Greece today - George Papandreou calls referendum on EU deal / Η Ελλάδα σήμερα - Γιώργος Παπανδρέου ζητά δημοψήφισμα για την ΕΕ αφορούν


From: Euronews  | Nov 1, 2011
http://www.euronews.net/ The Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou has called a referendum on a new EU aid package to ask voters whether they want it or not.

A "no" vote could throw the question of the country's solvency up in the air again, raising more serious questions for the euro zone.

The prime minister said a referendum was the "highest form of democracy" and would allow the people to decide.

He also said a vote of no-confidence would be held, but ruled out elections. No date was set but the referendum should take place in the next few weeks.

Ο Έλληνας Πρωθυπουργός Γιώργος Παπανδρέου ζήτησε δημοψήφισμα για ένα νέο πακέτο βοήθειας της ΕΕ να ζητήσει από τους ψηφοφόρους είτε το θέλουν είτε όχι.

Ένα «όχι» θα μπορούσε να ρίξει το ζήτημα της φερεγγυότητας της χώρας στον αέρα και πάλι, αυξάνοντας περισσότερο σοβαρά ερωτήματα για τη ζώνη του ευρώ.

Ο πρωθυπουργός είπε ότι το δημοψήφισμα ήταν η «ανώτερη μορφή δημοκρατίας" και θα επιτρέψει στο λαό να αποφασίσει.

Είπε επίσης σε ψήφο μη εμπιστοσύνης θα διεξαχθεί, αλλά απέκλεισε τις εκλογές. Δεν ορίστηκε ημερομηνία, αλλά το δημοψήφισμα θα πρέπει να πραγματοποιηθεί μέσα στις επόμενες εβδομάδες.
