EDITORIAL

Justice is blind, but only in one eye A great deal of evidence has come to light since Kathimerini first published reports about the Siemens bribery scandal, portraying it as a key example of the shady relations between business interests and political parties. The revelations are based on thorough investigation by foreign judiciary authorities. The evidence suggests that Greek officials are indeed implicated in the scandal. Now it's the turn of Greek prosecutors to build on the existing evidence.

COMMENTARY

Hunger collides with oil prices The world has recently witnessed large-scale and violent protests that are not driven by political and religious issues but by hunger and despair. If the international community does not react quickly and in a coordinated way, today's sporadic outbreaks may turn out to be the first salvoes in an era of violence and social regression in many parts of the world.
