EDITORIAL

Socialists’ dangerous proposal The proposal put forward recently by socialist PASOK opposition leader George Papandreou, who has argued in favor of re-establishing a large state-owned bank, has raised a great deal of justified concern among the country's banking experts. The reason for this is that no one would want to see an institution like the National Bank of Greece fall under the control of the state and the political party in government.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

When inmates take over the asylum The concept of «university asylum» must have seemed like a good idea back in 1982, when the newly elected Socialist government of Andreas Papandreou wanted Greece to be the springboard for a Latin American-type liberation movement in Europe. PASOK was elected in 1981, seven years after the collapse of an extreme right-wing military dictatorship and eight years after a student uprising whose immediate consequences were a coup by even more rabid right-wingers.
