The Athens government says early elections are “likely” in Greece in the autumn, while the cash-strapped country is in talks with its international creditors on a new bailout deal.

“Elections are likely in the autumn,” Olga Gerovasili, the government spokeswoman, told Greece’s Vima radio on Wednesday, adding, “It mainly depends on how steady this government can be in the coming period.”

The remarks come as the country’s left-wing government, led by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, has seen its support dwindle in parliament after agreeing to reforms required to qualify for a third bailout worth of 86 billion euros (94.5 billion dollars).

More than 30 out of a total of 149 lawmakers from the ruling Syriza party refused to approve the reforms, including pension adjustments and tax increase, in two successive votes held on the sweeping austerity measures.

Meanwhile, in another development on Wednesday, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told AFP that the new bailout agreement is likely this month, hopefully by August 20, when the Mediterranean country must make a debt repayment to the European Central Bank (ECB).

“All the reports I am getting suggest an accord this month, preferably before the 20th,” Juncker said.

Nikos Fylis, a parliamentary spokesman for the Syriza party also noted on Wednesday that Athens wants to get a full bailout deal with its creditors in August, adding that the idea of an extension in the latest bailout negotiations was “off the table.”

Last month, Greece started a new round of talks over its third bailout with the so-called troika of international lenders – the ECB, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Commission.

Greece recently received a short-term loan of 7.16 billion euros (7.77 billion dollars) from the EU, which allowed the country to repay about two billion euros (2.2 billion dollars) of its debt to the IMF.

Athens has received two bailout packages worth a total of 240 billion euros (272 billion dollars) over the past five years.
