Following yesterday's demonstration in support of the government of SYRIZA and Independent Greeks and today's failed attempt to reach an agreement with the creditors at the level of the Eurogroup, thousands of Greeks are out in Syntagma Square to firmly declare that Greece belongs to the European Union and the euro area.

"Creditors would suffer much more than Greece in the event of Grexit. People should not worry. We would have difficulties for several months but then everything would be fine," said Deputy Minister for Social Security Dimitris Stratoulis.

It seems that, aiming to achieve an agreement, the European Commission and the European Central Bank are discussing a Greek debt relief plan, which is the main demand of Alexis Tsipras’ government.

The reason is the warning by Yiannis Stournaras that Grexit threatens Greece if no agreement is reached.
