Or if we go to a new agreement that will say an end to these five disastrous years. I ask the Greeks to vote calmly without accepting blackmail and ultimatum. The place of Greece is in Europe. The IMF’s report confirms the arguments of my Government: the debt is not sustainable. ” This was stated by Prime Minister greek Alexis Tsipras, in a message to the nation, calling for a “30% cut debt greek of twenty years” and a 20-year moratorium on the amount remaining, in order to ensure “sustainability.” A “no” in the referendum, the Prime Minister insisted, “strengthens the negotiating position” of the greek government and would lead to “best” in this statement.
