    Greek PM resigns and calls for snap polls
    Credits:
  • Greek PM Alexis Tsipras announced his resignation and called for an early election.

    Tsipras said that he had a moral duty to go to polls after caving in to the creditors' bailout terms.

    Tsipras hopes to return to power stronger and the election will effectively be a referendum on him and his bailout agreement, which commits Greece to further years of stringent reforms.

  • After the Greece parliament's rejection of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's nominee for president in Dec 2014, the country went into elections in January 2015.

    The radical-left Syriza party headed by Alexis Tsipras who pledged to roll back austerity and renegotiate Greece's debt, swept the polls in the elections.

    Tsipras thus became the first radical left-wing Prime Minister of the debt-ridden nation.

    July 5 referendum

  • After long drawn negotiations, Greece agreed to tough reforms imposed by its European lenders in return for a bailout worth up to €86 billion.

    PM Tsipras who was against austerity and even won the elections based on an anti-austerity campaign, abandoned his promises to oblige the creditors.

    The bailout was agreed upon despite the resounding 'No' from Greek voters in the July 5 referendum.

    While parliament approves bailout, Tsipras faces dissent
  • As the Greek parliament approved the new bailout program, PM Tsipras was faced with a rebellion among lawmakers from his ruling Syriza party.

    Among the 149 members of the Syriza party in Parliament, 42 broke ranks with Mr. Tsipras, either by voting against the bailout or abstaining.

    The dissent from the party hardliners lead to the speculation that Tspiras would call a confidence vote.
