EDITORIAL

Revealing the fiscal deficits Reading the revelations about the state of Greece's finances, it is hard to believe one's eyes. One wonders how it is possible that the government was able to conceal public expenditure, and it increases skepticism over future prognostications about the country's public finances.

COMMENTARY

The attack serves the government's aim of ideologically transforming Greek society by subordinating the elements that help define the nation itself.
