EDITORIAL

Stormy tendencies This may be the first time that a major political party has shown such intense and bitter internal dissension on the eve of an election. Four months after George Papandreou was triumphantly elected leader of PASOK, high-ranking PASOK officials are indirectly but clearly raising the issue of party leadership. Most striking of all is the fact that the issue is being discussed more frequently in party corridors.

COMMENTARY

Cycle of entanglement The vexed issue of political and economic entanglement arose in the 1980s, when modernization of Greek telecom OTE was under discussion and private interests were gaining influence. Since then, the phenomenon has snowballed. In 1989-90, when the Koskotas scandal hit, the economy was directionless and in crisis, society was inert, and the first major contract was signed by which certain interests, later to become all-powerful, held politics hostage.
