      "finding": "All of these match ELSTAT's release, as do the seasonally adjusted 2.0% monthly rise, the 3.1% rise for January to August and the 2.1% fall a year earlier. The sector figures are annual comparisons, not monthly ones.[S9]"

    "What extra support for fishermen the government will announce, how much it will be worth and when it will come, and whether it will be a new fishing-fuel subsidy.",
    "When the self-employed, freelancers and farmers will be able to submit applications to recognise insurance time online, rather than at e-ΕΦΚΑ branches.",
    "Whether other unions, including ΓΣΕΕ (Γενική Συνομοσπονδία Εργατών Ελλάδος, Geniki Synomospondia Ergaton Ellados), the national private-sector union confederation, will join the Athens strike on 25 November 2026, and whether public transport will be affected. We found no strike notice from a transport union when this brief was published."
