In a speech to
Syriza's central committee, Tsipras said a decision on the
party's strategy should not be made in a hurry but proposed a
referendum on Sunday if needed.
"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," he told the party.
"But 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,"
Tsipras said, referring to the day he accepted the bailout
agreement to avoid a Greek euro zone exit.
"If this is the case....then I suggest the party hold a
referendum on this crucial question."
