It was all but decided for Greece. Now the speculation is finally over. On Sunday, the country resoundingly rejected the terms proposed by international lenders that demanded further austerity measures to be put into place in order to bail out the debt-ridden economy.

The vote came as a victory for the country’s Prime Minister Alexis Tspiras who was campaigning against the terms proposed by the creditors. But it does puts a question mark at the future of the country as well as of the Europe amid fears that the contagion might spread to other weaker economies in the near future.

 

For now, however, it turns out that an overwhelming 61% majority of Greeks are against the terms and would prefer the country to move back to its previous non-euro currency, the drachma, even though this could mean isolation from the rest of the world for an economy that is in a dire need of funds to keep itself afloat.

The events of the past few months have made headlines not just in Greece but across the world. Noted Economist Paul Krugman, for example, wrote that the Greek “no” is a big win not just for Greece, but for the rest of the Europe as as well.  “I would argue that Europe, and the European idea, just won big - at least in the sense of dodging a bullet,” he wrote.

Cartoonists around the planet also had sharp views about the vote. Here’s a selection of some of the graphic work about the crisis.
