On July 5, the Greek people backed their young, charismatic leader with a decisive “No” vote on the unreasonable demands of their country’s creditors. Their decision will one day be recognized as a victory for Europe over those who preferred to carve up the eurozone, rather than give Greece the chance to start anew within it.
齐普拉斯对上述挑衅的态度明确而又连贯：即希腊必须留在欧元区，但同时需要新的财政开始。7月5日，希腊民众投票支持他们年轻、有魅力的领袖，对债权人的无理要求果断说“不”。他们的决定总有一天会被当做欧洲抗击欧元区分裂势力的胜利，而不仅仅是给希腊在欧元区内重新开始的机会。
