From a statement of CP Greece (KKE):
The governmental majority of SYRIZA-ANEL rejected the proposal of the
KKE for the government’s draft agreement to also be placed before the
people in the referendum. The forces of the KKE outside the election
centres handed out its own ballot paper to the voters which said:
No to the proposal of the EU-IMF-ECB
No to the proposal of the government
Disengagement from the EU, with the people in power
Of course, it was understood that this ballot paper would be counted as
a spoiled ballot. The final results were the following:
Spoiled 5.8%
No 57.8%
Yes 38.7%
Also, the abstention rate was 37.5%
After the announcement of the result, D. Koutsoumpas, the GS of the CC
of the KKE saluted the thousands of people who responded to the call of
the KKE. The GS addressed himself in particular to those who chose NO.
The KKE extends its hand to them for the struggles against the
deterioration of their lives that will begin the day after the
referendum. The KKE issued a similar militant call to those who chose
YES due to fear about closed banks and fear of the consequences for
their salaries, pensions and small savings.
The KKE notes that the negotiations promised by Mr Tsipras, based on his
proposal, will inevitably lead to a new worse memorandum.
