There is a report at Socialist Worker
http://socialistworker.org/2015/07/15/syriza-leaders-against-the-coup
As you probably know, this is a sign-on type statement, not a vote at a
meeting. They are demanding the convening of a Central Committee meeting.
Tsipras had promised he would take the new deal to Central Committee before
taking it to parliament but he is reneging now that he can't be sure of
winning Central Committee. This is very important because apparently it is
Syriza stricture (not governmental) that requires resignations from gov't
positions when individuals defy party positions. This action raises the
question that Tsipras' position is not the Syriza/party position.

There is a report on the Guardian’s live blog that 107 of 201 Syriza central
committee members have condemned the deal signed by the Tsipras government.
Any confirmation of this elsewhere?
Isn’t the logical outcome of these internal party tensions the expulsion or
departure of the Syriza left and the formation of a coalition between Tsipras
and the rest of the Syriza leadership with some combination of To Potami, New
Democracy, and Pasok = before or after a general election?
It’s impossible to believe the Tsipras leadership wasn’t anticipating this
outcome when it struck the deal with the eurozone - in fact, the day after the
referendum when it issued that joint statement with the opposition, or even
well before that.
If the Tsipras faction thinks the left is an annoying encumbrance and that they
can carry most of the party cadre and - more important from their POV, the
country - with them in the next election, they won’t be too bothered about
whether their current actions are in conflict with the formal party program,
wouldn’t you think?
