The clear victory of the “no” ("OXI" in greek) vote in Sunday’s referendum unambiguously shows that Greek voters want an end to the austerity measures pushed for by Greece’s international creditors and eurozone partners. While largely welcoming this expression of democracy, the European press stresses that an agreement on a new aid plan is indispensable. 
It could not have gone worse, says political scientist Piero Ignazi: the most pessimistic predictions have all turned out to be true. Worse than that, they are past every limit. There is, in fact, no limit to the worse.

Following the victory of Greek radical left party Syriza in an early general election on 25 January, the European press asks what the continent’s first overtly anti-austerity government will mean for the Union. 
On 22 January the European Central Bank announced it will plough €1.1 trillion into the eurozone economy in an unprecedented bond-buying scheme to pump money into the eurozone and prevent deflation. The European press reacted both with enthusiasm and anger — depending on the country.
