In 2001, the government at the time withdrew the Giannitsis social security reform, adding tens of billions of euros to the public debt and contributing to the country’s bankruptcy. The current government is succumbing to the pre-election temptation of “populist” measures, undermining the pension system and fiscal stability.

The “calm waters” policy is useful but not an end in itself, says G. Gerapetritis. But what was its strategic goal, and where has it led us today? In light of this statement, perhaps it is time to take the discussion a step back.

In a world characterized by ever-increasing geopolitical risks and political and economic uncertainties, history teaches us that a country’s dependence—especially that of a small country like Greece—on its foreign creditors can prove to be its Achilles’ heel.

Are we rich and don’t even know it? According to UBS, Greece ranks 30th in the world in terms of average wealth per adult. This, however, is an illusion. The reasons are simple, and citizens’ daily lives confirm them.

At the beginning of the year, the dollar was on the decline, while gold and silver were at their peak. Today, the tables have turned as the dollar gains ground and gold retreats, even though geopolitical conditions favored the yellow metal. The dollar is proving hard to kill.

As an agreement, it is most welcome. Prices frozen for two months and a peaceful summer. Let’s not delude ourselves, though. It has not solved the problem of high prices, nor the market distortions.

We live in a democracy, and elections will be held at some point before the government’s term legally expires. The question is what we do in the meantime. The long pre-election period takes a toll on the quality of governance.

In the early 21st century, Germany sought and received Greece’s political support for the non-automatic imposition of sanctions for violations of the Stability Pact.

Horizontal subsidies for agriculture and livestock farming have encouraged the creation of Greek-style fraud schemes, such as OPEKEPE’s “phantom sheep” in Crete and the “wet cotton” scheme in Thessaly in the past. Why should things be any different this time with the subsidy for rabbit-headed people during the pre-election period?

A model that prioritizes following procedure over solving the problem is doomed to fail. The key questions are how long this will last and what the goal should be. By Antonis Lianos.

No matter how “praiseworthy” the enactment of a regulation on fire protection for archaeological sites may be, it raises a simple question: Have we only just learned that Greece has ancient sites and that they are threatened by wildfires every year? And right in the middle of this year’s fire season, no less?
