EDITORIAL

Time for answers to crucial questions Even if there is no hint of a scandal behind Christos Zachopoulos's suicide attempt, light must be shed on every aspect of the affair and a number of crucial questions pertaining to it must be answered. Who set up the mechanism of blackmail to ensnare the former general secretary of the Ministry of Culture? What were their political or unionist affiliations? Which journalists were involved in publicizing the controversial video footage?

COMMENTARY

A country without a compass As elitist as it may sound, I have always believed that a country should be based on a few fundamental principles and a healthy establishment. The hard core of any serious European nation comprises an establishment of intellectuals, politicians, entrepreneurs and academics who can collectively see beyond their noses and personal interests. When the country loses its direction, they are the ones to address what needs changing.
