The… winter chatter in the cafés and focus groups, the government went to Thessaloniki, and Ivan… everywhere (stadiums and ports), the golden dividends of Asteras ///
-Hello, we are officially in the last week of summer, and just before the “kickoff” of the new political season, which always starts with the Thessaloniki International Fair, the topic of discussion “in cafés across the country,” as the old political reporters used to write in newspapers, is that… starting Monday there will be revelations, […]
Polls before Thessaloniki International Fair, PASOK and Tsipras, Theodorikakos’ tickets through AADE, Novartis’ wealthy secretary, Holterman and Alimos Marina
Hello, usually in August the only thing we don’t deal with is polls, since… even the stones know that conducting surveys during vacation season is pointless, people are… generally offline. I saw a survey yesterday from the company Interview (for politic.gr) and I want to comment on a few things, noting first that it’s an […]
The… oracle of Mitsotakis on the electoral law, the Thessaloniki Fair via WhatsApp, VAT kaput in construction, the Nikas-Yfantis deal closed, the banks’ 100 mil. contribution
Hello there, the first day back to school yesterday (Maximos Mansion) went pretty much as it always does at the blessing ceremony, that is, with smiles and joy. They exchanged impressions from summer holidays, comments on current affairs, and at some point someone casually asked K.M. “if the issue of changing the electoral law is […]
The political scene and the Thessaloniki Fair, K.M.’s intentions, Tsipras’s party and Patelis’s book, the two big deals of the season, Ivan’s hot winter with Teli ///
– Greetings, welcome back we say, though not “have a good winter,” because with the way the climate has turned out, it may only get cold in three months’ time. In any case, our own… school year starts today. After three weeks of holidays, we hope you missed us—because we certainly missed you. So, Athens […]
The little gift, Tzoumakas and the backgammon-playing source, Benny the spinner, the mysteries of the Monastery, Kimberly’s welcome, the Emfietzoglou villa
-Greetings, dear readers!The time has come for us to take a vacation too—today is our last edition until the end of August (around the 21st), when we’ll return. So, before signing off for summer, let’s set the record straight—at least as a seasoned old PASOK friend of mine put it—regarding the affair with Mavrakis’ “little […]
Parliament – OPEKEPE finale (Part A), PASOK’s touchy ones, PPC’s garbage venture, Enel and Stassinopoulos’ investments ///
– Greetings,As we said yesterday, we weren’t going to get any wiser about the OPEKEPE scandal from the parliamentary debate—unless someone actually bothered to watch it (and honestly, who in their right mind would do that at the end of July?). But if they did, they’d have come away with two things crystal clear.First: not […]
Nikos, the shepherd and the political fixer (remember Mavrakis’ little gift?), Kyranakis… calls out the Italians, the new marinas of Attica and beyond ///
-Hello there, so yesterday the show in Parliament was stolen by our beloved (and I believe we’re his too) leader Nikos A. I don’t know what got into him, probably out there in the pastures he’s wandering around in Crete he must be… getting an earful from his local mates and thought he should soften […]
Alexis is forming a party (because now’s the time), Dendias’s jab (where it landed), ND and the Preliminary Committee, and the Lavrio port extension
-Hello there, well I just can’t hold back even though it’s the end of July—news is still news. Hear ye, hear ye: our dear leader Alexis has made up his mind once and for all (I’ll tell you the reasoning too), and barring any unexpected developments, he will announce his new party sometime between this […]
The match of the Inquiry Committee kicks off (with K.M. present): the bioscandal (green specks…), the immobile conscription of Rafina, K3 (hot stuff), and Steggos diving into the waste game
– Hello there,It was mathematically certain that with the temperatures we had this past weekend—right in the middle of summer—and Beaufort 7 winds lasting at least until Saturday evening, we’d see wildfires break out. Luckily, the wind died down yesterday, and overall it seems the state firefighting mechanism functioned well. Fingers crossed for what’s ahead, […]
Domestic (non)spats… a touch of modesty, water breaking, Alexis’ little fox, the Planet master, Lara and Galaxidi, and the EYATH scenarios ///
-Hello there. So, heat, heatwave, humidity… We’ve basically turned into Thailand, so to speak. At least we don’t have any wildfires—yet. In the midst of this heat tightening its grip, some family laundry is being aired in public (Skertsos–Pyrgioti). Mr. K.M. himself openly sided with Akis on the matter, because, you know, you can’t be […]
