University asylum bind
 Gov’t refuses to get involved as deans opt to ride out storm without law enforcement

The government yesterday refused to take a stance on the thorny issue of university asylum, saying it was an issue for the judiciary and academic community to tackle, as the capital's main university faculties remained occupied by hundreds of students and self-styled anarchists.

EDITORIAL
Protecting the Stability Pact
 Some critics have attacked the European Union's Stability and Growth Pact claiming that its deficit ceiling of 3 percent of gross domestic product is hindering governments from dealing with the protracted economic meltdown. This newspaper has a different opinion. The 3 percent limit is an anchor of stability. First, it's the only criterion that is still in force.

No faith in ourselves
 So why do Greek institutions not function? And, to the extent that they do, why is there such public distrust in them? Greece has, after all, been an independent state since 1831. After nearly two centuries of freedom it is a bit sad to keep going back to the 400-year Ottoman occupation to explain the inefficiency and corruption of our public administration - and the individual selfishness that makes collective effort the exception rather than the rule.
