Will a financial black hole engulf all?
29 April 20101El País Madrid
Let Greece leave the euro? Save Spain’s banks? Continue to stand fast on austerity, or give growth a chance? Plenty of questions that the leaders of the eurozone, meeting at the extraordinary summit on May 23, will have to find answers to if they want to preserve Europeans’ faith in the common project. 
Spain’s image sparkled and shone in the boom years – more than it deserved. Now, in the crisis, it’s unduly denigrated, argues El País. 
Following in the footsteps of Greece and Portugal, on 28 April, Spain saw its sovereign debt downgraded by ratings agency Standard & Poor’s. El País reports that the onslaught of negative sentiment on the markets is almost out of control.
