EDITORIAL

Vicious thugs rule the night Organized crime has obviously found a foothold in the country. The murder of a 47-year-old man in Aegaleo, western Athens, shows that some feel confident enough to carry out mafia-style hits that have so far been unknown in Greece. Such assassinations are, of course, the worst aspect of Greece's increasingly violent nightlife. Greece's nightclubs appear to be beyond the reach of the law.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

State of siege Something very strange - and very dangerous - is taking place in the heart of Athens. This newspaper has already noted how parts of the capital are being abandoned to lawlessness, following the great influx of illegal immigrants. This has been interpreted both as negligence on the part of the authorities and as a policy of neglect aimed at forcing the migrants to seek a better life elsewhere.
