EDITORIAL

The upside of the credit crisis The global financial crisis carries trouble as well as hope for Greece. The negative fallout is plain to see, as the credit crunch inevitably exerts added pressure on the local economy. On a more upbeat note, however, the crisis carries hope about the things that we must change at home. The fact that Greece's real economy suffers more than its European counterparts' reveals its structural shortcomings, which this and previous governments have shied away from facing.

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.
