Here's a video of what is ACTUALLY happening in Greece.

Buzzfeed article: http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/thousands-of-greeks-march-for-a-no-vote-on-austerity-measure#.dib44B7g4

"

Following months of negotiations between the left-wing Syriza-led government and international institutions, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has called an all-or-nothing referendum for this Sunday on whether to accept the imposition of further austerity measures in return for access to much-needed funding that would ensure the country remains solvent.

Tsipras is campaigning for a No vote and a rejection of the proposals, a move other European countries warn could spell the end of Greece’s European Union membership. But most people at Monday’s demonstration said they were driven to reject the deal out of desperation, even though many insisted they would hate to leave the EU or stop using the euro as their currency.

Protesters, mainly drawn from the far-left support base of the ruling Syriza party, portrayed the EU as a faceless bureaucratic institution making ordinary Greeks suffer.

Can't we have one big thread for the Greek crisis instead of 10 different ones? :saladga:

Using "Russia Today" as a source though :neyde:

It's not my fault, no European media is covering any of this! 

I use it in order to see what is happening nevermind what the Russians are saying , I didnt listen to the video just for the visuals...

A protest in Greece is no news. Just like a new deadline is no news, and how a date that Greece will default is no news.

The video shown puts an emphasis on the 'no'-side. I think RT isn't very objective. The protest aren't really special, I just hope it will stay peaceful.

If I were a Greek I'd vote yes, but I think that Greece leaving the Eurozone would be more beneficial for the economies of the rest of the Eurozone.
