Government officials revealed on Wednesday that if Greek citizens vote “Yes” in the July 5 referendum on the international creditors’ proposed bailout deal, the Greek government will put its signature without any hesitation.
The Greek officials argued that if the referendum’s result is “Yes,” the agreement will not need to be ratified by the Greek Parliament because only the government’s signature is required.
After the process, the agreement’s laws will pass to the Parliament. In this case, the Greek government’s only obligation will be the enforcement of the aforementioned laws and parliamentary elections will be held in September 2015.
However, the government officials still believe that Greek voters’ negative response will prevail during Sunday’s ballot. Greek government will then “immediately return to the negotiation table and continue with the text of convergences that already exists, keeping in mind the popular mandate to continue with an even tougher negotiation stance.”
