EDITORIAL

Concerns mount in countdown to polls It is comprehensible to all that any long-drawn-out pre-election period - in this case, stretching to 16 months - is going to have a detrimental effect on the national economy. Despite the original assertion by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, according to which general elections would take place at the end of his conservative administration's four-year term - namely in 2008 - the entire political system, the whole Cabinet and the state machinery have all slackened their pace faced with the certainty of early elections next year.

COMMENTARY

The end of a political tradition? And so yet another anniversary of the 1973 student uprising at the Athens Polytechnic has passed. The events of 1973 are regarded - rightly or wrongly - as the beginning of the end of the military dictatorship in Greece, the catalyst of a new political order and an ideological point of reference for the post-1974 political landscape.
