What a concept! Syriza leaders are letting the Greek people decide on the issue of paying off international banks for loans which the latter managed to induce corrupt Greek leaders in the past to assume.
The ruling Syriza party urged voters to reject “the ultimatum by the lenders “ and “say yes to the proposal made by the government.” The leader of the Independent Greeks party, and Tsipras’ junior coalition partner, meanwhile urged the voters to protect the country’s sovereignty as they did “in 1940 when Greek people decided to say no to foreign armies.”
“I call for all of the party to participate in this big celebration of democracy called a referendum and to vote 'No' – no to handing away our independence,” Panos Kammenos said.
