EDITORIAL

Protest and urban disruption The traffic chaos caused by the protest rally held by Olympic Airlines workers in the center of Athens yesterday - against the New Democracy government's plans to privatize the troubled national carrier - was an early indication that the 4 million people living in the capital are in for a really tough winter. That said, the patience of the capital's residents is running out and this is something that mustn't be underestimated under any circumstances.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

One year on, just keeping afloat Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis called early elections a year ago, citing the need for a renewed mandate to tackle the great challenges facing the economy. He could not have guessed just how great those challenges would become. With 152 seats in the 300-member Parliament, Karamanlis has had to balance the urgent need for substantial reforms with the risk of losing his majority. He has had to cope with shrill and relentless opposition from left and right of his party, but he has also had his hands full coping with rebels and miscreants in New Democracy itself. With a two-seat majority, the government is like a wounded animal: It can still keep moving but it's only a matter of time before it is brought down.
