“Dear Greeks, today’s referendum doesn’t have winners and losers, it is a big victory by itself.Today, altogether, we wrote a glorious page in European history, we proved that even in theworst circumstance democracy cannot be blackmailed.

Because in those circumstances, not only would millions ofGreeks lose their savings, but companies would collapse, and Greece will run out of vitalimport of food, raw materials and medicine. Greek banks are desperately in need of lender’slast resort to save them and Greek economy. And no bank or central bank have much spokenthe relieves, the European central bank can’t any longer fulfill that function. ”
