Spain: Our hardest hour
5 June 201213813 El País Madrid
On July 19, hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated against the austerity policies of the Mariano Rajoy government. Today, when a leap forward is needed, the trust between Spaniards and those who govern them has broken down, deplores sociologist Fernando Vallespín.
Let me get on with it – and trust me! In the midst of the European crisis, the German Chancellor’s usual approach has hit its limit. If she wants support for her policies, she first has to talk to all the people of Europe. 
The agreement reached in Brussels on the initiative of Spain and Italy means one thing: three and a half centuries after its birth by the treaties of Westphalia, the nation-state can only survive by delegating sovereignty. 
The European Council cannot afford the hunt for a new compromise in the short term, warns the European press. European leaders must take seriously the risk that the single currency will collapse – and with it, the EU. 
Twenty years ago, the explosion of the property bubble put the state deep into the red. But instead of imposing a radical austerity cure, the Swedes took on a heavy public spending deficit to mop up private debt. 
The current soap opera is far from being wrapped up by the bailout for Spain. We’re only at the 44th episode, and the main character of the whole series – Italy – has so far only been flitting furtively through the background. 
On strike since late May, Spanish miners have begun a march on Madrid in order to safeguard state subsides for the nation's coal mines. But in the midst of the eurozone crisis, their cause to save an old and struggling industry seems all but lost. 
This bedroom community northwest of Madrid symbolises the real estate lunacy behind Spain’s turn of the century financial bubble that is dragging down the country’s banking system today. Under a state repayment scheme, Pioz will need thousands of years to reimburse its creditors. 
Rumours have been rife for weeks, but it’s the British Daily Telegraph, at the close of the G20 summit in Mexico, that has smashed the taboo, revealing that Spain and Italy are on the verge of bailout. But is Mario Monti’s plan to use EFSF money to buy up debt really a bailout? 
Who should win the European football championship to save the single currency? Though some are hoping that victory would boost confidence in some countries, the real match-up – with all apologies to sports fans – is far from the pitches, warns SME. 
Banks and politicians are complicit in the banking disaster bank in Spain – and citizens will have to pay for the consequences. It’s a disgrace, angrily writes the director of Portugal’s Jornal de Negócios. 
For weeks the European press has been speculating, not about the possibility of a bailout for Spanish banks, but about the date when such an initiative would be announced. On 9 June, the government in Madrid finally submitted a request to the EU for assistance in recapitalising Spain’s financial sector, which is struggling to cope with bad property loans. 
After denying for weeks that the Spanish banking sector needed help, the Madrid government has gone to the EU with cap in hand. And to convince the Germans to go along, it played a clever bluff. 
Until this week, Madrid thought it would have to wait for the Greek elections before getting any help to solve its national bank crisis. But panic is now growing with no easy solution in sight. 
The planned high-speed train that was supposed to link Lisbon to Kiev will not be pulling away from the platform anytime soon. The crisis and the many obstacles on a route that promised to take travelers from the Atlantic to the Russian steppe mean that the European rail corridor has almost ground to halt. 
The crisis afflicting the economy and the banking system have led Spain to the brink. But the country’s problems, like those of Europe, have the same origins: the dominance of national interests. The solution? New institutions built on political voluntarism.
