EDITORIAL

Picking the wrong people Endless talk of political scandals without any real hope of purging the domestic political system of corruption is jeopardizing the credibility of that system. There is no doubt that the root cause of the majority of the scandals of the type that are now making the headlines is that people of questionable ability and ethics are included on political party tickets. In some cases they are even appointed as government ministers.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

A torturous proces The wrongs or rights of torture have been the subject of much debate over the past few days. But sometimes it does not take a person being shackled, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and then «waterboarded» to feel that they are being tortured. The last few weeks, which have seen a series of political/economic scandals reappear or come to the boil, have been a form of very uniquely Greek torture.
