EDITORIAL

Full disclosure imperative The ongoing probe into the Siemens bribery scandal must proceed without any further delay. The probe focuses on allegations that the German electronics and engineering giant deposited millions of euros into the accounts of Greek politicians and organized parties in exchange for lucrative telecom and other state contracts. Above all, the bribery case must be fully resolved and leave no shadow of doubt whatsoever.

COMMENTARY

Where are the traffic police? I have often wondered what precisely the traffic police do in Athens, for the state of a country's roads are often a good indication of its future course. And looking at the roads of Greece and Athens in particular gives many the feeling that we are slipping to Third World status. Where does one begin? From the fact that cars are parked along both sides of Academias Street all day and all night? From the cars parked on the sidewalks of Vassilissis Sofias Avenue - a phenomenon one would never see in any other European country?
