EDITORIAL

Signs of fatigue in the government The government is showing signs of fatigue just a few weeks after its re-election. It would be a real shame - for the government itself and for the country - if it were to lose the major opportunity it has been given to push through significant reforms in the sectors of education, the economy, ailing state carrier Olympic Airlines and the social security system.
