EDITORIAL

Irrational action goes too far The strike by customs officers has already begun to have an impact on the Greek market and the most ludicrous things about all this is that the reasons cited for the strike are bureaucratic. The work stoppage is not about real worker demands, such as, say, wage increases. What the unionists running the show are demanding is that the government allow them to determine the terms of their pay. The irrationality of certain unionists has reached ridiculous proportions.

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.
