Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his creditors sparred heading into Sunday’s referendum on austerity as a poll suggested voters are inclined to accept deeper cuts.
As rationing of pensions began in the first week of capital controls, a survey showed more Greeks going against the government’s call to vote against creditors’ terms for more aid. A late compromise bid by Tsipras, who’s urging citizens to vote “no,” was quashed by the rest of the euro region, meaning negotiations would have to wait until after the plebiscite.
