EDITORIAL

Dialogue with no purpose Dialogue is always a good thing, but of course only as long as it has a purpose, a plan and, most importantly, a real basis for being held. This is why the announcement by new Education Minister Aris Spiliotopoulos that he will be wiping the dialogue slate clean and starting talks on reform in the sector from scratch may sound impressive, but is essentially nothing but empty talk.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Cultivating terror The most frightening thing about the shooting of a young police officer by suspected members of an extreme-leftist terrorist group is how predictable the whole thing was. As 21-year-old Diamantis Mantzounis lies in critical condition in the Red Cross Hospital, wounded by bullets in Monday's attack, Greeks are once again witness to the equivocations that have kept public debate tangled up in myths and nonsense for the past 30 years or so.
