EDITORIAL

A question of credibility Dialogue, in general, is useful. Even when it makes no sense, such as the tripartite meeting with Bank of Greece strikers that Economy Minister Giorgos Alogoskoufis is trying to arrange without the participation of his counterpart from the Employment Ministry. It is incomprehensible, because the pension reform bill has already been passed by Parliament and is now law.

An out-of-competition check found that almost the entire men's and women's national weightlifting teams had taken banned substances.
