Will Greece's Banks Open On Monday? (Update: Greek Banks And Stock Market Will Stay Closed On Monday)



Daily Mail: Shock vote on terms of bailout pushes Greek banks to the brink of meltdown as long queues form at country's cashpoints

* Eurozone finance ministers have refused a Greek request to extend its bailout programme
* The current programme expires on June 30, and will not be continued
* Finance ministers are continuing emergency meetings in Brussels without Greece to decide the consequences
* Hundreds rushed to ATMs across the country, after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called for a referendum on the bailout at 1am Greek time

Greek banks were on the brink of meltdown last night after the shock announcement that its crisis-hit government would hold a referendum on the terms of a fresh international bailout.

Long queues formed outside the country’s cashpoints after prime minister Alexis Tsipras accused the International Monetary Fund and eurozone of trying to blackmail his country – and pledged to give the Greek people the final say in a vote next weekend.

Mr Tsipras described the bailout plan as ‘humiliation’, condemned ‘unbearable’ austerity measures demanded by creditors and said he would campaign for a ‘no’ result.
