Greece: 'Yes' voters rally in support of austerity and EU membership

Thousands of people gathered outside the Greek Olympic Stadium in Athens, Friday, to show their support for a yes vote in Sunday's referendum. Greeks supportive of implementing the austerity measures imposed by the 'troika' institutions in exchange for an economic bailout waved flags reading "Yes" as well as Greek and European Union flags. At the same time as the "Yes" rally, thousands of "No" campaign supporters gathered in front of the Greek Parliament in Syntagma Square and were addressed by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. The Greek people will hold a referendum on Sunday 5 to decide whether to accept the austerity measures requested by the so-called "troika" (IMF, ECB, EC). 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.
