But while there is concern for some, for others there is resignation and relief:
“I don’t think a referendum is such a bad idea,” said one woman to Euronews, “at last we have a prime minister who is asking our opinion. There is no need to be so upset about it.”
For some, there is a sense of irony about the decision to call a referendum.“Syriza did not support calls for a referendum in 2012,” one man pointed out, “now, all of a sudden, it is the right thing to do. It is logical that people are upset by the decision, it is not unusual.”
Others are realistic about the situation:“If we had the power on our own, as the Greek nation, to resist then I would say let’s do that. But we don’t have that power. There must be a real negotiation, a real conversation in order to stay in the Eurozone and in the EU.”
