EDITORIAL

Going back on the graft pledge It is unfortunate that an amendment that extends for another three years the right of media groups not to provide paperwork for 2 percent of their income was tabled in Parliament on Thursday. It should be noted that this amount will only be taxed at a rate of 10 percent. Worse still, this decision by the conservative administration comes at a time when the Greek state is supposed to be fighting tax dodging while also looking for revenues to reduce the deficit.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

But sometimes it does not take a person being shackled, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and then «waterboarded» to feel that they are being tortured.
