Saturday, June 27: Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras calls a referendum on whether or not to accept the terms of the latest round of bailout aid. His wife Dimitra distrusts both the Yes and the No campaigns and doesn’t plan to vote in Sunday’s momentous referendum.

Varoufakis also believes there is “100% chance of success” in negotiations with lenders after the Sunday referendum.

He said it would make sense for Greece’s creditors to compensate the country if a “yes” vote prevails by easing austerity, earmarking more developments funds and finding ways to alleviate the debt burden without necessarily resorting to write-offs.

A statement from Tsipras’ office said: “The prime minister presented three leaders [with] Greece’s proposal for a mutually beneficial agreement that will give a definitive solution and not a postponement of addressing the problem”.

Repeating his assault on European partners he accused of blackmailing and issuing ultimatums to Greece, the leftist leader called for calm.

I would imagine Greek voters are pretty confused as well.
