Greece Votes “No” to Bailout
希腊否决救助协议
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,在一次具有历史意义的公投中,希腊选民对国际救助协议说“不”。自从2009年起,希腊就一直深陷经济危机当中,并无力偿还贷款。政府要求民众选择否决票,这样希腊就有望继续与国际债权人进行谈判。金融分析师称否决票将有可能让希腊被迫退出欧元区,甚至将有可能脱离欧盟。如果希腊放弃欧元,那么希腊将重新使用本国货币,以及自己的中央银行。一个多星期以来,希腊的多家银行处于关闭状态,民众只能通过银行取款机来存取有限的资金。目前,希腊的失业率为26%。
