Miscreants must be punished
Greek taxpayers have recently learned that millions of euros were illegally paid out of Siemens's coffers. Citizens who pay their taxes and still live in fear of the tax authorities have a right to ask if and when any investigation will be conducted into the extremely serious violations of the tax code committed by the German electronics giant, the company's former managing director in Greece Michalis Christoforakos, the firm's other executives, PASOK's Theodoros Tsoukatos and indeed anyone else directly or indirectly involved in unlawful, undeclared «funding.» Wherever this has been shown to have taken place, either by admission or weight of evidence, it is clear that the corresponding penalties should be imposed.

Ships and islands
From the time they settled on this peninsula and fanned out across its islands, the Greeks have been a seafaring nation. The demands of travel between distant ports, and the need to trade, drove the Greeks to conquer the seas. It was a matter of survival. Today the Greeks are the dominant force in international shipping, achieving this after the catastrophe of World War II, thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit and seamanship of individuals who risked great personal danger in order to succeed.
