The Chairman of the European Council Donald Tusk called on Tuesday evening, July 7, an emergency Summit of the European Union to discuss the consequences of a referendum in Greece. The politician wrote about this on his Twitter.

According to the Electoral Service of the Greek Ministry of Internal Affairs, following the processing of 100 percent of the ballots, at the Sunday of the referendum, 61.31 percent voters opposed the measures of strict savings, the adoption of which international creditors achieve from the country. Accordingly, 38.69 percent of voters supported these measures. The turnout amounted to 68.5 percent of citizens. 5.8 percent of the ballots were invalid.

Greece Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who initiated the referendum, said, according to the results of the vote, that the country's citizens made a "bold choice", rejecting the requirements of international creditors. “The powers that were endowed with me not aimed at breaking up with Europe, but at strengthening the position of Greece in an attempt to achieve a viable solution,” he emphasized at the same time.

Tsipras also turned to the country's president Prokopis Pavlopulos with a call to convene the Council of Political Leaders to develop a common position. “We need to create a strong national front,” the prime minister explained. Pavlopoulos supported the initiative.

Meanwhile, as Reuters reports , the leader of the largest opposition party in Greece, New Democracy, former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, after the referendum, resigned. “Our party needs a new start,” he explained such a decision.

On Monday morning, Yanis Varufakis, the head of the country's Ministry of Finance, announced the resignation. “Soon after the announcement of the referendum results, I was informed that some members of the Eurogroup and the“ partners ”associated with them would prefer to meet without me. The Prime Minister considered this idea potentially useful to reach an agreement,” the minister explained such a decision.

According to the BBC, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande agreed in a telephone conversation that the will of the Greek people should be respected. Meanwhile, the head of the European group, the Minister of Finance of the Netherlands Yerun Deisselblum called the result of the vote "very sad" for the future Greece. “To restore the Greek economy, complex solutions and reforms are needed,” he remarked. “Now we will wait for the initiatives of the Greek authorities.”

Greece has not fulfilled the next payment on the loan of the International Monetary Fund. The term of payment with a volume of 1.5 billion euros expired on Tuesday. Now the country will be able to receive funding from the International Monetary Fund only after it pays off its debt. The non -fulfillment of Greece obligations to the IMF is the "case of default", announced on Friday the European Fund of Financial Stability. At the same time, the EFS decided "not to demand the immediate repayment of loans" from Athens.

On July 1, Tsipras said that Athens agree to support all the changes proposed by creditors in the VAT system, with the exception of one. Tsipras announced the need to maintain a special benefit for the islands - a 30 percent deduction from VAT. In addition, he asked to postpone the process of a process, which implies the increase by 2022 of retirement age to 67 years until October. Tsipras also agreed with a decrease in pension allowances, but asked to reduce them gradually.
