As things stand, only honesty and straight talk can ensure that the public discourse is maintained. Technically, Greece has not stopped being a sovereign state. Essentially, however, both the government and Parliament have lost their authority to decide on the course that the country is to take on a socioeconomic level. This is attested by the fact that whenever Athens has disagreed, it has been the line adopted by Greece’s troika of international lenders -- the European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank -- that has prevailed. www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite3_5_13/10/2011_410794
