To which the Greeks will face this Sunday is not petty. The referendum called by the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will go down in history, as it may in the end make the country’s exit from the euro is considered the cradle of democracy or, on the contrary, subjecting people to a harsh perhaps deeper austerity conditions, from which it has faced in recent years.

All this within a huge pulse not only in the country but also with creditors and international institutions, still they do not believe how the Greek dossier undermining ended the way it is doing the foundations of the monetary union.

why thousands of Greeks took to the streets on Friday to demonstrate for the yes or no in the clear shows that the country is absolutely biased though surveys showed earlier this week that the ‘no’ was winning they had to cede the spotlight to ‘yes’, as horse racing, is using the final push to win.
What will vote
The question, in short, that will define the Greeks morning is: plan agreement submitted must be accepted by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund in the Eurogroup of June 25, 2015 and consists of two parts, which make their joint proposal? (…)
more words, fewer words, ask if the Greeks are willing to make sacrifices for saving the economy, or whether they prefer to look for other alternatives. But in the language of Greek and European politicization, a ‘yes’ it would mean that Greece remains in the eurozone, and a ‘no’ that marks its exit from the monetary union and perhaps the EU nuances that are not as definitive but that guide the thoughts of those who will vote tomorrow.

Sofia, a citizens makes time to listen to Tsipras. Visibly excited states is not considered leftist, but supports the ‘no’ because Tsipras’s who “can save not only to Greece but to Europe”. He is convinced that only can the ‘no’ to the Greeks the power to “change things” because many “lost everything” after five years of crisis.
That not to say, precisely, to defend the euro exit, he wants to be in the eurozone, but without involving the imposition of further cuts. (Also: What the Greeks do not want to give)
Implications
A few blocks away, in the manifestation of ‘yes’ Yanis, a businessman in his sixties, said that the ‘no’ ‘means a direct exit from the euro “, which, in their view, entail” tough days for Greece “. “ Let’s save our country from a group of ignoramuses who govern us” , he said.
What does seem clear is that if he wins the ‘yes ‘Tsipras has vowed to resign, which would put the country at a time of political instability that would add to the economic crisis. (Do you know what is happening with Greece?)
In fact, several European center-right parties have argued that the fall of Tsipras and Syriza party would be beneficial, because if one comes to power less radical, or more moderate party, as desired, the negotiations would be easier.
Tsipras says that exaggerate for fear of the consequences for Europe and the global economy, “What is at stake on Sunday is not the permanence of Greece in Europe, but if blackmail will force us to accept the continuation of a policy that the same lenders recognize that is a dead end” , said in the speech on Friday.
His opponents, however, accuse him of Greece’s future played a plebiscite that desire for a European human rights body no meets international standards of fairness.
The week ends, the absence of an agreement, the Eurogroup, backed by Germany, decided not to continue negotiations. Said the resume when the results of the referendum are known, although it is assumed that if he wins the ‘no’ there is nothing to negotiate.

But they also know that a possible Greek exit from the euro will not break the European Union, the political consequences would indeed be devastating to a marriage in crisis and unresolved multiple fronts.
The drama of taking money abroad
Life was hard Vasilis, who left Athens in June to seek work in London with 2,800 euros in his pocket, because he did not get a job so quickly. In recent days the life has been even more difficult. You have money in a bank account in his country, but the restriction to withdraw 60 USD a day imposed in Greece implies not have access to your money without paying high commissions for every small amount, so it is consuming their savings.
Since the banks closed Monday in Greece, in countries like the UK, where thousands of Greeks have come to work, study or visit relatives, many say their cards debit and credit have failed to withdraw money from ATMs or when buying online. Athens sent requests to several embassies to try to mitigate the impact of capital controls for Greeks abroad, particularly for students and tourists.
