EDITORIAL

Competitiveness and challenges Yet another German-owned discount supermarket chain has unveiled its plans to expand into the Greek market, announcing the creation of some 200 stores over the next five years. The influx of foreign giants intensifies, ending a period of mergers and takeovers of Greece's major supermarket chains. The sector is clearly in the process of radical transformation.

COMMENTARY

Loyal troops Cliches are never neutral: They either let you speak without saying anything or they are a trap that can expose you as you try to hide behind banality. It's an old habit among party officials, deputies and ministers: When power is shared out, they portray themselves as willing and disciplined troops. They eagerly proclaim they are not motivated by personal ambition but by pure altruism.
