EDITORIAL

The vicious circle of healthcare The National Health System (ESY) is heading from one impasse to another and it is no exaggeration to say that the ship is starting to list very dangerously. Following the mess over doctors' duty shifts (a problem that has not been solved yet), we are now seeing a problem with orthopedic supplies and hospitals will soon start running short of much-needed materials because suppliers have not been paid since 2005.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

State of siege Something very strange - and very dangerous - is taking place in the heart of Athens. This newspaper has already noted how parts of the capital are being abandoned to lawlessness, following the great influx of illegal immigrants. This has been interpreted both as negligence on the part of the authorities and as a policy of neglect aimed at forcing the migrants to seek a better life elsewhere.
