EDITORIAL

Confiscated future History often repeats itself as a farce and student mobilizations have increasingly bordered on the ridiculous. A group of leftist students recently held a sit-in demonstration in the rector's office at the University of Athens demanding the restoration of several notice boards removed by the rector. On Tuesday, students went as far as to confiscate computers from the university premises until the notice boards are put back up - as if these computers were not purchased with their parents' money.

COMMENTARY

The foreign woman at home It is very difficult to imagine what Greece would be like had it not taken in a million immigrants over the past 17 years. Since the mass migration began, the countryside has been revived, major infrastructure projects were built with imported labor and the social security funds received lifesaving infusions from new members of the labor force. But the real revolution has taken place where it is invisible: in our homes. Foreign women - many from countries we knew nothing of until the collapse of the East bloc - were suddenly propelled into the hitherto hermetic Greek household.
