EDITORIAL

Polluters must pay the price Greek environmental experts have proposed a Kyoto Protocol-type solution to deal with the problems dogging the environment of the Attica basin. The rationale behind the plan outlined by 64 scientists is simple: pollution from industrial activity in the region costs about 211 million euros in environmental cleanup and public health problems annually. Polluters do not pay for this, instead spreading the costs to everyone else.

COMMENTARY

Healing the rupture The yawning rift between the south and the north of the country has taken some people by surprise. Pundits and analysts have pointed the finger at Thessaloniki Prefect Panayiotis Psomiadis and Mayor Vassilis Papageorgopoulos, who are allegedly trying to polarize voters ahead of the local elections on October 15. That would be plausible if Psomiadis and Papageorgopoulos were actually lagging in the opinion polls.
