Potami leader Theodorakis calls for unity government after referendum

“Our proposal for Sunday night: A government of national unity with the participation of SYRIZA. I want to believe that the prime minister will behave responsibly and will not make the next fatal mistake of resort to elections in August,” Theodorakis said.

Speaking to the people who are considering voting ‘no’ on Sunday, the leader of Potami said Europeans would interpret it as one more step by Greece to disengage from Europe. He said many mistakes have been made by all sides in the past five years but anger does not help someone make the right decisions.

“There are no magical solutions. The easier a solution seems, the faker it is,” Theodorakis warned, adding that he shares people’s fear for what the next day will bring.

“A ‘yes’ is the big break with the old habits which are followed by the new government ... The banks must open on Tuesday, to allow the market to operate again,” he noted. “Please, don’t cut the last rope connecting us with Europe,” he said, reminding people that Alexis Tsipras is left without any allies in Europe, as socialists and leaders from southern European nations are asking Greeks to vote ‘yes’.

Theodorakis also urged all Greeks not to divide.
