Clean Monday...
TODAY'S PHOTO

A matter of social responsibility Extended power shortages throughout the country and the threat of a torrent of garbage have pushed Greeks beyond their limits. They have also made us think about the limits of unionist demands. Certain categories of workers trying to achieve their demands by whatever means they deem necessary do not punish their employers, but society at large. Energy, water resources and public sanitation are foremost social commodities and national resources.

‘We don’t want your IKA’ Very often, the Greeks look like the hostages of a sadistic regime that is accountable to no one. Whichever pressure group wants something is certain to exert pressure on the passive whole. This is not the result of any foreign occupation or dictatorship - it is rather the consequence of individual egocentrism, in combination with a totally incapable public administration and an irresponsible political class. This is a cliche, but no less valid for that.
