Greek Community of Melbourne Calls for Support of the Greek People

greek-community-centreThe Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) has called for a renewed focus on securing a deal for the Greek people and has called on Australian authorities to take a stance in support of a resolution, following the Greek referendum result overnight.

GCM President Bill Papastergiadis said of the referendum that “it presented the Greek Government with a resounding approval of its negotiating position. It did not however confirm as some analysts are claiming a Greek desire to leave Europe or stop using the Euro.” Papastergiadis also went on to challenge the common misconception that the referendum had anything to do with Greece’s position in Europe.

“Despite the ‘No’ vote in the referendum, the Greek government and Greek people’s position on remaining in Europe and with the Euro are both unequivocally ‘yes.’”

Greek Centre Director Jorge Menidis continued the call for IMF Governor, Joe Hockey and the Australian Commonwealth to play a bigger part in encouraging a debt relief driven solution for the Greek state.

“The IMF’s own report late last week spoke of the need for debt relief to allow the Greek state to get back onto the path of growth” said Menidis.

“Solutions must be sought to stop Greece’s youth, its educated masses and experienced workforce abandoning it to get away from the stifling measures the average Greek citizen faces.”
