Reform education system...
EDITORIAL

Zero tolerance to all offenses The good news is that the state has finally decided to crack down on scattered pockets of lawlessness around the country. Not just in Zoniana, but in Pangrati too, where a group of thugs (with or without political cover) destroyed a school that was once a jewel in Athens's crown. The important message being sent by the state is that it will not tolerate certain individuals or geographical areas standing above the law.

COMMENTARY

In the grip of fear It could be any part of Athens. Pangrati, Neapoli, Patissia, Aghios Panteleimonas or Acharnon. Late at night. A 30-something woman leaves a friend's house and heads for her car. She stops under a street light to look for her keys. All of a sudden, she is hit with a knuckle-duster. She feels no pain yet, only horror: Two large, silent men stand behind her. She offers her bag to them, even before they snatch it from her.
