EDITORIAL

Public anger is totally justified Greek politicians should really not be surprised at the growing public anger directed at them. All they need to do is consider what the average thinking citizen feels when he or she witnesses events and reactions that have no place in a developed nation. Citizens for example know with mathematical certainty that any politician or big fish who is known, beyond a doubt, to be involved in any major scandal will never be punished, will never have to face the consequences of his or her act.
