EDITORIAL
The return of the little account book
It's a fact, even though there's no statistical evidence to prove it: People are buying on tick again. In the poor neighborhoods of Athens and Thessaloniki, this is something that small shopkeepers do not hesitate to confirm. The habit of purchasing consumer goods on credit, which at a more civilized (so to speak) level entails the use of credit cards, has become common in everyday exchange - whether at the local grocer's or the haberdasher's.
COMMENTARY
Public priorities
The political confrontation between the government and the opposition has undergone a gradual, negative transformation that the public has only recently begun to comprehend. The opposition does not control and monitor government work; or so the government has it. It claims that the opposition indulges in nothing but mudslinging. According to this rationale, the government does not need to provide evidence or be accountable to the opposition. Instead, it can ignore, distort or even return its criticism.
