EDITORIAL

No more violence at universities The public has been shocked by the incidents of violence seen last week at universities. The behavior of certain extreme, anti-democratic elements has outraged the overwhelming majority of Greeks, who watched public property being destroyed and the dream of quality education for their children being throttled by a handful of people. There are those who believe that the reaction to these outbreaks of violence will help to arouse healthy and dynamic groups within the university establishment.

COMMENTARY

Blame it all on the euro Whenever I hear the argument that the euro has made things expensive in Greece, I feel that someone is again trying to trick the public and muddle the debate. France and Germany are also in the eurozone but a cup of coffee in Paris and Berlin is cheaper than in Athens. As the figures show, this also applies to many other products, whether they be basic or luxury items. So it is not just the monetary unit that is to blame for the high costs but other factors as well - economic, social and psychological.
