The far right, Samaras and the flexible Alexis, the hunt for the “ungrateful Blue”, K.M. from Paris to Kastellorizo, the army camp and the suitors ///
Merz's party pays the price for AfD's surge as Le Pen's National Rally now leads French polls; Samaras flirts with the far right while Tsipras inflates his own bloc's numbers, and Mitsotakis heads to Kastellorizo as Star Bulk, Aegean and National Bank make waves in the markets
The imprint left by the Fair, the New Democracy “ingrate”, the Greek mega fund manager and Alexis’s Nephilim, developers’ anxiety, and news from the shipowners ///
New Democracy's post-fair standing comes into focus as ministers defend fresh tax measures, Mitsotakis heads to Egypt for talks with Sisi, EVEA's president needles the government, and Star Bulk plots a historic Athens dual listing
What we learned from the TIF: the giant giveaway package, the PM’s inevitable comparison with the other two, and the “we’re all one big family” culture of ministers, Maximos and backroom dealings
Behind the giveaways lies a bruising rift between Mitsotakis and Antonis Samaras, mounting renewed unease inside New Democracy's own ranks in northern Greece, and Yiorgos Mylonakis's return to duty after months of serious ill health
You ate all my rings (crazy priest baptized him, my Alexis), the Thessaloniki Fair tax on board members, the miracle at the Superfund, OTE’s baptism
///
New autumn polls and the TIF pre-election package, an interesting article on the Samaras party and a quiz — spot the differences between ministers
///
Mitsotakis, the complaints, Ivan and Telis, PASOK wakes up from summer (and votes for Akrita), Eleusina, the Piraeus Port Authority and the Chinese, shipowners buy 550 ships
The PM pushes ministers into a full Macedonia and Thrace tour, PASOK backs Akrita for Deputy Speaker, lignite plants face a contested extension, and Motor Oil, GEK TERNA and Greek shipowners all hit new record highs
State real estate at Maximos Mansion, good green news from Brussels, Floridis eyes Thessaloniki A’, Nikos A.’s “meat feast”, Fairfax wants Goody’s and Everest ///
Hello, the economy-focused days continue at Maximos Mansion (the Prime Minister’s office), with a major meeting yesterday chaired by the Prime Minister, attended by Finance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis and other relevant figures, on the utilisation of state-owned real estate.

Why Samaras will…take his time with the party, K.M. writes about the Thessaloniki International Fair, his no-meeting with Erdogan in Washington & Piraeus Bank moves ahead with IASO
The VLCC that doubled in price after leaving Greek hands & waiting for NVIDIA
What K.M. & Tsipras say about the elections, the phantom investor and the crème de la crème, bonuses at Astieras & shipowners selling tankers
Dynacom bets on the turmoil & Tesla’s big show on September 3
Mitsotakis’s order to “round up the ripe ones living off public money,” the Thessaloniki Fair, Tsipras and Samaras, the Spetses tip-offs, and is George Papandreou’s son standing in Heraklion?
Hello, good morning, welcome back, and happy late summer, although we are still in the grip of a heatwave and a quiet Athens that will gradually fill up again and find its normal rhythm.
