A bulldozer...
EDITORIAL

Dialogue without fear Things are becoming quite ridiculous. In a country where everyone agrees it is high time to address the social security issue, the majority attack anyone who dares say a word on the issue. The same happened in 1996 with the proposals of the Spraos committee, in 2002 with Yiannitsis and again today, like a broken record, over statements by Nikos Analytis.

COMMENTARY

Not again History has a strange way of repeating as a caricature of its former self. A full 14 years have passed and we are back to square one. A government with a slim majority is starting to feel the Macedonia issue as a threat. On its right, a small extreme party is exerting heavy pressure.
