Greece’s president of the republic, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, is expected to sign a decree allowing for a referendum next Sunday allowing voters to vote on the last proposal supposedly tabled by creditors to the radical leftist government.

1 a.m. PM A. Tsipras, in a TV address, described proposals from Greece’s creditors as “humiliation” and “unbearable” – He said that the proposals would be put to a referendum for the Greek people to decide on July 5.

Main opposition New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras was critical of the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government’s decision to call a referendum. Waving the Greek government’s offer of proposals to creditors he pointed out that there were eight points more than the controversial “Hardouvelis e-mail” that the government had opposed.

Greek conservative opposition leader Antonis Samaras will hold talks with the country's president on Sunday, the president's office said, after opposition parties condemned the government's call for a referendum.

Main opposition New Democracy and socialist PASOK are reportedly considering tabling a no confidence vote in Parliament against the SYRIZA-led coalition government, a move that would delay and endanger the holding of a referendum for July 5.

Greek opposition parties are demanding the resignation of the government of PM Alexis Tsipras following his move to call a referendum on the latest bailout deal next Sunday.

Greece has completed five years of austerity just as popular “Game of Thrones” is in its fifth series and both the Greek crisis and the popular series have a great deal in common with politics, diplomatic games and danger lurking ahead. Of course, not even George R. R. Martin’s fantasy could have come up with as many cliff-hankers as Greece’s very real turmoil.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the ruling Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) retained a clear lead over the opposition, according to a barometer poll conducted by Public Issue and published in the Sunday edition of the leftist daily newspaper Avgi.
