European Union’s Lisbon Treaty...
EDITORIAL

The rule of tertiary education’s few Greek universities are being haunted by the ghost of autocracy. It does not come from the state or staff, but rather from a small cluster of leftist students who govern the daily business of universities. They force the elected senate to refrain from discussing topics of which they do not approve. They take over buildings and prohibit researchers from entering the premises.

COMMENTARY

March sends a message Wednesday's huge strike and protest rally sent a clear message: Any change to the social security system without guarantees is viewed as a threat by the masses of the working and middle classes capable of taking to the streets. A similar message was sent in 2001 in reaction to [PASOK Labor Minister] Tassos Yiannitsis's reform - in fact, many argue that that march marked the first strategic defeat for Costas Simitis's administration.
