Alexis Tsipras announced in the night between Friday and Saturday that the Greeks will be called on Sunday, July 5 vote for the referendum on the proposal of the creditors. The Greek prime minister said he was forced to call the referendum because the partners of the Euro Group presented an ultimatum to Greece which is against European values ​​for which “we are obliged to respond on hearing the will of the sovereign people.”

Faced with a referendum that is expected to approve the agreement by a large majority because about l ’80% of the Greek population wants to remain in the euro, the coalition government led by Tsipras would no longer no problem to pass the austerity measures in Parliament .
