[00:03:21] midterm elections in America, and that's how we'll start,
[00:03:24] because we have a new era in American power, which
[00:03:28] seems to have first stormed the castles of the new Republicans, and now the
[00:03:31] diverse figures will compete for the identity of the
[00:03:34] Democratic party, with their eyes naturally set on the presidential elections of
[00:03:38] 2028. Now, from the construction site of the new
[00:03:41] hall of the White House, at the construction sites of the new
[00:03:44] ballroom in the White House, this is the point Trump chose to
[00:03:48] address journalists, to make his first
[00:03:52] words, and he proceeded with these statements at a time when the
[00:03:56] Republicans are counting their losses. In the midterm elections, they have lost control of the
[00:03:59] Congress, something that makes Trump at this moment almost legislatively
[00:04:03] paralyzed, meaning he will have a "no", someone saying "no" to him
[00:04:07] at this moment. What did Trump say then? Instead of focusing on the defeat of
[00:04:10] his party, he chose initially to defend the construction of the new
[00:04:14] ballroom, which he described as unique, yes,
[00:04:17] it's his work, yes, he has bet on this, it's the work he will leave
[00:04:21] behind, he will say that as president I left this great ballroom, very
[00:04:25] nice, just the... it's the first phrase he said after the results
[00:04:28] of the midterm elections, his defeat, so that comment really impressed
[00:04:32] me, I kept that, but what Niko and I were discussing before we came out
[00:04:36] is his other comment, that he recognized that the war in
[00:04:39] Iran played a role in the Republicans' defeat, but what did he
[00:04:43] say, what did he argue? That the decision for the US involvement was necessary,
[00:04:47] it was worth the trouble and he would do it again, yes,
[00:04:51] alright, however, I hear yesterday and in the report, gradually, that there are
[00:04:54] seconds. That's what I wanted to tell Michalis, we'll see him
[00:04:57] later today, that if Trump, who says he
[00:05:12] doesn't disclaim responsibility and it's not our defeat, then why did he
[00:05:16] set up victory celebrations, then why did he put tables in the White House,
[00:05:19] was it a random Wednesday when everyone was
[00:05:23] eating together, he was waiting to win, he bet that the polls would be wrong again,
[00:05:26] so don't disclaim the defeat afterwards, it's that in the good times, yes, in the
[00:05:29] bad times, however, now the constitutional balance is interesting,
[00:05:33] because one will say no, the other yes, where will they find it? The proposal
[00:05:36] will be valid and will pass, very difficult, it's
[00:05:39] interesting, so, let's go to our own matters here, because
[00:05:43] yesterday, relatively our own matters that concern us, the Commission sent
[00:05:47] a, issued a formal
[00:05:50] report on the accession process of
[00:05:54] Ankara to the Union, so it characterized the Turkish-Libyan
[00:05:57] memorandum as null and void, this was the
[00:06:00] Commission's opinion, officially that is, it
[00:06:03] reiterates that this agreement violates. Greece
[00:06:07] emphasized the continued obstruction by
[00:06:10] Turkey of the electrical
[00:06:15] interconnection project between Greece and Cyprus, which is very important because it is a European project, these are two
[00:06:18] European countries that will be connected
[00:06:21] and said that Turkey's positions on
[00:06:25] the Turkish-Libyan memorandum are unfounded, and Turkey even responded
[00:06:28] to this, saying that Europe supports
[00:06:32] Greece's maximalist positions. We also had the letter
[00:06:35] to the UN, which was now delivered to the UN Secretary-General.
[00:06:38] Greece emphasizes in a written letter that the illegal Turkish-Libyan
[00:06:42] memorandum completely ignores the existence of Greek islands, we see the
[00:06:45] maps, it's a unanimous condemnation, but now it's also officially
[00:06:49] in statements, meaning written statements, official ones that
[00:06:51] Ankara likes, just like Turkey used to say "do it, but just inform us in writing first,
[00:06:54] then inform us", in writing, in writing here, so,
[00:06:58] let's go now. the size, when it became known,
[00:07:01] we were really scared because we had serious incidents in Zografou,
[00:07:05] about 50 hooded figures stormed a student
[00:07:09] assembly, attacked with batons and crowbars,
[00:07:17] threw Molotov cocktails, an
[00:07:20] 18-year-old student, kids, caught
[00:07:24] fire, suffered serious burns, while two
[00:07:28] others were injured, a murderous invasion, according to his own words. And how, how can you not
[00:07:31] speak about such a thing, we repeat, three injured, kids, they entered with
[00:07:34] axes, with Molotov cocktails, with crowbars, ah,
[00:07:37] I mean, okay, that's not how you make your
[00:07:40] revolution, that's not how you make your statement,
[00:07:43] by injuring fellow students, I don't know if the
[00:07:46] hooded figures were students,
[00:07:49] but I mean, how do you do that by entering, harming young people who are studying
[00:07:52] there, you don't make a revolution that way, that's not a revolution, and
[00:07:55] especially in a discussion now among students, no,
[00:07:59] no, no. You know you'll have problems there, you go to cause
[00:08:02] incidents, you go to cause harm, it's not possible.
[00:08:05] Yes, so, also in our politics, because it seems that the
[00:08:09] big dispute over corruption continues, at high tones, the thermometer
[00:08:11] rose yesterday with the announcement made by the Greek Left in the party, it spoke of
[00:08:15] "barking", now this term is not very
[00:08:18] appropriate, you want to claim a central
[00:08:22] role, you want to do a rebranding, as
[00:08:26] Hellas did, as Alexis Tsipras did, the word "barking".
[00:08:29] is not very appropriate, okay, in, in, in an official statement at least,
[00:08:32] we haven't seen it before, so, okay, you understand that it refers to specific
[00:08:35] people, they have lost the pop, what is official and what is unofficial
[00:08:38] in general, meaning what we were saying, that from
[00:08:42] their extensive exposure to television, with appearances, with
[00:08:46] social media and all that, they have lost where the private Niko
[00:08:49] ends and the politician Niko begins, you understand, okay, however,
[00:08:53] all this comes and the case file sent by
[00:08:56] Kyriakos Velopoulos arrived in Parliament yesterday. other parties, we'll see, because
[00:08:59] we'll probably have more fuel to the fire of confrontation, yes, that's
[00:09:03] how it looks, so, let's start with the topic of the day, because one of the
[00:09:06] main topics of the day is the American elections, it's the next
[00:09:09] day, it's the new era in American power,
[00:09:20] what happened, first the castles of the Republicans crumbled and now these
[00:09:24] diverse figures we were talking about, because we also have some important firsts,
[00:09:27] as we said, the first black woman in Georgia,
[00:09:31] the first openly gay man, there are many, many, many
[00:09:34] things, also Greeks, Greek diaspora who entered
[00:09:38] like this, we repeat that the official White House Facebook account made a
[00:09:42] critical comment which addresses the result of the midterm
[00:09:46] elections and at this moment the figures who will compete for the
[00:09:50] identity of the Democratic party naturally have their eyes set, as does all of
[00:09:54] America, on the presidential elections of 28.
[00:09:57] We just took back Texas.
[00:10:00] and the man who brought down the Republican castle 38
[00:10:04] whole years later, was born just 12 months
[00:10:08] later. The first Muslim senator
[00:10:11] is a fact, he is
[00:10:19] Abdi, and he holds
[00:10:20] Michigan for the Democrats.
[00:11:25] Historic upset in Kansas, the Democrats elect for the first time
[00:11:29] in 94 years a senator, it is
[00:11:32] Pastor Adam
[00:11:38] Hamilton. And as Donald Trump licks his
[00:11:40] wounds, one state after another continues to fall into the hands of the
[00:11:43] Democrats, with Iowa
[00:11:50] locking in the final result in the
[00:11:54] Senate. The red dominance is broken, the Democratic
[00:11:58] victory in Congress will change
[00:11:59] the last two years of
[00:12:07] Trump's presidential term, the Americans with their vote reminded
[00:12:11] him that he is now politically mortal.
[00:12:15] North Carolina. South Carolina.
[00:12:17] Ohio.
[00:12:21] It was a walk in the park for the Democratic camp and
[00:12:25] Georgia. Americans voted and
[00:12:28] punished Donald. And now everyone is waiting for the
[00:12:32] next day that dawns in the
[00:12:33] United States of
[00:12:39] America. So, let's go to what
[00:12:43] Niko was saying earlier about the many
[00:12:46] diaspora Greeks, we are proud of this. The reports started, you know,
[00:12:49] they went to Elassona,
[00:12:52] to the birthplace of Chris Papas, who is the most indicative, let's say,
[00:12:55] election. Senator after 13 years, if I'm not mistaken.
[00:12:58] A Greek. Okay, in a big
[00:13:00] state in America. It's
[00:13:03] very honorable, I think. Okay, yes, he has a round.
[00:13:06] writing history.
[00:13:09] 46-year-old Chris Pappas is the first Greek-American to be elected to the
[00:13:13] Senate after 14 years, as well as the first openly
[00:13:16] gay man in the history of the body.
[00:13:20] Pappas is one of the most active expatriates in promoting Greek
[00:13:23] issues, and in his hometown of
[00:13:38] Livadi Elassonas, only
[00:13:38] pride prevails.
[00:13:44] emotion because he is a Livadiotis in the
[00:13:48] US Senate. A significant victory for the diaspora
[00:13:52] in Florida. The 63-year-old MP of
[00:14:02] and Jimmy Patronis strengthening in Congress the block that opposes
[00:14:06] the sale of military equipment to Turkey. Nicole
[00:14:09] Malliotakis, the 45-year-old Republican, secured her fourth
[00:14:12] consecutive term in the House of Representatives in New
[00:14:15] York. She is of
[00:14:17] Cretan origin and strongly supports Greece's national issues in Congress,
[00:14:20] taking a stand on Greek-Turkish
[00:14:23] relations and the sale of
[00:14:42] F-35s to Turkey. For her 9th term,
[00:14:45] 76-year-old Democratic MP Dina Titus was re-elected in
[00:14:48] Nevada, while 40-year-old Democratic MP Maggie
[00:14:52] Hassan retained her seat in New Hampshire. At the same time, Democrat
[00:14:55] Alexi Giannoulias, by securing 64.5% of the
[00:14:58] votes, secured a new four-year term in Illinois.
[00:15:02] You understand, so we also have a personal interest now,
[00:15:04] in American
[00:15:07] politics. So, let's go now to what Niko was saying earlier, it really
[00:15:11] is the annual report of the Commission, it is a. it is a slap in the face for Ankara,
[00:15:14] I would characterize it as such, we will see, we will also see Manolis Kostidis officially later, it is
[00:15:18] now written, as they say, and what is written remains, we will say
[00:15:21] good morning to Eirini Kavasiadi, hello Eirini, good morning,
[00:15:26] and we had a strong reaction from Ankara to the null and
[00:15:29] void and illegal Turkish-Libyan memorandum, precisely,
[00:15:33] as you said, in the annual report of the Commission,
[00:15:37] three yellow cards are given to Turkey on three key issues,
[00:15:40] firstly, the Turkish-Libyan memorandum which has been ratified by the Parliament of
[00:15:51] third countries and does not comply with the law of the sea, on the
[00:15:54] other hand, it records Turkey's casus belli, that is, the
[00:15:58] threats of war, having openly violated
[00:16:01] the airspace and territorial waters of Greece, especially this year,
[00:16:05] more so than last
[00:16:07] year, and it also records the electrical interconnection between
[00:16:11] Greece and Cyprus, in which the Commission has invested
[00:16:15] a lot of money in the energy sector
[00:16:18] and which Turkey is obstructing by creating
[00:16:21] obstacles. On its part, Greece also
[00:16:24] sent a letter to the UN regarding
[00:16:27] the Turkish-Libyan memorandum, let's say at this point.
[00:16:31] So, Greece has made moves in all diplomatic fields regarding
[00:16:35] this issue. Which also started from the Prime Minister, who for
[00:16:38] the first time did what he did. the tactical logic of Greek
[00:16:41] politics, but he did it, we saw it, so maybe it started from there
[00:16:45] as well, it was the beginning, it was the beginning, of course, well, it's
[00:16:48] a strong diplomatic effort in all forums, Greece
[00:16:50] takes advantage of the platform it has, okay, and now especially for the cable, now the
[00:16:54] Commission, which made a special reference and funded it, as Irene said, and it is to
[00:16:57] start very soon, so we are
[00:17:00] ready. Let's also see the reaction of Ankara, because it was
[00:17:03] immediate and it was harsh, exactly, it
[00:17:13] rejects all these
[00:17:16] elements of the report, it
[00:17:20] states that these claims are unfounded,
[00:17:23] that the positions are illegal and maximalist, and that
[00:17:27] Europe has double standards on this issue.
[00:17:31] Now, let's also mention that the Commission,
[00:17:34] in its other report, also refers to
[00:17:38] North Macedonia, so,
[00:17:42] which was released today, which states that government members and
[00:17:45] senior officials sometimes disregard the Prespes Agreement,
[00:17:48] avoiding the use of the constitutional name of the country, North
[00:17:52] Macedonia, so let's keep that in mind, and that they warn that this
[00:17:55] practice, we read, will affect good neighborly relations, obviously
[00:17:59] this, okay, this is. the logical and
[00:18:03] next step, we keep it, Niko is right about that, these were objections
[00:18:07] that were heard when the Prespes Agreement came about, okay, however, it is
[00:18:09] a crucial factor for North Macedonia to join the
[00:18:13] European Union, and Eirini, thank you very much, good morning,
[00:18:17] hello, my Eirini, good morning, so,
[00:18:20] we are on time, otherwise we won't even go, we are very much on time, we are very well
[00:18:24] on time, we will say good morning to Sky radio,
[00:18:27] to the listeners of Sky 100.3, to our good colleague
[00:18:30] Dimitris Gianiris who. never mind, I was talking to Lena Flizani, so
[00:18:34] we had a good distribution, because kids, alright, you understand, hello
[00:18:38] Dimitris, we are good, we are good, how are
[00:18:42] you? We were fine here, we were presenting
[00:19:57] such announcements with phrases like "shut up" or "stop
[00:20:01] barking" and all that, it's the first time then that we see such
[00:20:04] announcements, such an announcement which obviously does not do anyone any good
[00:20:07] here, we also have the greetings of Mr. Economou as he comes
[00:20:11] into the studio, so then.
[00:20:14] I believe that
[00:20:17] we can answer as the manifesto, the newspaper, answers
[00:20:21] today, reminding and coming back a little earlier, Thursdays,
[00:20:24] because you remember, on Thursdays the new movies come out in the
[00:20:28] cinemas, Mr. Tsipras tells us today is titled "Look Who's
[00:20:31] Talking", so this could have
[00:20:35] been the movie that we could have said, or the
[00:20:39] one that says, let me ask you something, your opinion, I mean, purely your opinion, I want
[00:20:42] this, do you believe.
[00:20:51] presence on social media, in videos, on TikTok,
[00:20:55] on television, continuously on radio, have they lost
[00:20:57] somewhere where their speech begins as Alexi, let's say, and as
[00:21:01] Tsipras as a politician, meaning they no longer know
[00:21:04] or Mr. Adonis, let's say, Georgiadis, yes, that they have lost their formality,
[00:21:08] it's something, yes, obviously, obviously,
[00:21:11] in everyday life and in this.
[00:21:15] I'm not saying they shouldn't talk, I'm not saying they shouldn't express themselves,
[00:21:19] the point is that there should be, they have
[00:21:22] lost where they speak in their capacity as politicians,
[00:21:26] obviously the pressure they receive, the pressure
[00:21:30] of the audience that exists, which I don't
[00:21:33] know, we train it anyway, it's also a problem, how we train our
[00:21:37] audience, on the other hand, however, you see
[00:21:40] that Mr. and the...
[00:21:44] to take off your hat or to be Mr. Son, the only Mr. and whatever else
[00:21:47] Madam, again also the politically correct, if
[00:21:51] you want us to say it in Greek, again you see that you have from the other side, from
[00:21:55] any side, unfortunately, there is this,
[00:21:58] shall we say, I dare to say all these things, so announcements and such
[00:22:00] things rather resemble Trumpism and all these things that Trump does,
[00:22:04] I mean, there was no way another party that, I'm saying, has
[00:22:07] governed, to issue an official announcement "shut up" to an
[00:22:11] elected government. To say "shut up", however it is, however, everyone needs
[00:22:14] great caution before speaking, before writing, before making
[00:22:18] a video, to perhaps think twice
[00:22:22] before speaking, and then whatever their mind tells them to say and to
[00:22:25] reply or write anything else, and we have a very, very
[00:22:29] long way to go. Well, yes, but
[00:22:32] especially written statements, like this particular one, have been worked on, because
[00:22:36] in spoken language something might slip out, it's not
[00:22:40] right, but you can retract it, and still it will remain, even
[00:22:44] spoken now. something else, you can say a word too many, let's
[00:22:47] accept it in a context which one can accept that
[00:22:50] something can indeed be said, on the other hand, it is still not
[00:22:54] justified, but on the other hand, something official which you
[00:22:57] write and reread to see if it is correct, if it has the commas and all that, and
[00:23:01] you tell the press office of Hellas "send this",
[00:23:04] so it has a very big impact. a very big result, and it produces
[00:23:08] results, and it produces and produces an example
[00:23:12] for others and for young people, but also for younger people who say "why should we
[00:23:15] bother with all these, let's go to the internet and Instagram and
[00:23:18] TikTok and leave everything
[00:23:28] else". Yes, no, it's this, I think this is the most important thing of all that Dimitris
[00:23:32] says, because every time we see in the polls people who don't go to vote, and basically,
[00:23:36] kids, the majority of them are young people, the young person who, where
[00:23:39] young people need to take politics into their own hands and
[00:23:43] show. It will be Mr. Mitsotakis,
[00:23:46] both as Prime Minister and as president of New Democracy for the KEDE conference, he will have
[00:23:50] a different program, it will be Mr. Androulakis there, also with
[00:23:53] everything, Mr. Androulakis with a program that also has to do with young people, he will
[00:23:57] speak with young people and everything with youth and with people who
[00:24:01] have the future ahead of them, so everyone at KEDE, because
[00:24:04] the mayors and the local government have votes and
[00:24:07] also people who should listen, and for New Democracy
[00:24:11] obviously, and for Mr. Mitsotakis, it is Mr. Samaras's prerogative, where I don't
[00:24:15] know exactly what he is doing, because I don't think things are going very well
[00:24:18] for Mr. Samaras in his hometown either, but this is
[00:24:27] something that will be confirmed if and when he forms the party, because
[00:24:30] probably, from what I don't think he can do it, but however it is,
[00:24:34] however, my personal, my personal opinion, I think he will eventually form the
[00:24:38] party, but beyond that it will become clear what exactly
[00:24:41] will happen, and obviously it has. it is important that the Prime Minister
[00:24:45] will go down to Castro, it is
[00:24:48] exactly what we have from this day, I have two very nice things for you,
[00:24:52] I have two very nice things for you today, first of all, in
[00:24:55] 1935, the Parker Brothers, I think we have all
[00:24:59] played with this, they released the
[00:25:03] Monopoly board game today, while the other negative
[00:25:07] event for our country, in 1956, a
[00:25:10] survey was published where, truly, Niko, it also matches with this. what we were talking about, and it's
[00:25:13] something we need to look at regarding social networks, and all that,
[00:25:16] it's a survey then, in 1956 it came to light, which says that
[00:25:20] two million Greeks don't know how to sign their name.
