Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Lisbon on Saturday, in solidarity with Greek 'No' voters, ahead of Greece's bailout referendum on Sunday. Protesters marched to the country's European Union headquarters, waving Greek flags and holding 'Oxi' banners. The rally comes as the Greek people are set to hold a referendum on July 5 to decide whether to accept the austerity measures requested by the so-called "Troika" (IMF, ECB, EC). The Greek government closed the country's banks on Monday, as well as imposing limits on cash withdrawals until July 6. A 'No' vote by the Greek people would reject new austerity measures that are demanded by Greece's creditors, while a 'Yes' would accept the institutions' conditions for a new Greek bailout package.
