Vasileios Tsianos

I'm just gonna pin this here.

Anonymity is a core principle of the open web. This is a terrible decision by the Greek government, one tha paves the road toward authoritarianism. “Toxicity” is not an excuse for total governmental control of free speech. I hope this preposterous idea is retracted.

J’ai échangé ce matin avec Vasileios Tsianos, vice-président de @neo_materials. À Narva, l’usine de NEO est l’une des principales usines européennes de production d’aimants en terres rares, indispensables aux éoliennes et aux véhicules électriques. Cette production est stratégique et aujourd’hui utilisée comme un levier d’influence par la Chine. Nous devons réduire nos dépendance. J’étais à La Rochelle à l’usine d’aimants permanents de Solvay en décembre pour exprimer le même message. Avec le plan ReSourceEU de @steph_sejourne nous sécuriserons ces matières premières critiques, investirons dans la transformation et renforcerons notre autonomie industrielle.

Today, I appointed Chrystia Freeland @cafreeland as an Advisor on Economic Development. Chrystia is highly skilled in these matters and has extensive experience in attracting investment and implementing economic transformations. Right now, Ukraine needs to strengthen its internal resilience – both for the sake of Ukraine’s recovery if diplomacy delivers results as swiftly as possible, and to reinforce our defense if, because of delays by our partners, it takes longer to bring this war to an end. I am grateful to everyone who is ready to support our state and our engagement with partners. Glory to Ukraine!

started from the bottom, now we’re here

Happy Canada Day.

First time I remember this happening in Greece: the President of the Hellenic Parliament authorized families and kids to hide inside the Parliament as anarchists appeared and started throwing rocks and molotov cocktails right next to them during today’s protest at Syntagma Sq.

Never been more grateful to be part of the European Union.

Mark was always the funniest guy on our Laurier Heights team #4Nations

We in Europe remember that Canadians died to liberate our continent. In the face of Trump's madness, EU stands with Canada now! There is no reason why EU membership should be off the table. 🇪🇺🇨🇦

Gallium and germanium aren’t exactly household names, but they are found in products essential to modern life. With recent export restrictions from China, it may become harder for the U.S. to obtain them. grist.org/technology/gal…

Raycap. Decades of R&D commercialization, category product leader globally, expanded manufacturing footprint in 3 continents, started in Drama. Zero PR stunts and political games, zero bs, zero environmental/labor liabilities, and zero bribery or corrupt practices involvement in its history. Just substance, science, and making real stuff for critical applications. The best are the humblest.

Ποιά είναι η καλύτερη Ελληνική εταιρεία σήμερα κατά τη γνώμη σας;

Nothing echoes communism like a state-owned social media company

True when I said it, true today. “Canada is, and always has been, our country. And we want Canada to be a True North that is as strong and as free as it can be in every way that matters: the best country in the world. That’s why we’re here, that’s why we strive, that’s why we serve. Canada must reflect the true character of the Canadian people: honourable in our dealings, faithful to our commitments, loyal to our friends. By turns, a courageous warrior and a compassionate neighbour. It is our purpose that Canada must be great, it must be great for all Canadians, it must be a country of hope and an example to the world. And only when it is these things, when Canada is all that it can be, only then can we say that our work is done.”

Greek PM just announced: - All fees for basic banking transactions will be 0 - Wire transfers of up to €5,000 will have max fee cap €0.50 - Banks and servicers will pay double ENFIA tax for properties not entering the market Today is a good day for the 🇬🇷 economy.

German newspaper in awe of the positive performance of Greece’s economy and (much higher than expected) primary budget surplus expected for 2024. The world has truly come upside down. derstandard.at/story/30000002…

If you’re hearing some noise, it’s the sound of 1,000s of analysts debating to rethink Europe’s security architecture come January. Security, infrastructure, tech, climate, supply chains.

Hey Europe, time to get your sh*t together.

Reminded me of Ted Cruz's argument for cutting taxes: because the IRS Tax Code has more pages than the Bible.
