The eyes of the world have been in Greece in the days building up to the referendum, with the unfolding of events there likely to have implications far and wide. For many reporters on the ground it was difficult to assess how things would go in Sunday’s vote. Julien Neny, a journalist from the French iTELE channel, told Euronews: “It really was a surprise for the French journalists. Of course Greece is going to be much stronger in negotiations with the country’s creditors. “But it’s very difficult to say how things will go. It’s the first time this kind of referendum has been held in a country like this.”
Maria Casado, a Spanish television journalist from TVE, said: “I think today, July the 5th, 2015, is a historic day, not only for Greece but for the whole European Union. I also believe that with the “no” victory, the crucial thing now is what the answer will be from Europe.”
