Experts from the European Commission, the ECB and the IMF were expected in Athens on the 24 July 2015 for talks on a third bailout package (in the event the talks were delayed 'for logistical reasons'). Envoys from the ESM bailout organisation would also be attending. Prime minister Alexis Tsipras has no choice but to sit down at the table with the Troika again, some commentators said. Others think he would be forced to call new elections very soon.

Talks were re-scheduled to start on 28 July 2015, amid revelations of secret plans drawn by some sectors of the Syriza party which included a Grexit and the return of the drachma.

Ahead of a tough internal party meeting, Mr Tsipras warned rebels in his Syriza party that he could be forced to call early elections if he no longer has a parliamentary majority.
