Excellent piece by @gsamaras.bsky.social @jacobinmag.bsky.social on the dramatic decline of democracy, the economy and the rule of law in Greece. Greek citizens are paying the price for corruption, crime and authoritarianism. Yet @eppgroup.bsky.social shields Mitsotakis as they did Orbàn
European authorities promote Greece as a postcrisis success story.
Yet Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s right-wing government relies on spyware and the opaque use of EU subsidies — and is now overseeing a brutal cost-of-living crisis.

Europe had better come out of denial mode pdq. European leaders have consistently underestimated Trump. Even now they believe we can just sit it out and in 2028 things will go back to normal. Europe urgently needs to come to terms with the new reality and stand on its own two feet.
Q: Bannon said there's a plan for you to run and potentially win a third term.
TRUMP: Well, I haven't really thought about it. I have the best poll numbers I've ever had. I mean, I just solved 8 wars and a 9th is coming.
