A leftwing magazine called Anti - one with a risky and even risque sense of humour - offered the following explanation in its issue of February 23. "It is obvious," commentator Yannis Androulidakis notes, "that Papandreou is suffering the martyrdom of a political transsexual: he is trapped in a body - in this case a party - that does not suit him."

Glancing through Pasok's programme one sees for instance that it asks for much more money to be given to the universities in the state they are in now, unreformed and occupied by revolting students. Had this been done - as a columnist in To Vima (February 24) showed - the Greek taxpayers would have spent much more than this year's 7 billion euros on a tertiary education system that has come to a complete standstill this academic year in Greece.
