The fifth of July 2015.A beautifully sunny day,which is a good omen.A historic day.One whose outcome will have repercussions yet unknown to us, but will undoubtedly be studied by students of the future.The referendum day, a day the Greeks will have to make an important choice regarding the future of their country.Already the past few days, the people in favour of Yes heavily criticed the people in favour of No.Other voices said that no one should vote because either way the country will suffer dire consequences, which is not something unknown.The government itself publicly stated it is so. Whatever each of us should decide is their own personal choice, which no one has the right to deny him.9.855.029 make up the electorate body, of which 108.371 are youngsters who have just turned 18.This is the first time for them to vote.I should hope that everyone will use their right to express their opinion on the question at hand and not allow anyone to sway their opinions in any way. So, my point -and sincere hope-is that whether one voted Yes or No, when the results are finalised and announced, the country will not be swept by a tide of accusations,negativity and darkness.Let's make a change for once in our history and remain united no matter what the outcome.If History is to judge us on the repercussions of our decisions today, let's make History and fight whatever is to come from Monday on in a spirit of unity, brotherhood and determination -as one. With love and light, Lia
