EDITORIAL

Immunity from bills as well? Some things that are just so obvious to everyone in other countries - such as, say, paying your telephone bill - are still a matter for debate in this country, but any reasonable citizen can see that there is nothing else to do but applaud the decision by OTE telecom's management to demand that all outstanding bills - estimated to be well in excess of 200 million euros - be settled in full and that further losses to the company be avoided.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

One year on, just keeping afloat Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis called early elections a year ago, citing the need for a renewed mandate to tackle the great challenges facing the economy. He could not have guessed just how great those challenges would become. With 152 seats in the 300-member Parliament, Karamanlis has had to balance the urgent need for substantial reforms with the risk of losing his majority. He has had to cope with shrill and relentless opposition from left and right of his party, but he has also had his hands full coping with rebels and miscreants in New Democracy itself. With a two-seat majority, the government is like a wounded animal: It can still keep moving but it's only a matter of time before it is brought down.
