EDITORIAL
The truth needs to come out
Despite the strong interest shown by the public in seeing plenty of light shed on the scandal involving government officials receiving bribes from electronics giant Siemens, all indications point to the fact that the investigation into these allegations has floundered. According to sources, the evidence is there but has not been seized upon by prosecutors, while witnesses who are ready to talk are not being invited to do so.
COMMENTARY
From light to darkness
Nikos Sergianopoulos may or may not have had the intellectual brilliance of a writer like Costas Tachtsis or the grandeur of the great Italian visionary Pier Paolo Pasolini, but he shared certain habits with them and, unfortunately, a similar death - violent murder. He was killed in his home, like Tachtsis, possibly by someone he knew and had let in. He was found with multiple stab wounds, like Pasolini, whose body was discovered on a beach in Ostia on November 2, 1975, mutilated by the ragazzi di vita, the children of life that he so admired, the violent children of a violent life in violent suburbs.
