And accept this however unfortunate it is the package from the european union. this prime minister is young and inexperienced. he governed a very radical faction. and they really miscalculated. they have alienated the germans and the united states. you see they dont have a single friend in the european union standing up for them. and he called for a no vote he urged the greek people to say no means that he thinks he can strengthen his negotiating position. al but the europeans arent going to bud...

Clear. if someone says that the government will have a stronger negotiating position with the no vote it is simply not true. i am afraid that with such a result of the referendum there will be even less space for negotiations. >> there is a great deal of uncertainty, to say the least. and, you know what does the average greek person think about this? our isa suarez has more on the mood of the streets of athens. >> reporter: in the harsh light of day, greeks take shelter from the new reality. hav...

Negotiating position with the "no" vote it is simply not true. i am afraid with such a result of the referendum there will be even less space for negotiations. >> cnns isa soares is athens following all the developments. weve seen people lining up at atms around the country, people trying to get their hands on their own money, but they are restricted in some fashion. what are you seeing in athens this morning? >> reporter: hello, good morning, george, pretty much the same thing. and when we came...
