  • Grexit without support would have caused more austerity
  • there was no viable alternative to deal
  • unsuccessfully tried to find alternative financing
  • referendum gave no mandate for drachma
  • whoever thinks that another PM would do better should say so
  • proposes emergency Syriza party congress to take place in Sept

Tsipras- compromise better than default
