I thought Greece had run out of money – how can it afford a referendum?

It can’t really. The Greek government said the referendum will cost €20m, but the real cost is likely to be more like €120m in distributing ballot papers and paying election monitors.

Meanwhile Greeks may struggle to afford to travel to the region in which they were born to vote, just five months after they last voted. This is at a time when the transport sector is struggling because people have limited access to cash.

What are they voting on?

The vote is on whether the Greek people want to accept the budget cuts set out by the three lending bodies set out on June 25 in return for aid.

Unofficially, it has become about whether Greece still wants to be part of the Eurozone.
