Spanish "trampas"

WHATEVER the €100 billion ($126 billion) made available by euro-zone countries to recapitalise Spain's banks looks like, the Spanish government would really rather not call it that. "In no way is this a rescue," said Luis de Guindos, Spain's economy minister, while announcing that a deal to rescue Spain's banks had been done in a two-and-a-half-hour conference call with the 17 euro-zone finance ministers on June 9th. "It's a loan with very favourable conditions." The prime minister, Mariano Rajoy (pictured above), who left his underling to front the bail-out, was meanwhile busy giving the impression that all was proceeding as normal. When he eventually appeared before the press the following day, Mr Rajoy made repeated reference to "what happened yesterday", as if the rescue were an embarrassing incident that, out of politeness, ought not to be mentioned by name. Then he flew to Poland to watch some football.

This was understandable, given the importance of confidence to banking, if slightly comical. Yet it was also emblematic of Spain's approach to its banking crisis, characterised by a mixture of bluster and denial that has ultimately proved to be self-defeating.
A hundred billion euros is at the high end of what is required ?. Should be enough to protect Spanish banks against further shocks ?
The president-constant-silence scares spanish citizens.

We are going again into: spanish bombs !!!
