Kathimerini evaluates the government effort
Editorials at Kathimerini have often been angry and severe in their evaluation of Papandreou's government. But this editorial from June 12 is not as strident or as eveloped in dread for the future. After giving a basic summary of past events leading up to the present state of Greek affairs, the unnamed writer has this to say:
" Greece is being set up on new foundations but the ground on which it stands is shaken by doubt, by the habits and partisan divisions of a defunct system and fear of the future. Grading the government’s handling of the issues at the epicenter of this earthquake is an act of faith – an appreciation of what has been achieved and an expression of hope for what remains to be done. The overall assessment: We must try harder."
