Bernie Sanders Applauds Greece for Voting "No" to More Austerity

http://mic.com/articles/121809/bernie-sanders-applauds-greece-for-voting-no-to-more-austerity

Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is claiming solidarity with the people of Greece for voting against harsh austerity measures on Sunday in a gripping referendum that captivated the world.

"I applaud the people of Greece for saying 'no' to more austerity for the the poor, the children, the sick and the elderly," Sanders said in a statement....

In his statement, Sanders expressed sympathy for Greece and praised its rejection of punitive austerity policies.

"In a world of massive wealth and income inequality, Europe must support Greece's efforts to build an economy which creates more jobs and income, not more unemployment and suffering," Sanders said.


Feel the Bern!

Expect it to be downplayed. Because if it's talked up it's not good news for the 1%.
