The 37-year-old human smuggler was, according to police sources, a leading member of a gang that transported illegal immigrants from Turkey to Greece

🔸 He was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined 120,000 euros. The criminal received permission to leave the prison on 04/04/2022 (Monday) and had to go back to prison on 06/04/2022 (Wednesday)

/GBG/

🟢 The justice system in Europe is obsolete, it was a system created to deal with honest people, who have honor and moral values, things that are virtually non-existent in the west in general. But expecting criminals to willingly go back to prison on a 20 year jail sentence is too stupid

🟢 The incompetence and unwillingness of European governments to solve simple problems such as keep prisoners in jail and deport immigrants who are in jail is absurd

With the second round of elections coming up this Sunday, and based on your responses to recent polls, let's give a quick who's who in terms of parties and some key people of these elections. Let's start with the main four:

🔵 New Democracy: Incumbent government. Traditionally had the base of the "popular right", these days it occupies the space of the centre, with economically and socially liberal policies. During their tenure as government, they handled the 2020 border crisis, the COVID pandemic, during which they enacted restrictions based on vaccination status, secured foreign and domestic investment, enacted policies of subsidies (called "passes"), for getting the vaccine, for shopping groceries or acquiring digital equipment.
  
🔸 In their pre-election programme for these elections, one key policy they seek to implement is the so-called "Family Ministry" with which they seek to tackle the demographic ageing issue (due to recent pressure from their right) and, curiously, also serve the needs of the homosexual community.

🟣 SYRIZA (Coalition of the Radical Left) - Democratic Alliance: Opposition for the previous 4 years, and governed from 2015 to 2019. Used to be the typical coalition of minor radical leftist parties, with results in the single digits, until the two elections of 2012, at the peak of the economic crisis in the country, where it achieved double digit results, and in 2015, came to power in a coalition with the right-wing ANEL. As the success of the party came from Alexis Tsipras, their president, the character of the party changed to a more presidential style. Ideologically, they range anywhere between centre-left, as with their rise, and the parallel fall of PASOK, they absorbed a lot of opportunity-seeking former PASOK members, to far-left, due to members stemming from various minor radical left parties.

🔸 Their tenure as government was characterised by capital controls in 2015, the Prespes Agreement with FYROM, the attempt to separate Church and State (Tsipras was the first Prime Minister to take a civil oath instead of a religious one), an eventually overruled referendum over the acceptance of the (unneeded) third bailout, harsh austerity measures resulting from it, despite Tsipras' very vocal opposition to them when SYRIZA was in opposition. Recognition of homosexual partnerships, and high taxation. Their key points of their pre-election programme are a rise in taxation in order to fund more social programmes.

🟢 PASOK (Panhellenic Socialist Movement): The party that first brought the left to power in Greece, as well as the only party in the world that has a political syndrome named after it (see: Pasokification). Ideologically pinned to the centre-left, their return to popularity in the recent elections came from their new president, Nikos Androulakis, as well as the harsh (and largely unexpected) decline of SYRIZA, due to more moderate leftists being unable to accept SYRIZA's more polemic and scattered rhetoric. As far as policies are concerned, they are, perhaps purposefully, rather undefined.

🔸Governed in the 80s until the early 2000s, with small gaps. Their tenure as government was characterised by rapid economic growth. Participated in the coalition governments that enacted the first two bailouts after the 2009 economic crisis, and suffered in popularity ever since, getting single-digit results until the first elections of 2023.

🔴 KKE (Communist Party of Greece): The oldest party in Greece, with countless youth or syndicalist branches, and equal number of off-shoot (very) minor parties, like ML KKE (Marxist-Leninist KKE) and KKE ML (KKE Marxist-Leninist). Their results range between 5% to 7%. Their positions have remained largely unchanged in the past 80 years, with the party literature using the same vocabulary since the days of Stalin.

🔸Popular with the university youth, especially with their current president, but curiously, the election result always remains the same.

🔸 A 33 year old man was arrested and was pointed out as being the smuggler, his nationality was not released but since the ship sailed from Turkey he is most likely a Turk

🟢 News about immigration will increase since its a hot topic due to the shipwreck. That being said 2023's summer has been predicted to be one of the worse since 2015 with immigration in early 2023 being the highest since 2015 and 2016 (post here, here and here)

🔴 EU council new Immigration Reform

‼️👉 PART 4/4

✳️ Curbing secondary displacements
🔺 All Asylum applications MUST be made at the country of first entry (Greece and Italy), limiting the possibilities of suspension or transfers so that they are unable to choose a country they want to apply for Asylum. The country of first entry will be responsible for the application for TWO YEARS. If a border country rejects the application at the border during the new #AsylumProcedure and the person re-applies, the country's responsibility for that person will expire after 15 months
❌

/GBG/
🟢 The reform will make things worse and speed up mass immigration, benefitting countries that would rather pay to not receive them (as Germany proposed Greece before 👉POST HERE👈 and 👉HERE👈) as well as reducing the sovereignty of countries who refuse to accept them as well as send immigrants back to border countries if they move to other EU countries before or after being granted Asylum

🔴 The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus (4th century BC), Argolis, Greece

The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus (Peloponnese) is regarded as the best preserved ancient theatre in Greece in terms of its perfect acoustics and fine structure

It was constructed in the late 4th century BC and it was finalized in two stages. Originally the theatre had 34 rows of seats divided into 34 blocks by stairs and walkways.

Due to its incomparable acoustics, the actors can be perfectly heard by all 15,000 spectators. This is a superb example of classical theater with an orchestra and the circular area between the seats and the stage. The highest distance of the concave is 58 meters, while the diameter of the stage is 20 meters

🏰 3 years ago at this exact time of day, the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris started to burn. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary and a jewel of French Gothic architecture, it was built over a Roman temple to Jupiter and completed in 1260 after a century of labor.

🧭 Notre Dame is the point zéro of France, its historical and spiritual center. It has endured centuries of wars, extensive desecration during the French revolution, an attempted destruction during the end of the Paris Commune, and two world wars.

🕯The fate of Notre-Dame and of the French people is one and the same. And as both get damaged by modern tides, time will tell what will happen of them.
