Greek rescue deal: political tumult beckons as Alexis Tsipras returns home

Some members of Greek prime minister's Syriza party have already denounced bailout accord as harbinger of further catastrophe

For the Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, the hard work begins now. The rescue deal hammered out in Brussels may have brought relief to Athens but its battle-hardened government knows that it also comes at enormous cost.

Within minutes of Tsipras giving his "victory" speech, some in his Syriza party were denouncing the bailout accord - the third emergency funding programme for the debt-stricken country since 2010 - as the harbinger of further catastrophe.
