Greece set for vote after party rebellion

Bailout deal sees Syriza fracture and a confidence vote looming

The Greek government appears likely to call a confidence vote following a rebellion among members of the ruling Syriza party over the country’s new bailout deal.

Panos Skourletis, the energy minister, described such a parliamentary vote as “self-evident” following Friday’s rebellion when almost a third of Syriza deputies abstained or voted against the agreement.
