FT Alphaville heeft het statement van Venizelos vertaald:
This is a time of difficult decisions. We have to choose between difficult decisions and decisions even more difficult. We unfortunately have to choose between sacrifice and even greater sacrifices in incomparably more dearly. We have to choose between humiliation suffered by a country, one nation and proud history and even greater humiliation that would have to suffer if the illusion that we keep our pride and our dignity, lead to solutions that are much larger social, economic and institutional cost. Cost for each citizen, for every family, every business. He spent longer the era of demagoguery, ease and hallucinations. Now we must make decisions.
De Griekse krant Ekathimerini over het ‘nee’ van Laos:
The creditors are asking for 40 years of submission, Karatzaferis told a press conference. “Greece will not give itself up,” he said, adding that “Greece can survive outside the EU but cannot survive under a German boot.” Insisting that the creditors' insistence on cuts to auxiliary pensions had been the last straw, he said that had the cuts passed, the leader of the mission of the International Monetary Fund in Greece, Poul Thomsen, would be 'persona non grata' in the country.
