Greece's parliament has voted in favour of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' motion to hold a referendum on the country's creditor proposals for reforms in exchange for loans. In a speech before the vote, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said he was confident that "the Greek people will say an emphatic no to the ultimatum" by the country's creditors. The expression "emphatic no" is a reference to when Greek authorities declared "no" to an ultimatum by the Italian army demanding to occupy Greek territory in 1940.
