European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Friday in Luxembourg that the Greek government's position will be weakened if there is a "no" vote in Greece's Sunday referendum.
Juncker made the remarks at a press conference after his cabinet head to Luxembourg to mark the beginning of the duchy's presidency of the bloc.
"If Greece vote 'no', the Greek position will be dramatically weak," he made a short response to a journalist's question.
"Even in the case of a 'yes' vote, we (still) have to face many difficulties in negotiations," he said.

Grèce : le référendum de tous les dangers...
ReplyDeleteQuel que soit le résultat du scrutin de ce dimanche en Grèce, il ouvre une nouvelle phase de graves incertitudes pour la Grèce.
La dernière fois que les Grecs ont été invités à se prononcer par référendum, c’était en 1974 et il s’agissait alors de trancher, après la chute du régime des colonels, entre la monarchie et la république, cette dernière l’ayant largement emporté avec près de 70% des voix.
