From FYROM to double-barreled compromise?

COMMENTARY

Ministerial workout In 1979, then-agriculture minister Yiannis Boutos made a trip to Bulgaria, which was then ruled with an iron fist by its last communist leader, Todor Zhivkov. Among other things, Boutos was impressed by the fact that Zhivkov used to make his ministers get up at six in the morning for a 30-minute workout before cabinet meetings.
