Greeks have begun queuing outside banks to withdraw money, fearful that credit controls could be imposed. On Tuesday, June 30, Greece faces a deadline to repay millions of dollars of debt to the IMF - and it won't be able to do that unless it gets a financial bailout from its creditors. The government of prime minister Alexis Tsipras has now said he'll call a referendum to ask the Greek people whether they'll accept the creditors' conditions. Marina Prentoulis is a UK spokesperson for Greece's governing Syriza party, and says that European democracy has been "destroyed" by institutions.
