The leader of the far-left rebel faction in Greece's ruling Syriza party called on Thursday for the founding of a new "movement" against the country's bailout programme, heralding the start of a possible breakaway party. Panagiotis Lafazanis, a former energy minister who was dropped from the post by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for voting against bailout reforms, is widely expected to split from Syriza with his far-left supporters. "The fight against the new bailout starts today, by mobilising people in every corner of the country," said a statement signed by Lafazanis and 11 other Syriza party members posted on the far-left faction's Iskra website.
