Greek
lawmakers on Sunday authorized Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' proposed July 5th
bailout referendum, setting Greece on course for a plebiscite that has enraged
international creditors and increased Greece's chances of exiting the euro
zone.
Greeks are
due to vote on whether to accept or reject the latest terms offered by
creditors to Athens in order to unlock billions of euros in bailout funds.
European
partners have reacted negatively to the announcement of the referendum. On
Saturday, they rejected a request by Tsipras to extend the current bailout in
order to cover the period leading up to the referendum. The rejection means
Athens is likely to default on a key payment to the International Monetary Fund
on Tuesday.
