EDITORIAL

Have some dignity, at last It's about time our politicians took a more responsible stance toward the media. Deputies of all stripes have at different times cultivated or, at best, tolerated obvious wrongdoing, ranging from the non-payment of social security contributions to serious violations of town-planning regulations. Prime ministers and their ministers have often rushed to make disclosures that have later proved to be unfounded.

COMMENTARY

A breakdown in trust For years now there has been a growing rift between politicians and the press, and the public's suspicion of both «estates» has grown accordingly. This breakdown in democratic dialogue is a serious problem in societies that have been fortunate enough to have it. At the same time, countries where democracy is still developing will not reach their full potential if they do not see the blossoming of a free and lively press.
