Our daily rendezvous will not continue. Kontra&#8230; stop. But we will continue to talk every day on AlphaRadio 9.89, every morning 8-9, you will read me on Newpost and watch me on the Vidcast. As for TV&#8230; never say never. Maybe somewhere, sometime, we&#8217;ll meet again,&#8221; Nikos Panagiotopoulos wrote in his post.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h3>The Kotzias post<\/h3>\n<p>Note that <b>Nikos Kotzias<\/b>, former foreign minister during the Tsipras government, without naming the journalist, referred to the end of his cooperation with the station, suggesting that this happened after a phone call because, as he claims, &#8220;he asked topical questions to a lady who was not able to answer them on the substance. Now I will not tell you who called and asked for the journalist&#8217;s termination, nor who the lady is. I promise, however, to come back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And he speaks of &#8220;left-wing bubbleheads&#8221; who make sure to tarnish the image, even with fake news, of those who do not join these plans of the interconnectedness. <\/p>\n<p>Nikos Kotzias writes in his post:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was writing yesterday that the plans of the interconnection are &#8220;helped, as usual, by its biscuits, but also by a new fruit <b>&#8220;the leftist yusufakia&#8221;<\/b> which take care to tarnish the image, even with fake news, of those who do not join these plans of interference. And there they are today, the yusufs have blown their noses again. What are they telling us that I am preparing a party, that I will be a party leader, that because of me they will lose the election victory. Did they ask me if these are my intentions as a normal journalist? But what do I ask, that&#8217;s what bullshit buffoons do. But the funniest thing is that relatives and friends associated with the industry that uses the yusufakis have started making comments, dripping venom and engaging in campaigns on the news that a &#8220;yusufaki&#8221; is carrying, since he stopped feeling like a journalist and took up the mantle of being a pusher.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d say all this from the show I&#8217;m interviewed on TV tomorrow, but I&#8217;m unable to as <b>the journalist who called me was fired for asking topical questions to a lady who was unable to answer them on substance. Now I will not tell you who called and asked for the journalist to be fired, nor who the lady is. But I promise to get back to you.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Y1. My fear be with them.<\/p>\n<p>Y\u03932. Deep down, what bothered them is that I proved that the opponent is not just Mitsotakis, but the whole consensual system he has with the oligarchy. As it turns out, I annoyed them!<\/p>\n<p>W3. Finally they were annoyed because I said the obvious that <b>the Syrica didn&#8217;t lose as a government, but as an opposition.<\/b><\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The collaboration of journalist Nikos Panagiotopoulos with Kontra has come to an end.&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe end of the cooperation with the station was announced by the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-greece"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
