EDITORIAL
Old system dies, but few will miss it
Greece's housing reconstruction has been largely based on what is better known here as antiparochi, a system whereby people concede old properties in exchange for newly built apartments. That has long served as a smart way to meet people's short-term accommodation needs but it has proved disastrous for the country's urban environment.
COMMENTARY
Legislative anarchy
From time to time we have all heard the saying that what the state needs in order to function smoothly and to serve the populace properly is not new laws but just one that would force the government, judiciary and state services to implement existing ones. People are bitterly reminded of the truth of this saying on a daily basis as they watch while those who have committed offenses against their fellow citizens, who systematically break all laws on public order, traffic regulations and even more serious crimes - from petty theft to violence, tax evasion and illegal labor - go unpunished.
