The Greek parliament has approved the holding of a referendum on the claims of the creditors of the debt-ridden country. For the referendum voted in the early hours of Sunday in Athens 178 of 300 deputies. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had previously campaigned for the referendum and called on the population to a “big no” to the claims of creditors.

The planned for next Sunday Referendum should the Greeks a “big no to ultimatum” the creditors say Tsipras called for in Parliament. At the same time they should say “a great ‘yes’ to Europe and to solidarity”. The Prime Minister expressed his conviction that the negotiating position of Greece would be strengthened to creditors by a “proud no.”

According to the official result voted 120 deputies against the referendum, two did not participate in the vote. For the government’s plan voted next Tsipras’ Syriza party also deputies of their right-wing populist ally Party of Independent Greeks and the neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn. The Conservatives and the Socialists voted against the Communists and the centrist Potami Party were against the referendum.

In the referendum the Greeks to decide if they accept the demanded by creditors in return for new aids austerity measures or not. It is based on a submitted on Friday to Athens joint list of demands from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank (ECB) and European Commission. According to Tsipras, among other “unacceptable” points This looks like pension cuts and an increase in the VAT on food before.

The outcome of the referendum seems uncertain. In two held before the referendum announcement surveys, the majority of Greeks argued for an agreement with creditors. Thus voted on the question “How would you vote if there is a referendum?” 47.2 for an agreement and 33 percent opposed. Almost 20 per cent were in the poll for the weekly newspaper “Vima” undecided.

Tsipras announced the referendum surprising in the early hours of Saturday. He snubbed the other euro countries. Because the referendum is planned for next Sunday – an agreement would have to be found until Tuesday evening at the latest. Given the euro zone finance ministers decided that Athens should be turned off the money tap. At a special meeting in Brussels they refused on Saturday to extend the expiring June 30 aid program for Athens from.

Thus the fate of the heavily indebted country seems to be sealed. Without additional funding may Greece on Tuesday due loans to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the amount of EUR 1.5 billion does not settle, it threatens bankruptcy.

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU) sees in the coming days” acute problems “in Greece come. There had been high last withdrawals from Greek banks and this had “pointedly again dramatically” on Saturday. He also announced the evening in Brussels that the euro countries “will do everything possible to combat any possible risk of infection”. A repeated Summit of Heads of State and Government before Tuesday he described in the ARD but “in view of temporal sequences” as “quite inconceivable”.

The blame for the failure of negotiations was Schäuble the Greek government: “This is the sole responsibility of the government in Athens,” he said in Brussels. By contrast, the Spanish Left Party Podemos rose violent allegations against Germany and the IMF. Some European countries and the IMF wanted “Greece the air cut off and teach a lesson”, party leader Pablo Iglesias said Saturday evening in Madrid. “The IMF and the German Government access to the democracy. They are destroying the European political project.”
