With yesterday’s “no” vote against dramatic budget cuts, the question remains how the financially crippled nation is going to repay the €1.6 billion (£1.1bn) to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Artists Carlos Latuff, Martin Rowson, Daryl Cagle and Nath Paresh have taken varying viewpoints on the issue and look at who is to blame for the crisis and the resulting problems which have stemmed from it.
