EDITORIAL

Incompetent officials This week has not begun well for the government's economic policy-makers. Its much-hyped pledge that it would bring the prices of heating oil and the automotive diesel to the same level failed to materialize. It's hard to believe that although the measure has been in the pipeline for years, the responsible officials have hardly done any preparation at all. Is this a case of a lack of political will to clamp down on fuel smuggling?

COMMENTARY

Name cult Self-criticism can be very ironic indeed. «There was no party. We are not a party. We are a leadership that originates from a party. We are party officials of a party state mechanism,» said PASOK's Theodoros Pangalos last weekend. He thereby summed up the truth about his party (of which he was a senior cadre) over the past decade.
