France’s presidential elections...
EDITORIAL

Greek politics forty years on Last Saturday marked the 40th anniversary of that April morning when Greece woke to the noise of army tanks rolling down the streets. Democracy was dead but the killer was still unknown. There had been widespread rumors that the king would try to cancel an upcoming election that was expected to turn into a referendum against the royal family.

COMMENTARY

Karamanlis feels the heat Sometimes it's good to call a spade a spade. If New Democracy won the 2004 elections, it was thanks to two people: firstly, the current prime minister Costas Karamanlis and, secondly, his spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos. Karamanlis tailored the electoral contest to his needs and shifted the political discourse to the center of the left-right spectrum. His main concern during the campaign period was the blunders of conservative officials.
