The Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, said today that his government will be forced to call early elections if they do not recover the parliamentary majority it lost in the last two votes on the reforms demanded by creditors.

However, will try to convince members of his party who opposed the agreement with international lenders (European Commission, European Central Bank, the European Stability Mechanism and the International Monetary Fund) to return to support the Government on reforms that perspetivam.
However, the leader of the radical left party – which won legislative elections in January and chose 149 of the 300 deputies – acknowledged that the commitments of the “Brussels agreement” of July 13 led to a situation that could lead to early elections.
In two votes in parliament on the reform programs, that international creditors have demanded as a precondition for the start of talks on a third bailout valued at 86 billion euros for three years, more than 30 members of Syriza decided to vote against it.
The projects at issue ended up being approved with the votes of members of the Independent Greeks (Ring, coalition partner) and representatives of three opposition parties (New Democracy, Pasok and To Potami).
