[00:01:57] Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Good Sunday morning.
[00:02:00] September 20th, I wasn't even sure, I had to
[00:02:04] see it. 10 days left until the first month of
[00:02:07] autumn ends. How do the days pass so quickly? I don't know if you feel it too.
[00:02:11] I feel like time is running and we are chasing after it. Very nice
[00:02:14] dawn. See the beautiful lights here from the Sky camera above. With a lot of traffic
[00:02:18] ladies and gentlemen this morning. Many cars and weddings. We saw
[00:02:21] cars with ribbons. Be careful on your return.
[00:02:25] Be careful with driving and if you have drunk it, leave it better. Take a
[00:02:29] taxi.
[00:02:32] I hope you are all well. We are here together and we will be for a full
[00:02:36] four hours with a lot of news and nice
[00:02:39] connections and we will have everything today and I remind you ladies and
[00:02:43] gentlemen that if you want to contact us, if you want to send a
[00:02:46] message, a photo, a question,
[00:02:49] an inquiry, a complaint, we are here, we have opened and we
[00:02:52] are waiting for you in all possible
[00:02:56] access sources, Facebook good morning, Greek characters, Instagram,
[00:03:01] 2026 and of course the show's emails
[00:03:03] sky.gr.
[00:03:06] I see the messages have arrived, in a little while we will make the connection to
[00:03:09] air them. Sunrise today at
[00:03:13] 7:11 in the morning and sunset at
[00:03:16] 19:25. This ordeal of getting dark from 5 in the
[00:03:20] afternoon slowly begins. Day length
[00:03:23] 12:14 minutes. So we will proceed with the
[00:03:27] day getting shorter and shorter until the time changes again. And we will
[00:03:31] have night from 5 as I said. Let's look at the
[00:03:34] weather a bit, in some areas today, ladies and gentlemen, there will be completely
[00:03:37] summer temperatures, it will even reach 32°. In
[00:03:41] some others however, like here in Attica, it will even be
[00:03:44] cloudy, I have them here and I am cheating a bit, it says, a few scattered
[00:03:48] clouds are expected in Attica with winds up to 5 Beaufort and
[00:03:52] up to 30° here in the capital, the temperature.
[00:03:55] The suitable person to tell us in detail is Panagiotis Giannopoulos, let's go and
[00:03:59] listen to him.
[00:04:08] Good morning. Today, Sunday, the weather in our country will initially be generally clear. In the
[00:04:11] afternoon, however, local clouds will develop in the mainland and in areas such
[00:04:15] as Epirus, Macedonia, Thessaly, local showers or
[00:04:19] isolated thunderstorms will occur. The northern winds in the Aegean will be strengthened, they will have an intensity of
[00:04:22] six and locally even more. The temperature will not
[00:04:26] change significantly and will again remain at levels higher than normal, it will...
[00:04:30] reach 30° in mainland areas. In Attica, the weather
[00:04:33] will be generally mild with a few clouds at noon, the temperature will range from 18-30°,
[00:04:37] the northern winds in the Nevoikos will locally reach 6 Beaufort. In
[00:04:41] Thessaloniki, the weather is expected to be generally clear at the beginning of the day, later local
[00:04:44] clouds will develop and in the afternoon, mainly in the surrounding mountains, some local
[00:04:48] showers or isolated thunderstorms will occur, the winds will be light, the temperature from 17
[00:04:52] to 29°. On
[00:04:54] Monday again, the day will start with a clear sky, but in the afternoon we will have
[00:04:58] local clouds and some.
[00:05:01] Mainly mountainous mainland areas, the northern winds of the Aegean
[00:05:05] will not exceed 6 Beaufort. In the Ionian, the northern winds will be up to
[00:05:07] 5, the temperature will not change and again at
[00:05:11] noon the thermometer will. Pass 30° in mainland
[00:05:14] areas. On Tuesday, however, we expect initially some rain, some showers in the
[00:05:17] northern parts of the country, later it will rain in the central parts of the country, on
[00:05:21] Wednesday the rains and local thunderstorms will be less, the important thing for
[00:05:25] Tuesday will be the drop in temperature, the thermometer will drop by three to
[00:05:28] 5° and will remain at these levels on Wednesday as well.
[00:05:32] This was the latest on the weather, be all
[00:05:34] well.
[00:05:43] The only salvation this year with the energy crisis and with prices
[00:05:46] soaring is for the weather to remain mild, so we don't have a very harsh
[00:05:50] winter, otherwise I think the situation will be very depressing. Look at this
[00:05:54] beautiful shot from outside, look at the Parthenon,
[00:05:57] lit up, beautiful in the night, with the camera from the
[00:06:01] Sky building reaching there and giving us this
[00:06:04] beautiful image. Very nice, Lefteris
[00:06:07] Theodorakopoulos in our company, we have breaking news, good morning
[00:06:11] Lefteris, we start. First with fires, we have a fire at this moment in
[00:06:14] Nea Makri, we also had one in Marousi, fortunately they managed to
[00:06:18] put it out.
[00:06:20] Happy Sunday Fai, happy Sunday to you, to everyone, our viewers, in the studio,
[00:06:24] in the control room, to everyone. So, at this moment, a fire is
[00:06:27] in progress in Nea Makri. The first information said that it was
[00:06:31] dry grass. Subsequently, after we contacted the fire department, it was a
[00:06:35] fire in a stable. As we speak,
[00:06:39] 30 firefighters and 10 vehicles are operating, however, the image
[00:06:42] they have from the fire department is that in a little while this fire
[00:06:45] will be brought under control and is not a cause for concern. Now,
[00:06:49] last night, opposite the OTE building in Marousi, a
[00:06:53] fire had broken out in dry
[00:06:56] grass, where the fire department intervened, the
[00:06:59] firefighters intervened and brought it under control quickly. This happened
[00:07:03] around 11-11:30 at night, so there is no cause for concern. Again,
[00:07:06] good. Now, in Marousi, there are also some areas that are outside the plan, I don't know what
[00:07:10] it is, it's like a village now. You tell us it's uncleaned, even though
[00:07:14] we knew all this time that there was a need for it to be
[00:07:17] cleaned either by the owners or by the municipality. Now, imagine
[00:07:21] ladies and gentlemen, in the center of Marousi, opposite OTE, to
[00:07:25] have such issues. Fortunately, they managed to put it out.
[00:07:28] All's well that ends well. Let's go to Agios Stefanos, Lefteris, with a
[00:07:32] video you secured. A terrifying video. A
[00:07:35] woman is in her house and while she is normally in her
[00:07:39] living room, burglars entered.
[00:07:43] Four men enter who thought no one was
[00:07:47] home. At some point, as you can see, let's
[00:07:50] hear it and you'll tell us everything. Yes, yes.
[00:08:14] Come on, my Lefteris, then let
[00:08:17] me start differently, because listening to the woman, each
[00:08:21] of us is shocked, and with what despair she asks for help, because at that
[00:08:25] moment they entered her space, they desecrated her house, it was
[00:08:28] four men who entered her house at 9:20 in the
[00:08:32] evening, they thought no one was there, at some point they had not even
[00:08:36] realized there were cameras, obviously, at some point one
[00:08:39] decides, after seeing the alarm, to... disable
[00:08:42] it, so he climbs on the table and starts to disable the
[00:08:45] alarm, at that moment the alarm rings, the
[00:08:49] woman realizes that someone is entering the house, she probably saw them on the cameras and that is
[00:08:53] when she starts shouting for help, this happened in Agios
[00:08:56] Stefanos at 9:20 in the evening, so
[00:08:59] you understand
[00:09:01] the
[00:09:05] anxiety. From the outside shots, it is also in a relatively central location, it is not
[00:09:08] secluded, it has lights, it has some movement, it has cars
[00:09:12] and...
[00:09:15] and suddenly all these people barge in, they set off the alarm, that's
[00:09:18] why we see the beacon extinguishing and the woman
[00:09:21] shocked, calling for help, police, help, thieves, police,
[00:09:25] help, thieves and the images are, are these,
[00:09:29] what followed after? If you're in the next room, if you're in the next
[00:09:32] room, you know there are four men and you're alone or
[00:09:36] four people who have entered your house with bad intentions and you're alone or
[00:09:40] by yourself, the fear not in. It takes over you and the terror
[00:09:44] is, is
[00:09:46] unprecedented.
[00:09:49] Uh, as far as we know, no, they didn't take anything from her,
[00:09:53] because the woman reacted instinctively and so they
[00:09:56] fled. Now, if they took something small as they left,
[00:09:59] fortunately she wasn't harmed, because it could have been very dangerous
[00:10:03] this direct contact of the burglars with the woman who was
[00:10:06] inside. And let's conclude now with Agios Panteleimon. Look
[00:10:10] here, images now, huh? They were hiding in a warehouse everything they had
[00:10:14] stolen, all the electrical
[00:10:17] appliances, so it was basically a warehouse of
[00:10:20] stolen goods. And how did the
[00:10:23] police discover this? As you can see from the footage, it was after they arrested a
[00:10:27] 49-year-old and a 69-year-old man who had taken all these things and
[00:10:31] put them in this small warehouse. They were looking for an
[00:10:34] electrical appliance that had been reported stolen. So from the signal that
[00:10:38] they detected from this appliance, they found themselves in
[00:10:42] this vault, this semi-basement in Agios Panteleimon
[00:10:46] that no one can imagine. All this they had
[00:10:48] done was like a small shop of electrical goods that had inside
[00:10:52] computers, it had portable batteries, it had. A lot of very expensive
[00:10:56] mobile phones and all these things in Agios Panteleimon in
[00:11:00] a semi-basement downstairs. Fortunately, however, the police found them
[00:11:04] and they will even be returned to those who had
[00:11:08] reported them stolen all this time, their
[00:11:11] items and so they will find them from there, where
[00:11:15] no one expected that if I lost my phone, it would suddenly be found. How?
[00:11:19] Yes, it will be returned to the owners, this will be
[00:11:22] identified, yes, correctly. We will talk
[00:11:26] again in a little while, let's go ladies and gentlemen to Greek-Turkish relations,
[00:11:30] unfortunately we constantly have escalation and exacerbation
[00:11:33] from our neighbors. Yesterday we were here talking about Guler's statements,
[00:11:37] now we have Manolis Kostidis' full report, we have Fidan's statements,
[00:11:41] come on, let's see together what he said, if Greece proceeds with
[00:11:44] reckless actions, Turkey's strength is
[00:11:48] known. I have here the full report as
[00:11:51] recorded by Manolis Kostidis. We have close friends,
[00:11:54] he says. Among politicians in Greece many times they say
[00:11:58] that tomorrow will not be the same, but
[00:12:01] he, uh wait a minute, let me see it in detail as it is here. So
[00:12:05] the Turkish Foreign Minister said we absolutely do not accept the
[00:12:09] militarization of the islands, our armed forces are in a
[00:12:12] extremely sensitive situation, as is the coast guard,
[00:12:16] we hope that no one will proceed with any reckless
[00:12:19] action, it doesn't mean, he says, that we don't take existing
[00:12:22] threats seriously, our position is clear. Until
[00:12:26] the issues in the Aegean are resolved, meaning the issue of the continental shelf, and our
[00:12:30] position is clear on this, we are not in favor of
[00:12:33] creating tension, the region needs peace, not
[00:12:37] armaments, we have said this many times, war is not to
[00:12:40] anyone's benefit, the essential thing is peace, however,
[00:12:44] if and when necessary, our position is
[00:12:47] known to all, threats continue, as
[00:12:51] we see it
[00:12:53] positioned. The issue by both Gyular and Fidan
[00:12:57] and we have ahead of us, let's not forget, the story with the cable in Kassos, the
[00:13:01] electrical interconnection of Greece, Cyprus,
[00:13:04] Israel, and there is genuinely a concern
[00:13:07] about what Turkey's stance will be and how it will continue when these
[00:13:11] works begin. Now we have serious developments, ladies and
[00:13:15] gentlemen, in the United States, very serious developments on a number
[00:13:18] of issues, such as first and foremost the
[00:13:22] fact that he was forced to return urgently. To the White
[00:13:25] House, Mr. Trump and Michalis Ignatiou are with us to
[00:13:29] tell us why. Good morning my Michalis.
[00:13:32] Good morning Fae.
[00:13:35] It was sudden, of course, because the President was supposed to return on Sunday
[00:13:39] evening from Camp
[00:13:41] David. Where according to information, he went to
[00:13:45] decide with his associates what to do about the
[00:13:48] Houthi issue. The American presidency did not give
[00:13:52] explanations for the premature return of the President.
[00:13:56] You understand that rumors started as soon as
[00:14:00] it was announced and it was
[00:14:02] preceded by Saturday
[00:14:05] noon. A plane
[00:14:08] was detected
[00:14:11] near Camp David where
[00:14:14] the president was, so an
[00:14:17] f16 fighter jet intercepted the course of this
[00:14:20] aircraft because it entered prohibited airspace.
[00:14:25] As we said, near Camp David. So a very, very serious
[00:14:29] incident. It is a serious incident, but I don't think that is the
[00:14:33] reason he returned. Is it again from the Houthi attack in Saudi Arabia?
[00:14:37] Yes, we believe it is, because shortly
[00:14:40] before, the State Department issued a travel warning
[00:14:44] for the entire Middle East, for the entire Middle East. It called on
[00:14:48] American citizens who are within the
[00:14:51] region, to seriously reconsider the possibility of their travel.
[00:14:56] outside this region, meaning it asked American citizens
[00:15:00] to leave the specific countries
[00:15:04] of the Middle East and I see, Michalis, that they also informed
[00:15:08] and warned about possible flight cancellations, airspace
[00:15:11] closures, wider disruptions in air travel, so there is
[00:15:15] again a very serious issue after the attacks
[00:15:19] by the Houthis in Yemen, in Saudi Arabia.
[00:15:22] So, as we said, there are various. One
[00:15:26] hypothesis is that the president is considering
[00:15:29] striking to help Saudi Arabia,
[00:15:32] uh, because the Houthis on Saturday managed to
[00:15:35] strike even at...
[00:15:39] very close to Riyadh airport.
[00:15:41] Uh, the big problem is that the
[00:15:45] kingdom, one of the richest countries in the world, perhaps the
[00:15:49] richest, had not bothered to have
[00:15:52] air defense, to have obviously offensive
[00:15:56] fighters. Uh Turkey and Pakistan who
[00:16:00] promised to provide strategic assistance, uh
[00:16:03] somewhat forgot about it. There is only the...
[00:16:08] as you understand, but it alone cannot, it
[00:16:12] cannot confront this attack. No, it cannot, it is
[00:16:15] almost, it is almost almost impossible,
[00:16:18] because the Houthis are launching ballistic missiles,
[00:16:22] and who gave them the ballistic missiles? Iran, of course.
[00:16:25] Uh, meanwhile, there is also a rumor
[00:16:29] that Iran has given an advanced
[00:16:33] proposal for negotiations to begin
[00:16:37] from...
[00:16:51] We also saw the footage that Fox showed with Donald
[00:16:54] Trump's return that you described, very, very
[00:16:57] troubled, undoubtedly he seemed from then
[00:17:00] on there is also the problem of the
[00:17:03] huge argument that started with the.
[00:17:09] But Michalis, do we have the shots now? If Katerina Vachla can help us see them. I saw you yesterday, all alone in the
[00:17:13] room. I saw outside all the scenes that are there, the space
[00:17:17] now, you know it better, as a journalist. Here
[00:17:20] someone, yes, all this is
[00:17:23] exactly outside the White House press briefing
[00:17:26] room. The space where
[00:17:30] everything happens. All alone, yes.
[00:17:33] Yes, that's where it happens.
[00:17:37] Live, as you understand.
[00:17:40] Uh, it was forbidden, it was forbidden for CNN
[00:17:44] journalists, uh, Politico and
[00:17:47] MS, the television network, MSNBC, because the
[00:17:50] President believes that
[00:17:54] he supports, the President claims,
[00:17:56] that they constantly broadcast lies about him, about his
[00:18:00] presidency and so on. Uh, of course, this is not a reason to
[00:18:03] be now, so, so powerful.
[00:18:16] To 500 journalists, uh
[00:18:19] various justifications have been presented,
[00:18:22] uh one of the justifications is
[00:18:26] that they don't often come to the White House. The truth is, Fae, that we have to
[00:18:30] go at least four times a
[00:18:33] week.
[00:18:35] Uh, well, we go much more often. But you're there every day, we're not
[00:18:39] discussing it. You and Niki Georgatou are there every day. The point
[00:18:43] is that the president was given the opportunity to cut off a lot
[00:18:46] of people. Efforts are being made by journalistic
[00:18:50] associations to stop this
[00:18:53] situation, but the president is enraged. The
[00:18:57] image is terrifying, anyway. The image where you're all alone in the
[00:19:00] briefing room,
[00:19:02] all alone, cold, nothing and outside in the broadcasting
[00:19:06] areas of the report.
[00:19:12] The reason, look, the reason we went was more for solidarity
[00:19:16] with our colleagues who were outside the
[00:19:19] White House. I decided to also take a look inside to see
[00:19:23] what was happening and the truth is what you see, I was alone,
[00:19:27] so, of course, I didn't stay for long, just a few
[00:19:30] minutes, yes, because, because
[00:19:34] outside there were the CNN journalists,
[00:19:40] who were, are, are our
[00:19:43] colleagues, we saw them every day as
[00:19:45] you understand.
[00:19:48] Yes, it's terrible. Let's say that a
[00:19:51] big trial will start for this story. The
[00:19:55] media have asked
[00:19:58] judges in the capital, in the American
[00:20:01] capital, to take a stand. We believe that
[00:20:04] they will take a stand in favor of the journalists. Uh,
[00:20:07] related actions have also been taken. Yes, we hope, Fae, that this will
[00:20:11] change, because at the end of the day, we also have to
[00:20:15] decide what to do, it cannot be our
[00:20:18] colleagues, there must be a reaction, this stance cannot be accepted. You say from it that they cannot
[00:20:21] be outside and we inside, this cannot happen, either all inside or
[00:20:25] all outside, that's how it is, Michalis, we'll talk
[00:20:29] again, thank you for the prompt, for the full report, good morning,
[00:20:33] good morning. So, you see what is happening now. After the Houthi attack, ladies
[00:20:36] and gentlemen, in a global
[00:20:39] extreme situation regarding fuels, you will
[00:20:42] see it in a while, we have it here in the daily economic news that says expensive
[00:20:46] energy. The markets see it in
[00:20:50] spring, we were here yesterday talking to all our
[00:20:53] guests, we will talk about it today. What is happening is truly
[00:20:57] outrageous in most countries of the world, the price of fuel has almost
[00:21:00] doubled. You see what is happening here in Greece, where we are
[00:21:04] also awaiting government interventions. If this
[00:21:07] intensity continues, if installations are being hit, how much
[00:21:10] higher will fuel prices go and what will happen?
[00:21:14] Now, this is exactly what we will talk about with Ignati
[00:21:17] Vasilis, a business owner in New York. I am very happy to
[00:21:20] see him, we haven't talked in a while. A Mytilenean in New
[00:21:24] York. Good morning Ignati, how are you? Good morning.
[00:21:28] I'm fine, how are you, my Fae? I'm great.
[00:21:31] Recording the current events and what's happening now, it causes
[00:21:35] me some concern, because we are waiting to see some good news to
[00:21:39] calm down this whole situation, instead we see that it is escalating and
[00:21:43] being fueled, and that is why we came to find you, Ignati. We also see the
[00:21:47] beautiful shots here of the products, to give us a little bit of it. To
[00:21:50] you, you are a Greek who trades
[00:21:54] Greek products in New York, you are involved in this
[00:21:58] business, how is the
[00:22:00] situation? Oh, look, Fae,
[00:22:04] lately, there are many
[00:22:06] ups and downs. As
[00:22:08] I was seeing, around 10,
[00:22:12] 10-12 years that I've been in America, when I first came
[00:22:16] here, gasoline or diesel, let's say, was.
[00:22:28] And if you put premium, that is 100 octane,
[00:22:32] 5.5, in fact, that is, from
[00:22:35] last year we have taken
[00:22:39] about 1.30 per
[00:22:42] gallon, we are still at the low end, not
[00:22:45] like you who are almost there, I
[00:22:48] was on the island before.
[00:22:54] If you compare now the island of Lesvos with America, where, let's be honest, the salaries are completely different and the lowest
[00:22:57] salary is much higher than the lowest in
[00:23:01] Greece, how is this comparison, how do you see things and how
[00:23:04] do people react there? The less privileged in
[00:23:08] America are also under a lot of pressure, how are things?
[00:23:11] Uh, I'll tell you. When
[00:23:15] someone, let's say, an unskilled
[00:23:17] worker, who
[00:23:20] works, not even 10 years in a factory
[00:23:24] here, yes, their salary does not fall below
[00:23:27] 1,500 a week.
[00:23:30] So when you consider that we have 4.5 weeks a
[00:23:33] month, it's 6-7, okay. The
[00:23:36] rent is very high. How much is the rent approximately there for such a
[00:23:40] worker? How much does he pay for housing? I don't
[00:23:43] think it's below 1,500 a month. And still,
[00:23:46] however, and still, the problem.
[00:23:50] The thing is that here in
[00:23:52] America, it gives you more money.
[00:23:55] It's up to you if you want to save
[00:23:59] more money, while in Greece, when you get
[00:24:02] 500-100
[00:24:05] how much can you save and how much can you pay for rent and stretch it, Ignati, no matter how much
[00:24:08] you try, no matter how much you save, it doesn't work out. It's
[00:24:11] a specific low amount. What's happening
[00:24:15] now there, as you describe it to us, because we see it, let me explain to
[00:24:18] our viewers the footage with Greek
[00:24:21] yogurt, what exactly do you do there, how
[00:24:25] do you travel to Greece through its products and if this
[00:24:28] expensiveness has affected you in getting the products from Greece and having them in New
[00:24:31] York? Look, with what's happening, as
[00:24:35] you know I'm from Mytilini, with what's happening with
[00:24:39] the, with the sheep, with the disease and the rest, it's
[00:24:42] like, okay, dramatic situations. The aphrodisiac
[00:24:46] piretos, as well as my family's animals, they
[00:24:50] slaughtered them.
[00:24:52] I still can't understand it, that prices have gone
[00:24:55] through the roof, for sure. Even in the containers we
[00:24:59] bring, we haven't seen huge, that is, after
[00:25:01] the coronavirus we had a considerable drop, now
[00:25:05] I don't see, that is, with oil it will surely go up,
[00:25:08] but now if we talk about feta, which is what
[00:25:12] we do primarily, okay, feta will be
[00:25:16] €10 a kilo next year, it's
[00:25:19] a given. And let me tell you, for me, I hope
[00:25:23] it goes to 15 in America, because,
[00:25:26] why do we pay €30 for Parmesan? Yes,
[00:25:30] it's a premium product,
[00:25:33] uh, so, special, so someone who wants it, especially in a country with other
[00:25:37] types of prices and values, can pay for it.
[00:25:41] So, we'll see, Ignati, thank you for this, we'll see,
[00:26:05] is the nightmare with electronic devices. Experts have told us to be careful.
[00:26:08] on a flight here someone wasn't careful and we had a problem, we had a
[00:26:12] big problem. I have to tell you, you should know, this is the main
[00:26:16] argument with my father because on every flight, because I always have a power bank with me,
[00:26:20] he's scared, yes and we're on every flight.
[00:26:23] Here we will see the footage from the KLM company, a
[00:26:27] power bank. A power bank
[00:26:30] exploded, it just exploded now. And
[00:26:33] we had a problem. The flight, while it was supposed to
[00:26:36] transport passengers to Curaçao, they returned to
[00:26:39] Amsterdam and there was great commotion. We also see the
[00:26:43] footage now. We've talked about this before. Look, here
[00:26:47] we're talking about it actually catching fire. It's very dangerous. We've
[00:26:50] discussed this topic with experts. This is
[00:26:53] an example, or is it an example? Okay, I was scared.
[00:26:56] I thought something like this happened inside. It's an example. We have discussed with
[00:26:59] experts and they have told us that many times there are
[00:27:04] products that have low-quality components, if they are overcharged,
[00:27:07] they can cause something like this, but generally, I don't know, with all these electronic devices on
[00:27:10] flights, you need a little caution. Dad is a little right. However, these specific ones,
[00:27:13] because I had asked about this specifically, are allowed. And
[00:27:17] yes, you are allowed to have them with
[00:28:07] reactions because Fredi Beleri, good morning, Iro. Good morning.
[00:28:11] Good morning. He made some statements about Ilias Kassidiaris,
[00:28:14] who was released from prison. Statements which, of course, caused
[00:28:18] reactions and then he rushed to retract them. Let's go, tell us exactly. Let's remember his
[00:28:21] statements a little bit in an interview he gave. So, when asked to comment on
[00:28:25] Kassidiaris' release, he said that he is one of the few Greeks who...
[00:28:28] served his entire sentence and considered this positive,
[00:28:32] while also acknowledging his right to return to the political
[00:28:35] scene. Of course, political reactions immediately followed. We also had the statement
[00:28:39] from PASOK, which called on the government spokesperson to comment
[00:28:43] on it and to condemn the relevant statements. So, Mr.
[00:28:47] Beleris made a post,
[00:28:50] retracted what he said, said that the comment was misguided and
[00:28:54] nevertheless, as he characteristically mentioned, PASOK isolated only one
[00:28:58] part of it. and that he didn't mean exactly that and that he has no
[00:29:01] connection with Ilias Kassidiaris. Of course, the damage was done
[00:29:05] because it was considered that he supports a person who is convicted, let's
[00:29:08] remember, for leading a criminal organization. What business did he
[00:29:12] have saying that he is the only one who served his entire sentence and what to do with him and since
[00:29:15] he is convicted
[00:29:18] for some crime, for
[00:29:21] criminal offenses, for what reason should we acknowledge the fact that
[00:29:24] he served his sentence? It's the obvious. Anyone who commits a
[00:29:27] crime, commits an offense, should serve their sentence. All wrong,
[00:29:31] all wrong. We also had an interview with Mr. Tsipras yesterday in a Belgian
[00:29:35] newspaper, where he said that he is ready to take over the
[00:29:38] premiership again. Exactly, he said that he is ready to govern, because
[00:29:42] as he characteristically mentioned, he knows the job, because he has
[00:29:45] done it before. Apart from that, he also severely criticized
[00:29:48] Kyriakos Mitsotakis, saying that since
[00:29:51] 2019, the standard of living of Greeks has significantly decreased,
[00:29:55] while he claimed that during his own
[00:29:59] days, the standard of living of Greeks
[00:30:01] improved. He characteristically said that during Kyriakos
[00:30:05] Mitsotakis' term, we had, we still have Bulgarian wages,
[00:30:09] French prices and Chinese
[00:30:12] working conditions, while he emphasized once again that we need to change our
[00:30:16] production model and for this, he said that there should be an investment fund for productive
[00:30:20] reconstruction amounting to 25 billion. Let's
[00:30:24] see how much of what Mr. Tsipras says, as well as the other parties, will be
[00:30:27] accepted by the people to whom
[00:30:31] they said it.
[00:30:48] Whether they said it or not in Thessaloniki, nobody cared, and
[00:30:52] yesterday, Iro, I was surprised that the gentleman from Mr. Tsipras' party was
[00:30:55] a guest on our show and he showed us the application. We also have it to show. It
[00:30:59] has been asked many times in Mr. Tsipras' party
[00:31:03] about what's happening with the money, where the money for the events they are holding is.
