A portrait...

All of history is a treasure
We often talk about history in Greece, but rarely respect it. Sometimes we ignore it, but mostly we are politically embarrassed by it. One victim of this malaise was the former royal residence at Tatoi, a place where many events occurred that were significant in shaping Greece. The dilapidated buildings and rotting art pointed to a country unable to come to terms with its past, to face it and move on. |

Bad movie with the wrong cast
In order to be successful, a politician must be able do two things at once: First, he must play the role that suits him and, second, he must leave a clear mark. If the role doesn't suit him, spectators will simply miss the original actor. If he has no clear idea where he wants to go, few voters will choose to follow him.
Listening to PASOK leader George Papandreou the past few weeks makes me feel a bit sad. Polarizing rhetoric and personal attacks are simply not for him. |
