"Greece's future hangs on 72 words". Everything now is really hanging on how Greece votes and the wording of the referendum and this is a good overview of the referendum itself and what role the language used might have. Aa they ready for a vote and face issues about getting ballots out and to every voter, Europe warns that a no vote will leave Greece isolated despite Tsipras' faith it will give him greater negotiating power. Furthermore, Greece has confirmed that they will not make their payment tomorrow putting them in arrears and intensifying the crisis.
Turning to the background - where did the bailout money go? This is a fascinating read and illustrates why so many Greeks continue to struggle despite the bailout. And these two pieces argue that Greece need to stop licking their wounds and face up to reality - Europe shouldn't ignore Greek Humiliation according to this article but must face up to the fact the Syriza failed - do you agree with this or have them been crushed by the European Neolibral consensus? Finally a Guardian piece getting the views of 100 Greek people, well worth a read.
