EDITORIAL
‘Responsibility pact’ signed by the PM
It is a good thing for a country when its prime minister declares that he has no intention of mortgaging the future of the economy for some transient political benefits. And it is important for a country's political leader to reiterate the obvious, namely that overly generous benefits for certain social groups lead to a vicious circle of deficits and, ultimately, the inevitable implementation of much tougher measures to make up for the damage wrought by irresponsible gestures.
COMMENTARY
Five years on a long road
A year ago I visited London with my wife. It was just two months after the attacks that had shaken that creative metropolis and four years after the terrorist attacks in the United States. If the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York had signaled the end of the world as we knew it, the attacks in London showed both how much and how little the world had changed since then. The subway and buses, on which 52 people had died in the attacks, were packed - with Londoners and an equal number of visitors. All were aware that their every move was recorded on a sophisticated electronic surveillance network.
