The rejection in a referendum agreements with lenders on Saturday Greeks called some members of the government of Alexis Ciprasa.
The leader of the coalition party Independent Greeks Panos Kammenos appealed to all compatriots the rejection in a referendum of the current aid program. – Just like in 1940, when the Greeks decided to tell her “no” foreign troops, so now I urge everyone to participate in this great celebration of democracy, namely the referendum and to vote “no” – appealed Kammenos.

– The referendum will boil down basically to answer to the question of whether Greece will remain in Europe or not – said Samaras.
According to Greek experts decision on the referendum is quite risky. – This decision raises several questions. Firstly, whether the Greeks will continue to believe that by voting against the proposals of the European institutions have a chance for a better deal. Secondly, whether the referendum is at all possible, because the Greek constitution says that the referendum can not be announced in fiscal matters – wrote on Twitter Greek commentator Jannis Kutsomitis.
Kutsomitis also wonders whether the Greek government succeeds to obtain an extension of ending aid program and whether in the event of a negative reply from the creditors of the referendum will still have meaning.
On the other hand, in the assessment of Faisal Islam, a Greek journalist Sky TV there is a possibility that Germany and France will want to to the question asked in the referendum concerned the Greeks belonging to the euro zone, and not to accept a proposal lenders, as it wants to Cipras.
