EDITORIAL

Time to assume responsibility Some people out there are vehemently protesting a profoundly selfish argument - namely, that democracy is not the power of the majority but rather the power of the minority (little surprise, they are themselves members of that minority). Their stance implies that the decisions of Parliament and the laws of the Hellenic Republic should only be implemented should they wish it so.

COMMENTARY

Signs and nonsense A few days ago, the Public Order Ministry announced that, at the initiative of the minister, it would be prosecuting the people responsible for damaging road signs, including those who plaster stickers on them. We may laugh at the sight of a ministry announcing that it would do what it is supposed to be doing anyhow - enforcing the law - but many citizens must have been happy to hear that at last somebody might be doing something about the plague of unreadable signs.
