Fury has erupted on Twitter as tens of thousands of social media users are encouraging Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras to leave the summit of European leaders.
“ThisIsACoup is a hashtag started by Twitter users online, claiming that Europe’s ultimate goal in Greece is regime change and the pressure Europeans were exerting on Tsipras was meant to topple his government.
Already, our Twitter counter has counted more than 200,000 Tweets globally with the hashtag.

What’s remarkable about the movement is that although being fueled by Greeks, the hashtag is trending in Italy, Holland— even number 9 in Germany.

Could the Greeks for once stay united please when are they going to stop playing into the Germans hands?
The Germans have to give what they got after WWII they got more than half of their debt forgiven and restructured the balance how come no one is fighting for this?
We all know, you are never going to pay back our money, so what do you think we are, idiots?
All Greeks within Greece and throughout the diaspora need move in the direction of #Grexit and we can build a better Greece by taking control of it out. The waterboarding must end.
We need to stand behind Alexis Tsipras and not demand that he leave. Yes, he has been humiliated, but I am certain he knows if it’s best to stay or leave! Let’s do the right thing and SUPPORT TSIPRAS AND LET HIM MAKE THE BEST DECISION!! He will turn to the people and democracy if and when he needs to. Go Tsipras Go!
ARE WE REALLY DOING THE RIGHT THING HERE BY TELLING TSIPRAS WHAT TO DO??? I SAY WE ASK GAROUFAKIS FOR HIS OPINION.
OK Greece , don’t go away mad. just go away . Oh an no more Euros for you. C ya. wouldn’t want to be ya . don’t let the door hit you in the Azz on the way out
What a mature response.
Give us money!
You never should have loaned us money!
Give us more money!
It was wrong of you to loan us money like that.
Give us money!
You only loaned us that money to benefit yourself
Some more money?
Don’t expect us to be grateful. You forced those loans on us and only did it for your own benefit.
More loans!
We can’t pay back those loans.
More loans!
We have had a vote and decided that NO we won’t want any more loans.
Can you give us some more loans?
