It
is well fitting for the cradle of democracy to call for a national
referendum on an issue that will impact the future of all citizens of
Greece. A leadership that puts the destiny of the nation in her own
hands is strong since it understands what democracy means at its
core: The rule of the people. We urge all the people in Greece who
have the right to vote to add their voice to this historical moment
by voting for what they believe is right.
Many
countries in the developing world have been put up against the wall
by international creditors and their guardian, the IMF. The Troika
is applying the same inhuman methods towards Greece. The austerity
imposed in the last few years on Greece is unfair, unsustainable and
impossible and not to be tolerated. As economists from around the
world have empathized, the Greek economy collapsed, not the least
because of those very austerity measures.
The EU & the IMF have overreached, don't listen to their fear mongering.

Dear
people of Greece shape your future on your terms, we will support you
no matter what you choose to do.
