EDITORIAL

New morality Speaking to New Democracy's parliamentary group yesterday, Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis mostly reiterated his previous recommendations. His insistence is of particular importance. It shows that the promise of a new political morality was not just a campaign firework. Neither was it some vague intention. Rather, it is Karamanlis's central priority in an attempt to shape a whole new climate inside his party and the body politic in general.

COMMENTARY

On political morality The decision by Dimitris Tsovolas to suspend operations of the Democratic Social Movement (DIKKI) and, above all, his unvarnished explanation for doing so, was a model of democratic and political morality. So was Tsovolas's posture during the party's eight-year life. The former PASOK minister was consistent, uncompromising and persistent, regardless of whether one agrees with his views or not.
