The President of Argentina Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner congratulated the Greek people for the outcome of Sunday’s critical referendum, via her Facebook account.

The Argentine President noted that the result was an “outright victory of Democracy and Dignity” and expressed her solidarity towards the Greek people and government.

Her statement in full:

Greece: outright victory of Democracy and Dignity. The Greek people have said NO to the impossible and humiliating conditions imposed upon them for the restructuring of their foreign debt. We argentines understand what this is about and hope Europe and its leaders understand the message of the polls. Nobody can be asked to sign their own death certificate. The words of President Kirchner still resound at the UN General Assembly in 2003 he said: «The dead do not pay their debts.» On behalf of the People and Government of Argentina, our solidarity with the brave Greek people and their Government”.
