‘Stop the slaughter in Gaza’...
EDITORIAL

Wiped off the map, again Greece vanished from the map once again. If the unionists of the Bank of Greece pull the plug again today, the country will spend a third day in the black hole, a country with closed borders. Greece will pay a heavy price for the unbearable lightness demonstrated by those who behave as if the country belongs to them.

COMMENTARY

Put some pressure on us, please We like it when others put pressure on us - we almost get a kick out of it. It's hard to see why a country like Greece, a member of some of the world's most-coveted groups and alliances, still enjoys playing the victim. Recent local media reports are rife with talk of a US and NATO diplomatic war against Greece over the Macedonia name dispute.
