The Epstein story is a touchstone as to whether a society respects the principles of equality, justice and freedom. https://t.co/wLuc59uIzZ

The arrest of King Charles’ brother is a momentous event – for Britain, for the monarchy, for the future of the West. Equality before the law, and the rule of law, are foundations of Enlightenment...

"The only thing that’s certain is that many powerful men were willing to exploit the weak (young women, in this case), for their pleasure, without shame, without fear, without punishment. "

The torrent of revelations on the activities, contacts and sexual crimes of Jeffrey Epstein is incomprehensible.

Today’s young people will take on an ever-greater burden. It is crucial that we shape political processes and economic initiatives that will draw them in and provide them with opportunities. They tell us what they want. Do we listen? https://t.co/Nk5qnyWjHa

Three recent surveys present precious information on the thoughts of Greece’s Generation Z, the critical group born a little before the turn of the century and later. These young people came of age...

Η σαρωτική νίκη του Τουφάν Ερχιουρμάν στα Κατεχόμενα εξέπληξε και τους πιο αισιόδοξους υποστηρικτές του. Ομως πολιτικοί αναλυτές υπογραμμίζουν ότι δύσκολα θα μπορούσε να εκλεγεί κάποιος κόντρα στις επιθυμίες της Αγκυρας και πως δεν πρόκειται να έρθει σε ρήξη με την Τουρκία.

Interesting points by @nkonstan in Katherimini that Trump is not an insurgency but a serious effort at regime change in which the institutions of US democracy are replaced by personalised rule
ekathimerini.com
Donald Trump and the system that surrounds him believe that they will dominate the United States forever. They do not act like members of a democracy, but as founders of a new regime.

Το μείγμα κολακείας και απειλής ήταν σαφές – εάν ο Ερντογάν δώσει όσα ζητεί ο Τραμπ, ίσως πετύχει κάτι κι αυτός. Ο σουλτάνος βρήκε τον μάστορά του. Μένει να δούμε τι θα βγει από το παζάρι. https://t.co/ehzdy5MVEE

Hταν δύσκολο να διακρίνουμε ποιος ήταν πιο «σουλτάνος» από τον άλλον. Ισως γι’ αυτό ο Ρετζέπ Ταγίπ Ερντογάν χθες είχε μια έκφραση δυσφορίας –σχεδόν παγωμένου πανικού– όσο ο Ντόναλντ Τραμπ μονολογούσε...

Trump nodded towards Erdogan, saying, “He knows about rigged elections better than anybody.” How could the master of every dirty political trick in the book not wonder whether this was high praise or a sly challenge? https://t.co/b5Q2hN52Q5

It was difficult to make out which of the two was the true sultan. Perhaps that’s why Recep Tayip Erdogan’s face was frozen in panic yesterday as Donald Trump went on about their relationship and...

It is the office of the presidency, and the United States as a whole, who are stripping off, with astonishing ease, the values, institutions and behaviors that had made the country the world’s preeminent power. https://t.co/KspTPgk1gL

@nkonstan explains how Turkey's President Erdogan is dealing with opposition by stopping them running as candidates as he seeks to be be president for eternity. Shame European UK media ignores this Putin on our eastern flank @selinbucaak @HelenaSmithGDN

On Monday, an Ankara court postponed until October 24 its ruling on whether the CHP opposition party’s conference in 2023 was conducted properly.

Xi and Putin were most likely trolling Trump. Leaking the "hot mic" dialogue was no accident. #trollingTrump

Having secured their lifelong tenure in absolute power, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, appear keen on a little extra – eternal life.

Τα επόμενα χρόνια της δεκαετίας 2020 θα δείξουν εάν η οπισθοδρόμηση είναι μια «αναμενόμενη» και σύντομη αντίδραση στην πρόοδο που το ανθρώπινο είδος πετυχαίνει εδώ και χιλιάδες χρόνια ή εάν σημαίνει το οριστικό τέλος αυτής της πορείας. https://t.co/Kv83gdBvvT

Τα τελευταία δύο-τρία χρόνια ανέτρεψαν τόσο πολλά, που η δεκαετία του 2020 θα μείνει στην Ιστορία ως σημείο καμπής, όταν η ανθρωπότητα επέστρεψε στις πρακτικές του παρελθόντος και εξετράπη από την...
