Greece gets wake-up call
The inflation estimate for January released yesterday by the EU statistics office Eurostat is a wake-up call, if not an alarm bell. Greece's estimated 4.2 percent rate placed our economy near the bottom of the list of the 25 nations.
Latvia was found to have the highest inflation rate at 6.7 percent, while Greece and Estonia followed with 4.2 percent. |

‘As the hypocrites do...’
We should not be surprised at the ease with which Archbishop Christodoulos, in his bid to defend himself, went on to identify His Beatitude with the Church, religion and the nation. Politicians use similar defensive tactics when they find themselves under fire; particularly those who, swayed by sycophants, believe they have won people's eternal respect.
Early in his tenure, when PASOK was still in government, Christodoulos did not seem to feel uncomfortable when a deputy, looking to the votes of the faithful, welcomed him saying, «Behold, the Bridegroom comes in daylight,» shamelessly equating him with the Bridegroom of the Orthodox tradition. |
