‘A huge scandal’... PASOK leader George Papandreou speaks to OTE telcom workers at the company's headquarters...

EDITORIAL

Bring back the list It was only to be expected that the deregulation of pharmaceutical prices would lead to higher drug spending and that low-price medicines would sooner or later be replaced by similar, albeit more expensive, products. All the players involved - from the patients to the doctors and the companies - have a preference for higher-priced medicines: patients because they feel safer when buying a pricier product, drug makers because they increase their profits.

COMMENTARY

Green development At some point, Greece is going to have to address the issue of the environment versus development, especially as we seem to have lost sight of the issue in the midst of populism and generalizations. Environmental protection is crucial and this newspaper has waged more than a few battles toward it. But we can reach the other extreme, the point where populist fanaticism sometimes becomes ecological fascism. Of course no one wants to have a power station near their home, for example.
