The Greeks, as well as everyone in EU, are waiting to see if the leaders of the three main parties can agree to form a government and avoid elections that would further aggravate the crisis. But for now, they seem rather more preoccupied with ensuring their own political futures. 
In response to the dissent of his people, the Greek Prime Minister has chosen to organise a referendum instead of calling for early general elections. His bid to safeguard his future will mean that the Greek population will faced with a simplistic choice. 
Now that anger with the country's political class and its austerity budget has brought thousands of demonstrators onto the streets, the Greek government must act if it is to avoid "an unprecedented crisis," urges columnist Giorgos Delastik. 
To Ethnos argues that the austerity measures to reduce public spending and the national deficit announced by the Greek government in response to demands from its financial backers – the IMF and the European Union – are not only brutal and unprecedented, but also unjust.
