State just giving away assets
The Vatopedi Monastery scandal has sent shock waves through society as a whole. According to the information that has become available so far, the state appears to have transferred extremely valuable property to the monastery in exchange for property whose ownership is disputed and which is, essentially, worthless. After Supreme Court prosecutor Giorgos Sanidas ordered an investigation earlier this week, justice will certainly be looking into whether property belonging to the state had been undervalued.

What country do we want?
Like the historic neighborhood of every great city, Plaka is the heart of Athens - the Athens that tourists come to see, the Athens that the city's own residents like to visit. So it is fitting that this district should reflect, perhaps more than most, the ravages of time and the changing moods and priorities of Athenians. It is no coincidence that Plaka is, once again, threatened by an effort to open it up to greater commercial exploitation.
