“The government has a few hours to correct a huge mistake. The Greek aid program expires on Tuesday night. We will be left unprotected from the attacks of speculators and all those who want Greece outside the European Union. The country is being abandoned by its allies and traditional friends. Europe has made its own mistakes, especially these last years of the Memorandums, but this is not a good reason to leave one of the safest “ports” in the world.
Even the Chinese Prime Minister urged us to remain in the European Union. This is what the Greek people will decide on Sunday. We will not become the beggars in the region of the Balkans. “YES” to Europe will win. And, in the first line of defense, will be standing our boys and girls, who do not want Greece to turn into North Korea. We challenge Mr. Tsipras to find the courage and tell the truth to the Greek people. To leave behind opportunism. I challenge him to withdraw the referendum and conclude a deal with the European Union. We should reach a solution, while we are still alive. Or else, the punishment for those that inspired and executed the anti-European deviation will be severe".
