EDITORIAL

Politics behind glass It was only a matter of time: Since the domestic political scene has come to be determined by television, it was to be expected that television would at some point also determine the political protagonists as well. The so-called standout candidates who will feature on party tickets this year, namely TV stars with no related experience whatsoever, marks the latest victory of spectacle over politics.

COMMENTARY

Managing the quagmire All summer smelled of elections and ashes. No one was taken by surprise. And no one really expects anything new to emerge. No one thinks that the once-fascinating ballot can rock the boat or solve any of the outstanding problems. Across the nation's beaches, coffee shops and backyards, election talk soon fizzles out.

OPINION

Preparing for an election showdown The official date of Greece's early elections - September 16 - was announced last Thursday evening following a sad day that saw dozens of homes and hundreds of hectares of forestland ravaged on Mount Pendeli.
