The ruling Syriza party has been split since Prime Minister Tsipras accepted a controversial bailout package that would force Greece to adopt austerity measures. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras Thursday called for an emergency congress next month for the Syriza party, in order to overcome major divisions. He also added that if members wanted a faster solution, a snap party referendum would also be acceptable. A rift has been growing within the ruling Syriza party since July 13, when the prime minister accepted a controversial bailout package from European creditors that would force the country to adopt strong austerity measures or face leaving the euro zone.
“I propose to the central committee to hold an emergency congress to discuss being in power as leftists, our strategy in the face of bailout conditions,” Tsipras told the 200-strong decision-making Syriza committee. “There is another view, which is respected, that doesn't accept the government's analysis and believes there was an alternative available in the early morning hours of July 13. If this is the case … then I suggest the party hold a referendum on this crucial question,” added the prime minister.

The deal with creditors was “not of our choice,” Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said, adding that Greece faced the dilemma between a difficult compromise and disorderly default.
Speaking to the Syriza committee in Athens Thursday, Tsipras tried to defend Greece’s €86 billion bailout deal with the international creditors, saying that Grexit was not a choice. It would have forced Athens into devaluation and going back to the IMF for support, he added.
“If someone believes another government could have brought back a better deal they should say so,” Kathimerini newspaper quoted Tsipras as saying.
