Implementing an economic policy

According to the Greek daily Kathimerini, Obama must first tackle the economy: "After all, we have seen that in practice it was the economy that gave Obama his victory. ... In 1992 Bill Clinton was elected under the slogan 'It's the economy stupid'. For the second time in 16 years a democratic candidate has won because his economic message gained acceptance. ... Obama must now make good on his promises to implement a progressive economic policy that helps both the working class and the middle class and at the same time preserves the trust of the markets. ... 62 percent of the voters in a survey said that the economic situation was the most important factor behind their decision. Only 10 percent mentioned terrorism or other issues."

A dangerous name dispute

Nikola Gruevski, Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, a former Yugoslavian republic, last week called for the recognition of the Slav-Macedonian minority in Greece, triggering an escalation in the name dispute between Greece and Macedonia. The Greek daily blames the Macedonian prime minister for this impasse: "This 38-year-old arrogant and nationalist prime minister ... threatens to destroy the precarious balance in the Balkans. ... Gruevski is trying to widen the [political] agenda with Greece either in order to ... force a concession in the name dispute or because he believes that those countries that are sensitive to minority issues in Europe and America will support him ... in his campaign. ... Should the latter be the case, Gruevski is walking on thin ice by trying to create problems where there are none and open wounds that Europe had healed long ago. ... Gruevski is turning into a troublemaker in the Balkans."
