    Nobody would have read that very, very long background paper, two papers behind the question of today. And they'll be voting more in terms of passion rather than logic.

  4. 'Not the same rights'published at 08.40

    Another Athens voter, Ioannis Nikolaou, disagreed: 

    Quote Message

    I voted for Tsipras and want to vote 'No' because I've lived in Europe and know what rights Europeans and Greeks have. For that reason alone. They don't have the same rights.

  5. 'Work together'published at 08.36

    Nikolaos Papadopoulos, a voter in Athens, told the Associated Press news agency that he voted "Yes":

    Quote Message

    Usually, when we have Greek elections all this material, all these papers, they come by boats. But due to the fact that this referendum took place in a very short time, they had to use the army helicopters and each island got all these boxes by helicopter.

    Quote Message

    We are very concerned about the well-being of our fellow countrymen in Greece, but also very proud of their courage, that they've shown in the face of such adversity, enduring the world's worst recession, and also standing up to this, kind of, bullying activity that's going on from Europe right now. We are very proud indeed of the courage and absolute resistance that's been shown to policies that have been proven to be a failure in Greece.
