Greece Votes “No” to Bailout
希臘否決救助協議
In a historic referendum on Sunday, Greek voters said “No” to an international bailout. Greece has been in an economic crisis since 2009, and has been unable to make recent loan payments. The government asked the public to vote “No” so that it could continue talks with its international creditors. Financial analysts say that a “No” vote could force Greece out of the Eurozone and possibly even out of the European Union. If Greece abandons the euro, it will go back to having its own currency and its own central bank. Banks in Greece have been closed for over a week, and citizens have had limited access to funds through bank machines. Unemployment in Greece is currently at 26%.
周日,在一次具有歷史意義的公投中,希臘選民對國際救助協議說“不”。自從2009年起,希臘就一直深陷經濟危機當中,并無力償還貸款。政府要求民眾選擇否決票,這樣希臘就有望繼續與國際債權人進行談判。金融分析師稱否決票將有可能讓希臘被迫退出歐元區,甚至將有可能脫離歐盟。如果希臘放棄歐元,那么希臘將重新使用本國貨幣,以及自己的中央銀行。一個多星期以來,希臘的多家銀行處于關閉狀態,民眾只能通過銀行取款機來存取有限的資金。目前,希臘的失業率為26%。
