TOP STORY
Back to school, for now Teachers to stage regular 24-hour strikes until pay demands are met Teachers have decided to go back to school from Monday after a long strike - six weeks by primary school teachers and 10 days by their secondary school colleagues - but unrest in the education sector continues, with students joining in by occupying their schools and few signs of either the teachers or the government being ready to compromise.

EDITORIAL

Deputies feather their own nests At a time when teachers are taking to the streets to demand a better standard of living, Greek judges appear to have found a more efficient way to raise their pensions - they simply reach out to their colleagues who have the authority to decide on increases in judges' salaries. At a time when the government acknowledges the fairness of teachers' claims - which are hard to meet due to the poor state of the economy, as the prime minister has made clear to them - Greek deputies are giving their pensions a tonic through the back door by making laws that further their own interests.

COMMENTARY

Defeating the purpose The waves of illegal migrants that sneak into the more developed Western societies is reminiscent of the barbarians' invasion of ancient and medieval empires. Then it was the raids of wild horsemen in search of more fertile ground and suitable environment. Now, it is downtrodden people cramming into leaky boats or the back of trucks in the hope of a better life.
