Greeks vote in referendum
Sunday, 5 July 2015
Greeks voted on Sunday whether to accept or reject the tough terms of an aid offer to stave off financial collapse, in a referendum that may determine their future in Europe’s common currency. Held against a backdrop of default, shuttered banks and threats of financial apocalypse, the vote was too close to call and looked certain to herald yet more turbulence whichever way it went. The country of 11 million people is deeply divided over whether to accept an offer by international donors to lift it out of bankruptcy, according to a news agency.
