Jean-Claude Juncker
EU chief executive Jean-Claude Juncker
urged Greeks on Monday to back a cash-for-reform package rejected by
their government, saying a ‘no’ vote in Sunday’s referendum would mean
Greece was turning its back on the European Union.
Following a breakdown of talks between Athens and its creditors,
Juncker delivered a withering criticism of the Greek government which
called the referendum and which advised Greeks to vote against creditor
proposals.
“The whole planet would consider a Greek ‘no’ to the question posed…
as meaning that Greece wants to distance itself from the euro zone and
from Europe.” he told a news conference.
“I will say to the Greeks who I love deeply: you mustn’t commit
suicide because you are afraid of death…. You must vote yes,
independently of the question asked.”
