For Europe, the Greek referendum Sunday at the question yes or no to the European Union and the euro. And the Greeks would have to vote in favor. A ‘no’ a departure from the eurozone seems inevitable. At the same time the call came to go back to the negotiating table now the end of the support package for Greece is anxiously nearby.
On Tuesday it expires at midnight billion package that the lenders (the eurozone, the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund), Greece in recent years have upheld. Yet aside money, including for the Greek banking sector, it will lapse and Greece has to financially stand on their own.
The failure of the talks on an extension of this package is to complete due to the Greeks , finds Europe. Declaring the referendum on a financial bailout of the lenders, the negative voting recommendation of the government, was the proverbial last straw.
Minister and Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said “disappointed” about the Greek occur. The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, felt even “a little betrayed.” “Europe can only work if we are in a dialogue to bridge differences,” said Juncker, who voices the Greeks called before the EU and the euro. German Chancellor Angela Merkel did not tell the Greeks how to vote and announced that it would respect the outcome.
A Greek exit from the eurozone (Grexit) is to be avoided according to Dijsselbloem. “There is still much conceivable. I keep saying that the door is still open to us, although the possibility and time very limited. “Juncker also held open the door for the Greeks to come to negotiate. “A Grexit has never been an option, and still do not,” Juncker said. “Greece is Europe and Europe is Greece.”
The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, the government of the euro countries, meanwhile, wrote and asked for an extension of the aid package. But that question seems to fall on deaf ears.
Monday was also announced that the referendum bill first “no” afterwards. The box for approval of the plans of the lenders comes afterwards. Although the formal question is whether the proposal should be accepted, it runs according to the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi a choice “between the euro and the drachma,” was his tweet.
The Greeks vote Sunday in a referendum on the proposal of the lenders to the country. On the referendum bill, they can only answer ‘no’. The box before approving the plan comes only after that.
“Should the proposal submitted by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund during the Eurogroup of June 25, 2015, consisting of two parts that make up their comprehensive proposal be accepted? “is the question that must answer to the Greeks.
The leftist government, which rejected the proposal during the negotiations, the residents called on to vote against because that would strengthen the negotiating position. The leaders in the eurozone, including Eurogroup leader Jeroen Dijsselbloem, but on Monday made it clear that a no vote is seen as a rejection of euro membership.
