EDITORIAL

Silence of politics On the occasion of today's informal meeting of the 25 EU leaders in London, the already vigorous political dialogue on the future of Europe has heated up. Tony Blair, prime minister of the UK, which also holds the rotating EU presidency, addressed the European Parliament yesterday; French President Jacques Chirac is exporting his ideas with articles in European newspapers; and the German political leadership is seeking a new path after the elections. Throughout Europe there is keen discussion about the challenges facing the EU.

COMMENTARY

Crucial choice The bleak political climate and the scandalmongering of the past few weeks demand a response not only from the government but also from the Socialist opposition. Many PASOK cadres are gloating over the relentless war that certain media have launched on the government, deeming that this will facilitate their return to power. Some officials have urged the party leadership to throw more oil onto the flames either through media leaks or parliamentary questions.
