EDITORIAL

Irresponsibility at a high price The sale of spoilt yogurt by the dairy firm FAGE could have remained a minor, isolated error or an accident in the production process without any particular repercussions, even for the firm itself.

COMMENTARY

A difficult relationship The jeering that accompanied the playing of the Albanian national anthem before Wednesday's soccer match was certainly a black mark, but not something completely unexpected. Similar behavior had greeted the Greek national squad's visit to Tirana last year.

OPINION

Dodging the issue The assertion by Supreme Court head Giorgos Kapos that he would be belittling himself by turning his attention to fugitive drugs smuggler Apostolos Vavilis seems a bit odd. Generally, it is the job of the judge and the lawyer to deal with every case, good or bad, that falls within their area of competence, whether it be thieves, con men or other criminals. It is not in the ethics of the lawyer's profession to choose the defendants he will represent. Even the most hardened criminal has the right to legal representation.
