EDITORIAL

Thugs and bosses enjoy impunity The inquest into the horrific murder of the young Australian tourist by bouncers working at the Cavo Paradiso and Tropicana bars on Myconos is going ahead and we hope that justice will be served against the perpetrators.

Roads were being constructed, stadiums completed, volunteers trained, the November 17 terror gang dismantled - even the city's notorious taxi drivers were being put through etiquette classes. The latest, massive infusion of European Union funding was programmed to end in 2004. Even the political landscape was undergoing massive change, with PASOK looking certain to lose the spring elections after being in power almost continually from 1981.
