It feels so weird to see people from the whole world talk about the tragic situation that happened in Greece a couple months ago, where a ship carrying migrants and refugees capsized and the EU refused to go on a search. But this isn't the only time this has happened. The Greek government has been treating asylum seekers and migrants like absolute SHIT for ages. Our authories are non-stop violent to them, and continue to push migrants back to the Turkish border, many of them have absolutely nowhere to go. Children are missing school out of hunger. Our intelligent service has spied on journalists that report conditions at the border. This is inhuman. Months may have passed but our government won't change. And I want more people to know about this.

είδες το φιάσκο με τον κούλη κ τον σούνακ σημερα;;;; δεν ξέρω πως να αιστανθώ αλλά νομίζω αισθάνομαι λίγη ικανοποίηση που έφυγε τρομαγμένος ο σούνακ χεχε

For the xenoi reading this, the ask is about this event, and I'd like to point out the irony of a PM of Indian descent supporting the British Museum and not siding with the Greeks here - given how many stolen and blood-stained Indian relics the British Museum houses.

Εμενα δε μου αρεσει που απεφυγε τη συναντηση, και σιγουρα δεν τρομαξε απο τον Κουλη. Στα παπαρια του (σχωρατε τα γαλλικα μου <3) ο Κουλης και η Ελλαδα. Αισθανομαι πως το Ηνωμενο Βασιλειο την εχει την Ελλαδα σαν κουραδα..

(παντως χαιρομαι που τουλαχιστον καποιος αισθανεται ικανοποιημενος 😄)

Spread of greening disease in Brazil pushes Greek orange prices higher

The extreme weather conditions during the summer did not have a significant impact on the citrus production in Greece, says Nick Nafpliotis, company director of fresh produce exporter Greek & Fresh: “Greece did experience extremely hot weathering last July. However, the citrus was fortunately not affected by this, nor from the frost. This means that in general, the quality of Greek oranges and Clementines is very good this season. Quantities are a bit lower than they were last season, as we’re seeing a drop of about ten per cent, which is only a minor difference”.

The situation halfway across the world is having a big impact on the orange season in Greece as well as in Europe, Nafpliotis explains. “According to the research group Fundecitrus, the rapid spread of the greening disease in Brazil, which seems to have infected about 38% of Brazil’s production area, can see their yields reduced by 60 per cent over the next five years. The source of this is Reuters. Furthermore, according to CitrusBR, which is a group representing Brazil’s major citrus producers, the orange juice stock of the Brazilian processors is currently at the lowest levels of the last twelve years, due to both weather and greening impacts.”

Greece definitely has some sort of Stockholm syndrome, because guess what! The same right wing party that has been screwing us over and over and over, won the elections today!

I got to say as Greek people, we need to accept that the obsession most non-Greek white people have with our ancestors isn’t good for us. Because you can pick through any group of white book nerds to find one of them with a fixation on the works of Sappho, Euripides, and Aristophanes, but try getting them to know any bit of Greek history that happened after the Fall of Constantinople and they will look at you like you asked them to grow a third eye. Like there’s a reason that when you go to a university you have a decent chance of finding a “Classical Greek” language course but are shit out of luck in finding anything about what modern Greeks actually speak.

Its because white non-Greeks think of our culture as something that has been dead for centuries, not a living, breathing facet of our lives. If modern Greeks are mentioned at all, we solely exist as either background characters to their holiday vacation, or as a mass of ignorant under-classed labor robbing the EU of money.

Like just because white non-Greeks will fawn over our ancestors and the stories they told, does not mean they will actually treat us with any modicum of respect or decency. Because at the end of the day, we mainly exist in the white Western imagination for the supposed legitimacy our ancestors gave to the West. They cling to our ancestors’ culture, their scientific advancements, their admitted superiority complexes over other cultures, and their state building to justify and emblazon their own. Any aspect of our history that doesn’t help fuel their ego over a white European identity is discarded.

I have also made it a point to specify white non-Greeks because it is in the service of whiteness that this is all done. Because ancient Greek culture has been shoved at colonized people for centuries as one of many supposed reasons for why white people and an imagined homogenous white culture are better than them. So, the relationship colonized people have with our ancestors’ culture, especially those who are currently living in Greece and facing constant oppression from both the state and white Greeks at large, is not at all the same as white non-Greeks relationship to our ancestors’s culture.

So to end this post, the way Greek people’s ancestors are propped up and obsessed over in the West, neither provides modern-Greek people with respect by white non-Greeks, or is without violence of its own against colonized people. It doesn’t mean that our ancestors don’t deserve to be thought about or studied, or that white non-Greeks are bad for doing so, just that we need to accept that most white non-Greeks relationship with our culture is not the net positive we tend to think it is.

More evidence the Greek Coastguard was behind the capsizing of the refugee and migrant ship last month in which 600 people are estimated to have died. What's more is it looks like it's not the first time they've falsely accused victims of being human traffickers. Corruption plain and simple

Εμένα πάντως το αγαπημένο μου σημείο σε όλη αυτήν την κατάσταση με την παραίτηση του Αλεξέι είναι ο σχολιασμός από τα ΜΜΕ και ειδικά ο Ευαγγελάτος που έδειχνε διάφορες φώτο από τότε που ήταν νέος ως τώρα και κάθε 5 περίπου λεπτά πετάει ένα "τώρα που δεν υπάρχει πια ο Τσίπρας" - ΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΕΙ ΕΠΙΤΕΛΟΥΣ ΚΑΠΟΙΟΣ ΌΤΙ ΔΕΝ ΠΈΘΑΝΕ 💀

Αααααα καλά ο Ευαγγελάτος είναι ο σταθερός κλόουν σε κάθε περίσταση 😂 Πως δεν έβγαλε ακόμα κανένα φέρετρο αναρωτιέμαι

Greece: 11 MPs who left SYRIZA announced of a new parliamentary group

Former members of the main opposition party SYRIZA have announced the formation of a new parliamentary group.

An event was held on Monday where eleven lawmakers announced the formation of the group.

The New Left group’s leader, former Interior Minister Alexis Charitsis, said:

We want a new, modern, European Left, a reliable, militant, visionary Left, a broad and open-minded Left that speaks with honesty and clarity.

He said Greek politics was in a serious crisis, manifested in the divisive course of their former party SYRIZA. Alexis Charitsis added:

There is a need to put forward a wholesome, ambitious plan that will provide answers to the big issues of our time: climate crisis, social inequalities, and the overall quality of democracy in the 21st century. New Left will fight the big battle of the June 2024 European elections with progressive ideas that will translate into actions.
