The government is pushing for a "No" vote, rejecting they deal that they helped to negotiating, saying that it isn't acceptable to the country.
Greece is in a state of crisis currently, with shuttered banks, and limits of how much depositors can withdraw from cash machines. A "No" vote could push the country out of the eurozone entirely.
Here are some snippets of what Varoufakis said:
"If there's a yes vote then we will sign the agreement. We may have to reconfigure the government because some of us will not be able to stomach it. I will not sign another extend and pretend deal. But I will not scupper it."
When he was asked if he'll still be in his job if that happens, Varoufakis said "I will not. But I will help whoever is. There's no sense in speculating now."
Varoufakis also said "I'd rather cut my arm off" than sign up to a deal without debt restructuring - something the Syriza government wants, but much of the rest of Europe has refused so far.
