VOICED : Primer ministro griego anuncia referendum

In Athens, protests erupted against austerity measures as Greece faces a financial deadline to pay the IMF. The country needs over 7.2 billion euros from its blocked rescue program. European leaders offered to extend Greece's rescue program by five months with 12 billion euros in aid, contingent on reforms. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced a referendum for July 5 to decide on the EU's proposal, despite creditor pressure. The EU's aid is conditional on Greece accepting fiscal reforms, including privatizations and defense cuts, which the new leftist government opposes.
