The
Central Committee of the ruling hard-left Radical Left Coalition
(Syriza) party will convene Thursday to consider an array of options,
from an emergency party congress in September to a party referendum on
whether to proceed with the negotiations for a third bailout.
Both proposals were made, one as the alternative to the other, by the party's Political committee which met Tuesday.
If the Central Committee agrees on the referendum, it will take place this coming weekend. The emergency congress will be staged in September.
The Left Platform, Syriza's dissident wing, which is against the agreement provisionally signed with Greece's creditors and which calls for Greece to leave the euro, has called for a "standing congress" this weekend.
The difference is that a "standing congress" will be attended by the delegates elected to the party's last regular congress, while an emergency congress requires the election of new delegates. Also, in this case, asomeone has to be a party member for two months before voting for deklegates or standing for election as one.
Syriza president and prime minister Alexis Tsipras is expected to indicate his preference in a radio interview Wednesday to the party's radio station Sto Kokkino.
