Greece Rejects EU Terms

Posted by samzenpus on from the thanks-but-no-thanks dept.

New submitter Thammuz writes: With almost all ballots counted, Greeks voted overwhelmingly "No" on Sunday in a bailout referendum, defying warnings from the EU that rejecting new austerity terms would set their country on a path out of the euro. Figures published by the interior ministry showed nearly 62% of those whose ballots had been counted voting "No", against 38% voting "Yes". "Today we celebrate the victory of democracy, but tomorrow all together we continue and complete a national effort for exiting this crisis," Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a televised address.

    You clearly are oblivious on how IMF can ruin entire countries, how the Greeks are actually more hard working than Germans, and are actually scapegoated by the same Germans to whom the entire world had forgiven their debt after WW2, in which they killed how many millions of people?
