Buenos Aires (AFP) - A handful of countries across Latin America
congratulated Greece on its Sunday referendum in which voters rejected
creditors' austerity demands.
More than 60 percent of Greek voters said a resounding "No" to further
austerity measures in return for bailout funds in a Sunday referendum
that could see the country crash out of the eurozone.
Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, whose country defaulted on a
mountain of debt more than a decade ago, called the vote a victory.
"Greece: decisive victory for democracy and dignity," she wrote on
Facebook Sunday, expressing Argentina's "solidarity with the brave Greek
people and their government."
"We hope Europe and its leaders understand the message from the vote.
You cannot require anyone to sign their own death certificate," she
said.
Argentina defaulted on $100 billion in debt in 2001, and in recent years
has fought bitterly in the courts with investors who bought up some of
that debt at fire-sale prices.
Meanwhile, Evo Morales, Bolivia's leftist president, congratulated
Greece on Sunday, calling the referendum a defeat against "European
imperialism."
Morales, a harsh critic of free-market economies, said the referendum
was "the beginning of the liberation of the European people."
"I congratulate the great Greek people for the triumph of their 'no
vote' over debt, which is a defeat inflicted on European imperialism,"
he was quoted as saying by state-run news agency ABI.
Cuban President Raul Castro echoed the other leaders, congratulating
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras Monday in Granma, the official state
newspaper.
"I extend sincere congratulation for the 'No' victory in the Greek
referendum," he said.
"That result shows the Greek people's majority support for the brave
government policy over which you preside," he told Tsipras. | l*******o
