“The day after the referendum I will be in Brussels and an agreement will be signed" within 48 hours of the vote. Regardless of the result. The Greek premier said so yesterday evening Alexis Tsipras to the broadcaster Ant1, underlining that the victory of the NO will allow a "sustainable solution" for Greece, because "this agreement can be the bad agreement they propose to us or a better one: the stronger the no, the better the agreement will be".
If instead the Yes vote prevails, Tsipras has assured that he would initiate "the procedures envisaged by the Constitution" to ensure that the EU, ECB and IMF proposal becomes law. The premier also said that he will not put his "armchair" over the "interests of the nation", suggesting that he could resign if the YES win, as he had said with more explicit words a few hours earlier the Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.
Meanwhile, it is expected for today the response of the Greek Council of State on the constitutionality of Sunday's referendum, following the appeal presented by two Greek citizens, who argue that the consultation violates article 44 of the Constitution, which excludes referendums on issues involving "the state's financial situation". Also under accusation is the unclear language with which the question was formulated, since a Greek law of 2011 explicitly requests a clear formulation of the referendum questions.
