EDITORIAL

Public debt Those who wish to understand the reason why public debt keeps soaring should take a look at the state audit council. The staff there would have a lot to say. For example, the council has recently come under serious pressure from the federation of preschool and primary school teachers because the educators want to be paid for the five weeks they went on strike this fall but without having to work overtime to make up the lost hours of class time.

COMMENTARY

Unwelcome pope Pope Benedict XVI's trip to Turkey tomorrow has sparked protests among nationalist groups that claim to defend the secular legacy of Kemal Ataturk. The reactions, however, should not be exaggerated. Images of the heated protests have already been broadcast around the globe but they will have little political impact on Turkey. It will cause some embarrassment among some Western-minded politicians meeting with foreign envoys or businessmen, but there is nothing too uncommon about this.
