Life as murky as a thriller novel
16 May 20122The Guardian London
A novel about a serial-killer in Athens is so realistic that its author, Petros Markaris, had to warn readers that it should not be imitated. The reason : it’s about the tax-dodging Greek elite and the victims of the corrupted system. In brief

Europe day
A crisis and no fireworks
9 May 20129De Standaard Brussels
As speculation rages about a Greek exit from the eurozone, we must grasp that the country cannot survive without the single currency and that Europe cannot afford to let it leave. That's why everyone should put their cards openly on the table. 
With less than a month left to go before the kick-off of the Euro 2012, the fate of opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has poisoned relations between the EU and Ukraine — the co-organiser of the championship along with Poland. However, the issue of human rights is only one aspect of a story in which business interests have also played an important role. 
The Greeks, as well as everyone in EU, are waiting to see if the leaders of the three main parties can agree to form a government and avoid elections that would further aggravate the crisis. But for now, they seem rather more preoccupied with ensuring their own political futures. 
Forget the debate about austerity versus growth, the future of the single currency is being played out in the banking sector. As a result of the crisis, governments and financial institutions have become so interdependent that they have weakened each other. 
The spectre of a Greek exit from the Eurozone has once again been raised by the political crisis in Athens: a scenario that is all the more dangerous for Spain, which is now more vulnerable, and one whose consequences would be geo-political as well as economic. 
Reactions to the film Barbara show that 'feel-good' films worry German film producers. The director, Dominik Graf, implores filmmakers to dare to challenge the highbrow cinema strangehold. 
France, Bulgaria, Romania and the Czech Republic have decided to suspend the exploitation of their shale gas fields for environmental reasons. Now that the EU is under pressure to adopt a similar position, Poland may be the last European country to continue seeking to develop this energy source. 
While the EU celebrates its birthday on 9 May, European integration is in trouble: the euro crisis, the turmoil of enlargement and the financial crisis have stirred things up. Yet, says a Belgian political analyst, there is no reverse gear on the ship of Europe, only course corrections are possible.
