EDITORIAL

Green policy a top priority Protection of the environment is one of the most serious issues to plague Greece and over the past few years we have seen a growing number of concerned citizens becoming more sensitive to the needs of the planet. We have also seen a growing portion of the electorate making its political decisions based on the political parties' positions on these issues.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Thucydides, in his unforgettable chronicle of the decline and fall of Athens, noted that in the future people would look on the ruins of his city and consider it greater than it was, while the ruins of its great rival, Sparta, would make the Peloponnesian city appear less mighty than it was.
