EDITORIAL

Acting on illegal nightclubs Four ministries (and who knows how many departments of state services) are involved in the procedure for the issuance of operating licenses to nightclubs. However, the great number of laws and the dispersion of responsibility provides a hotbed for lawbreaking and corruption. Often we see one department turning against the other. The same club that is ordered to shut down by one department is later granted permission to stay open by another.

COMMENTARY

For some months now, PASOK officials have been warning George Papandreou against making the structured bonds scandal the battle flag of his campaign. Even though New Democracy has lost the moral high ground, they argued, PASOK has nothing more to gain.
