Panayiotis Lafazanis, the Minister of Productive Reconstruction and Energy and leader of the roughly 30 MPs of the hardline ‘Left Platform’ raised the prospect of elections in the event that the government fails to secure an agreement acceptable to all wings of SYRIZA in an interview with the newspaper ‘Paraskinio’.
Saying that the governing left would not ‘humiliate itself’ he told the paper that if an agreement was put before parliament and was not supported by 30-40 SYRIZA MPs but passed with the support of opposition parties such as New Democracy, PASOK and To Potami then the solution would be to call snap elections.
With the lenders insisting on tough concessions from the government for any extension of Greece's bailout deal, it remains an open question if Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras can reach a deal that can be passed through parliament without defections from the governing coalition.
