THE GREEK CRISIS: AN INSIDE VIEW

The referendum in Greece stunned most of the Greek media who did not expect a landslide victory for the “No” side. After one week of capital controls, with banks not opening and long queues at the ATMs to extract a daily allowance of 60 Euros, many thought that the result would be much, much closer. But despite these measures, which, it was thought, would promote caution among voters, the “No” vote apparently soared in the last few days. Now, a lot of people think that it was exactly this kind of pressure that made many Greeks swing to the “No” side.
