van BÁRMI jelentősége a szavazásnak?
úgyan úgy tartoznak, ugyan úgy meg kell adni

80% of the Greek bailout funds went directly into loan payments to European Union banks. All that public tax payer money from across Europe has been laundered through Greece into the coffers of private banks, along with all the Greek money being collected from loan payments and tax hikes the "bailout" funds didn't cover.

Many of these young people have never once voted for any of the governments which have done this but now they're being told they have some kind of duty to spend most of their lives repaying debts that other people ran up and that they have some kind of duty to creditors that loaned money to irresponsible strangers.

George Hampsas, a 22-year-old mechanical engineering student at the National Technical University of Athens, said his vote of "no" will be a vote of confidence in Greece.
Bulletin boards around his campus are filled with advertisements for jobs in Germany, England and Dubai -- but never in Greece, he said. He believes voting "yes" for more austerity would do little for Greece's job growth. And he wants to build his career in his home country rather than be part of his generation's brain drain.
"'No' is not an easy answer, but with 'yes' we are doomed," Hampsas said. "At least with a strong 'no' there will be a crack of light in the window, a possibility for a future."

Twenty-four-year-old Apostolia Gkika, who is unemployed and finished her master's degree last year, said she will cast her "no" vote in favor of "dignity and solidarity."
"I will fight for that," she said, adding that austerity created poverty in Greece and other European nations that suffered during the crisis. "We are part of a wave that is trying to change Europe. It will catch on in Spain and Portugal and other countries."

Like so many other Millennials, Georganta feels her life has been stalled by Greece's seven-year financial crisis. She views Sunday's referendum as a chance to challenge the institutions controlling the terms of Greek debt relief -- or, as she put it, "to take our fate into our own hands."
"Our future is unsure," said Georganta, who can't afford to move out of her parents' home despite the long hours she works as a hotel receptionist. "Everyone I know is taking antidepressant pills. I will vote no, for dignity and democracy."
