EDITORIAL

Lost trust is the biggest blow We don't yet know whether the Vatopedi affair will rank at the top of a long list of recent scandals in terms of the damage it has done to the state, when - and if - the extent of the entire affair is fully disclosed. What is certain right now is that it does top the list for the malevolent manner in which material interests were intertwined with a hypocritical «spiritual» cover-up of the illegal activities of «misled» ministers, other state services and, now, the highest echelons of the judiciary.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

A deluge of despair In the last nine months, close to 11,000 illegal immigrants were intercepted by the coast guard as they tried to enter Greece through the eastern islands that lie close to Turkey. Some are dumped on islets by smugglers using super-fast boats that can cover the distance from Turkish waters to Greek territory in five minutes, before heading back to safety, leaving the Greeks to pick up the burden of human misery shivering on the Aegean's bare rocks.
