Demonstration warnings after Greece votes ‘no’ to rescue package
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has warned holidaymakers of an increase in demonstrations after Greece rejected the conditions of a rescue package.
In yesterday’s referendum, Greece voted 61% ‘No’ against the reform proposals from its creditors.
Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis resigned today saying he had been ‘made aware’ that some members of the euro zone considered him unwelcome at meetings of finance ministers.
European leaders have called a summit for Tuesday to discuss their next move.
Without more emergency funding from the European Central Bank, Greece’s banks could run out of money within days after a week of rising desperation as banks shut and cash machines emptied, reports the BBC.
The FCO travel advice said: "The government campaigned strongly for a ‘No’ vote, rejecting the proposals. The result of the referendum was 39% ‘Yes’ in support of the proposals and 61% ‘No’ against.
"During the referendum campaign there were a number of rallies by supporters on both sides of the debate. There is a risk of further economic difficulties and demonstrations.
