EDITORIAL

Why is the obvious so difficult? The Greek state couldn't care less about the environment - and the number of times the country has been referred to the European Court of Justice is ample proof of this. The response of Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas regarding the cleanup task involving the Sea Diamond, which sank off the coast of Santorini last April, is also proof of the state's indifference.

COMMENTARY

Parties and corner shops Of all the good things wished upon Alexis Tsipras, the new leader of Synaspismos Left Coalition, the most precious one most probably came from PASOK's Theodoros Pangalos. If the past is any guide, Pangalos's verbal attack means that the newly elected leader will have the stars on his side. Dimitris Avramopoulos won the race for Athens mayor after Pangalos called him «Mr Nobody.»
