    Pantelis, Skiathos, Greece:

    I strongly believe that the whole Greek financial situation is only a game for all sides. I am not trying to blame only whoever stands against ourselves the Greeks, but both sides. Events have led to a poker game that has ended up with the referendum that we have today. The main problem with this referendum is that it's divided the Greeks into two sides, the 'Yes' side and the 'No' side. Which one will win? I think that none.

    It's also worth remembering that earlier this week he said banks would reopen on Tuesday in the event of a 'No' vote.
