Crisis prompts election rethink Possibility of spring polls is fading as survey reveals dissatisfaction with government’s handling of economy The possibility that Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis will call elections as early as next spring was played down yesterday as a new poll indicated that seven in 10 Greeks are unhappy with the way the ruling conservatives have handled their plans to support banks in the midst of the financial crisis.

EDITORIAL

After crime, punishment must follow Across the country people were shocked by the cold-blooded murder of a soccer fan in Paeania in March 2007 by a group of hooligans from an opposing team. It was a crime that screamed out for justice and the people of Greece demanded that the guilty parties be punished. The country's judges face a difficult and important task. They must weigh up all the evidence against any extenuating circumstances and must be as strict as possible in their decision.

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.
