Greece debt: Greeks prepare for bailout(베일아웃-긴급구제)
referendum(레퍼‘렌덤:국민투표)
Is Greece's exit from the euro inevitable(인‘에비터블:불가피한)?
Millions of Greeks are preparing to vote in a crucial referendum
on whether to accept the terms of an international bailout.
Polling stations(투표소) are due to open at 07:00 local time
(04:00 GMT-Greenwich Mean Time :본초자오선,그리니치 자오선),
with the first results expected on Sunday evening.
The end of a frenetic(프레‘너틱:부산한) week
of campaigning saw huge rallies(집회) on Friday.
The government has urged voters to vote "No",
but opponents warn this could see Greece ejected from the eurozone.
'Spreading fear'
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis told local media on Saturday
that the EU had "no legal grounds(법적 근거)"
to throw Greece out of the euro.
On the eve of the referendum,
he accused Athens' creditors(크레‘디터:채권자)
of trying to sow(써우:씨를 뿌리다)
fear around the vote. Speaking to Spain's El Mundo newspaper,
he said: "Why did they force us to close the banks?
To instil(인스틸‘:불어넣다) fear in people. And spreading fear is called terrorism."
Mr Varoufakis said Greek banks would reopen on Tuesday, whatever the outcome of the vote
Meanwhile, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble,
one of Greece's harshest critics(비판자), suggested
that if Greece were to leave the eurozone, it might only be temporary.
"Greece is a member of the eurozone. There's no doubt about that," he told German newspaper Bild.
"Whether with the euro or temporarily without it: only the Greeks can answer this question. And it is clear that we will not leave the people in the lurch(러치:휘청하다,휘청임)."
Tight race(비등한 경주)
Greece's current bailout programme(프로그램) with the European Commission, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB) ran out on Tuesday.
Banks have been shut all week, with limits imposed on(부과된) cash withdrawals.
Mr Varoufakis has said that the banks in Greece would reopen on Tuesday whatever the outcome and that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras would still reach an agreement with creditors if the result was "No" in the referendum.
Ballot paper question
"Must the agreement plan submitted by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund to the Eurogroup of 25 June, 2015, and comprised of(~으로 구성된) two parts which make up their joint proposal, be accepted? The first document is titled "reforms for the completion(컴플리‘션:완성,완료) of the current programme and beyond" and the second "Preliminary(프릴’리미너리:예비의) debt sustainability(지속가능성) analysis".
Voters must check one of two boxes - "not approved/no" or, below it, "approved/yes"
Voices from a Greek island
The question that makes (almost) no sense
Mr Tsipras told supporters Greece needed to "say a proud 'No' to [European] ultimatums(최후통첩)" to sign up to fresh austerity(오스테‘러티:내핍상태,내핍생활).
He also used similar language to Mr Varoufakis, urging Greeks to say no to "the campaign of terror".
He denied a "No" vote would mean leaving the European Union - though opponents said they believed Mr Tsipras could not deliver on such a promise.
Capital controls(자본통제) have been in place in Greece over the past week
Electoral(일렉‘트로럴:선거의) workers have been racing to get polling stations ready in time, with army helicopters being used instead of boats to rush ballot papers(발’럿페이퍼:투표용지) to the islands.
Greece's left-wing Syriza government was elected in January on an anti-austerity platform.
The European Commission, the European Union's executive arm - one of the "troika" of creditors along with the International Monetary Fund and the ECB - wants Athens to raise taxes and slash(슬래쉬:대폭 줄이다) welfare spending to meet its debt obligations(오블리게‘이션:의무).
Lenders(대출기관)' proposals: Key sticking(스티‘킹:끈적거림) points
◾VAT (sales tax): Alexis Tsipras accepts a new three-tier system, but wants to keep 30% discount on the Greek islands' VAT rates. Lenders want the islands' discounts scrapped(스크랩트:조각,조금남은 음식)
◾Pensions(펜‘션:연금): Ekas(사회연대보조제도) top-up(추가지불:일정수준까지 꾸준히 높여가는 방식) grant(승인하다) for some 200,000 poorer pensioners will be phased out(단계적으로 폐지하다) by 2020 - as demanded by lenders. But Mr Tsipras says no to immediate Ekas cut for the wealthiest 20% of Ekas recipients(리’시펀트:수령인)
◾Defence: Mr Tsipras says reduce ceiling(실‘링:천장, ~의 최대한계) for military spending by €200m in 2016 and €400m in 2017. Lenders call for €400m reduction - no mention of €200m
