Greek civil service pay and patronage
(EfSyn | Γιώργος Μαντενιώτης)
Editorial summary
Low public pay and repeated pay cuts make Greek state jobs unattractive and weaken staffing, especially when recruitment must compete with the private sector. The government says its changing laws modernise administration, while critics say they preserve patronage and block merit-based careers.
Lead piece

Το «ράβε – ξήλωνε» της κομματικής υποκρισίας

Reading: Repeated legislative changes by the same government do not constitute reform; they preserve a clientelist system and should be replaced by a genuine merit-based, transparent state.
