International financial institutions in addition to people concern success for your small anti-bailout gatherings could result in Greece reneging about the hard terms with the program, risking a tricky sovereign default as well as dragging that euro area back into this most severe crisis considering it's creation.
Euro zoom paymaster Germany has aware right now there can be "consequences" to an anti-bailout vote and also the EU along with IMF insist anyone who is victorious the election need to keep to that will austerity whenever they need to acquire the assist this retains Greece afloat.
