Greek voters have decisively rejected the terms of a bailout deal offered by international lenders. With all of votes now counted, more than 61% of people said no, thousands of supporters of the no campaigner celebrating in front of the parliament in Athens, waving flags, chanting and setting off fireworks. The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the outcome was not a vote against Europe, but a mandate1 for negotiating a viable2 solution to the debt crisis.
“Dear Greeks, today’s referendum doesn’t have winners and losers, it is a big victory by itself. Today, altogether, we wrote a glorious page in European history, we proved that even in the worst circumstance democracy cannot be blackmailed3. We also proved that when a nation has a faith and collective consciousness it can stand and overcome any difficulties.”
The head of Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the referendum result was very regrettable for the future of Greece. Euro zone leaders will hold a summit on Tuesday to discuss the situation. The German and French leaders who spoke4 on the phone say the will of the Greek people has to be respected. The president of the European parliament Martin Schulz said it was up to Greece to come up with solutions.
“I hope that the Greek government, they are making in the next coming hours, a meaningful and constructive5 proposal that allowing that it is possible to renegotiate. If not, we are entering a very difficult and even dramatic time.”
Some European ministers have expressed shock at that result. But the Italian foreign minister said it was time to resume talks on a new deal. In Spain, the leader of the anti-austerity Podemos party Pablo Iglesias welcomed the results as a decisive victory for democracy.
The value of Euro has fallen against the dollar and Yen6 amid speculation7 that Athen has taken a significant step towards leaving the Euro zone. As our economic editor Robert Pastern reports the Greek economy is now in a dire8 situation.
“Even in combat by severe restriction9 on cash transfers and withdraws, I have learned that Greek banks are just days away from running out of cash and collapsing10, a humanitarian11 disaster in Mr. Tsipras’s words. Because in those circumstances, not only would millions of Greeks lose their savings12, but companies would collapse13, and Greece will run out of vital import of food, raw materials and medicine. Greek banks are desperately14 in need of lender’s last resort to save them and Greek economy. And no bank or central bank have much spoken the relieves, the European central bank can’t any longer fulfill15 that function. ”
After the outcome of the referendum became clear, the leader of Greece’s main opposition16 party resigned, Antonis Samaras had campaigned for a yes vote.

“亲爱的希腊人，今天的公投并没有赢家或输家，公投本身就是一场胜利。今天我们一起书写下欧洲历史上光辉的一页，我们证明了，即使在最糟糕的情况下，民主也是不可以被勒索的。我们还证明了，当一个国家有信仰和共同的信念时，这个国家就能挺过并克服任何困难。”
