Greece could be facing a euro referendum

Greece may have to call referendum

Greece could call a referendum or have early elections should its eurozone partners reject its debt and growth plans, Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis said in a newspaper interview yesterday.

The new Greek government, led by Alexis Tsipras, won an election in January promising to renegotiate a bailout agreed with the International Monetary Fund and its European Union partners that requires strict budget discipline and sweeping economic reforms.
