Too slow to react... PASOK leader George Papandreou speaks during a visit to Thessaloniki...

EDITORIAL

Citizens pay high price of timidity We have grown used to the European Union imposing fines on Greece for some violation of EU legislation or other virtually on a daily basis. Greece is paying a high price for the lack of any kind of state mechanism, corruption at all levels and the inability of any given government to overcome the shortsightedness resulting from their fear of assuming any political cost. Farming subsidies are a prime example.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

The mother of invention The economic crisis that has broken out across the world looks like the beginning of a difficult time for many countries. Even Europe, with its relatively well-off population and sophisticated safety net for the poorest citizens, looks like it will suffer greatly in the storm. And Greece is no exception. Just six months ago, the government and bankers were proclaiming that Greece would be immune to the credit crunch caused by the subprime mortgage fiasco in the United States. But that crisis kept deepening, making money more expensive after a long period of low rates, at the same time that fuel and food prices, as well as other commodities, began to reach unprecedented highs.
