ATHENS, Greece — Caught between its own defiant campaign pledges and pressure from creditors, Greece’s left-wing government will deliver a list of reforms Tuesday to debt inspectors for final approval of extended rescue loans, officials said.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras already was facing dissent within his left-wing Syriza party over claims it is backtracking on its recent election-winning promises to ease budget cuts for the recession-battered Greeks.

Two officials linked to the government said the list will be sent to Brussels early Tuesday and be reviewed at a teleconference of the 19 eurozone finance ministers later in the day.

They spoke on condition of anonymity.

Greece and bailout creditors have been in a standoff since Tsipras’ party won general elections last month on a pledge to tear up bailout agreements and seek a massive write-off of bailout debts totaling $271 billion. The government official said reforms would focus on curbing tax evasion, corruption, smuggling and excessive bureaucracy.
