EDITORIAL
One body of laws, applicable to all
The government is at a crucial crossroad. It has finally shown that it has a genuine agenda of reforms and that it is not afraid of ruffling some feathers when necessary. It has also shown that in the area of foreign policy, it has proper planning and boldness, as it showed in the handling of the Macedonia name issue. It will be a shame if this positive mood and course is upset by some of New Democracy's members.
COMMENTARY
Myths and megalomania
We love myths. Both in our personal lives and as a nation, we like to see ourselves as protagonists as heroes or as victims of conspiracies which, in targeting us, show just how important and unique we are. For example, we like to believe and to repeat in magazines, newspapers, on television and on the Internet that by just one vote the newly established United States of America did not adopt Greek as their official language; the fact that there was never such a vote does not kill off our fantasy.
