A yacht sits peacefully...
EDITORIAL

Democracy Anniversaries to mark the restoration of democracy in Greece are generally honored with references to the painful past and celebrations of the relative calm and balance that has reigned in both the state and society since 1974. As the years go by and these anniversary speeches are repeated, the anniversary itself loses its lustre, older citizens regard it as a formality, while the younger generation condescendingly ignores it.
