Original post: Time is running out -- yet again -- for Greece. Athens is headed for a showdown with its creditors Tuesday after a resounding majority of Greeks voted against the austerity demands of international creditors Sunday, a landslide result for the leftist government. More than 61 percent of Greeks rejected the bailout terms, the Interior Ministry announced Sunday.

Eurogroup finance ministers will meet Tuesday at 13:00 local time in Brussels (7 a.m. EDT) ahead of an emergency summit meeting at 19:00 (1 p.m. EDT) to discuss the situation following the referendum in Greece over the weekend.

Economists fear a “Grexit” could ensue where Greece would leave the eurozone if Athens and its international creditors do not reach accord. However, Tsipras said Sunday the “no” vote is not a mandate to clash with Europe, and that the country is ready to continue negotiating with a plan of reforms, including pension cuts and tax hikes. The result, he said, would be a new bailout deal with better terms.

Yanis Varoufakis announced his surprise resignation from the finance minister's post Monday, and he was replaced by Euclid Tsakalotos, who previously served as minister for international economic affairs.

Athens defaulted on its debt payment of 1.6 billion euros ($1.8 billion) to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last week, risking the country’s place in the eurozone and sparking concerns Greece may exit the 19-member currency bloc.

Greece is renegotiating the terms of its $270 billion bailout program following January's election victory of the far-left Syriza Party. Before the national elections, the Syriza Party, led by Tsipras, had staged a revolt against budget cuts and other austerity measures mandated under the bailout. The previous conservative government of Greece had agreed to those bailout terms.

Talks between Greece and its international creditors have stalled multiple times in the last five months. Greece struck a deal with the European Union in February to get 7 billion euros ($8 billion) in extra bailout funds in exchange for economic reforms. The deal specified the funds would not be released until Tsipras’ leftist government submitted reform plans that were approved by the “troika,” -- the IMF, the European Central Bank and the European Commission.
