EDITORIAL

Action and realistic proposals Several government officials are showing clear signs of fatigue: It is obvious that they can no longer deal with crucial issues, as is expected of them. No one but the prime minister has the right to replace these figures. There are alternative solutions inside the ranks of the conservative party and Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has the knowledge and judgment to make the right decisions about their future.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Dictatorship of the proletariat Protest marches in Athens are an experiment in how meaningful mechanisms of political expression can - when abused over a long time - degenerate into meaningless ritual. When taken to an extreme, they reveal the absurdity of political or labor activism gone wild: Protest marches are held to demand an improvement in a situation, but when abused they can actually make it worse.
