So, Mykonos is also a test-case for the Mitsotakis government. And those tourists who care (most will not) should keep in mind: Magnificent Mykonos can be a bloody and even deadly place for those wanting to preserve its beauty. More via Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung @faznet:

Το είδα να γράφεται και δεν το πίστευα. Στο δελτίο της ΕΡΤ ακούστηκε η παρακάτω φράση: "Το μόνο ευχάριστο, λοιπόν, είναι ότι δεν έχουμε θρηνήσει ανθρώπινη ζωή, πέρα από αυτούς τους ταλαίπωρους 18 ανθρώπους που έχασαν τη ζωή τους στο δάσος της Δαδιάς". #Πυρκαγια #Φωτιες #ΕΡΤ

In any single sound Democracy a Prime Minister would resign and early elections would be called in front of such a scandal: 33 targets of wiretapping by EYP secret service under direct responsibility of the PM. National security argument can no longer be used. #PredatorGate

It’s the 4th day of #IranProtests over death of #MahsaAmini, a Kurdish woman who died after being arrested for “violating” hijab laws. Many have taken to streets, there’s been a general strike, women are shaving their heads, burning headscarves in public to protest. #مهسا_امینی

Η στιγμή που η αστυνομία και η κυβέρνηση παίρνουν την πολιτική ευθύνη να διαλύσουν ανελέητα την διαδήλωση. Δεν χτυπάνε τυχαία. Είναι δολοφόνοι. Υπάρχουν δεκάδες τραυματίες αλλά ο κόσμος δεν φοβάται και προσπαθεί να διαδηλώσει. #antireport #Πανεπιστημιακή_Αστυνομία #ΑΠΘ @PRINgr

My @derspiegel colleague @g_christides is one of the most professional and dedicated journalists I have ever met. The attacks against him by the Greek government are completely unacceptable. They are an attack against press freedom as such.

Day 19 of the #US - #Russia war on #Ukrainian soil: In over dozens of wars I have covered, I have never seen so much disinformation campaign, speculation and false narratives from "experts" producing so much information with no access of any fact whatsoever of the ground.

Here's a fact you won't hear on Fox News today. Exxon, Chevron, and Conoco made $46 billion in profit in 2021. Now they're using 40% of those profits for stock buybacks. Big Oil is raking it in, raising prices, and taking advantage of the war in Ukraine to push for more drilling.
