Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told Greeks the problems they face because of closed banks «will not last long», saying he expected to clinch a new aid deal with creditors 48 hours after a Sunday referendum.
Tsipras told ANT1 television that scenes in Greece – queues at cash machines and a crush of elderly Greeks waiting hours for pensions – were «embarrassing», but he blamed Greece’s euro zone partners that forced the European Central Bank to freeze vital funding to the banks.
