EDITORIAL

Need for serious opposition The country has a new government with a specified agenda: In his first parliamentary address, Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis reiterated his pledge to push ahead with the requisite structural reforms at a faster pace. One can only welcome the new government measures aimed at clamping down on the illegal fuel trade and industrial pollution. The conservative administration and the prime minister personally are well aware that from now on the government is like a bicycle - it must either go forward or fall over.

COMMENTARY

The center and the void PASOK is wandering in the desert of its defeat, in search of a leader, a policy, an identity. This is both expected and necessary after an electoral defeat that highlighted all the open wounds of a party that had dominated the country's political life over the past few decades but was not expected to outlive its founder, Andreas Papandreou, when he died in 1996. PASOK ran out of steam over the last few years and did not manage (or did not try hard enough) to regain its vitality.
