The Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, said today that if Sunday’s referendum win the ‘yes’ will respect the outcome and he hinted that he might resign.

I will respect the result whatever it is and put in motion the procedures provided for by the Constitution” , Tsipras said in an interview with Greek television antenna, in which he said he did not put your “chair” in front “of the interests of the nation”.

The proposals made by creditors were presented last week “mode take it or leave it”, according Varoufakis.

The minister reiterated that the consultation on Sunday is not a referendum on the permanence of Greece in the monetary union, “ We want desperately to stay in the euro, but criticize its institutional framework” said

On the other hand, Varoufakis ruled and capacity. his country back to the drachma. “We have the capacity” to do so, told Australian radio ABC, because “we do not have plates to print money” .

Varoufakis said he would not agree to a plan not involving a debt restructuring: “First I cut my arm” .

Greece “undid” of these plates in 2000, a year before Greece entered the eurozone, as this is conceived as a “irreversible monetary union “, explained the minister.
