fun fact: bambie got 6th place jury vote, 6th place in tele and 6th place overall… 666😭

Η Μαρίνα ήταν εξαιρετική, αξιοπρεπέστατη θέση, και με καλύτερο styling και χωρίς το μονόπλανο που δεν πέτυχε θα έμπαινε δεκάδα.

My favorites all made it to the top 10 -Switzerland, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, Armenia, Portugal, Ukraine- so I'm very happy. #Eurovision2024

Thank you, so nice to see you, NOW SHUT UP GODDAMMIT and may we receive your 12 points?

One of Greece's biggest challenges according to the recent diaNEOsis survey: its citizens' belief in meritocracy. Only 23% believe that the country will be meritocratic in the next decade.

This weird story just got weirder: Greek police is casting doubt on the reported break-in at the election director’s office of the Interior Ministry on April 26, concluding that it was most likely staged given that no incriminating evidence was found. 👇ekathimerini.com/news/1238145/e…
