Spain's prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, accepts EU and IMF aid for recapitalizing Spain's banks. Rajoy tells a news conference in Spain on June 10th, 2012, "nobody pressured me," he did this because it would "help the credibility of the European project." The Partido Popular took decisive steps to improve Spain's competitiveness during the first 6 months of the new administration, but was caught by surprise by the problems in Bankia, a bank put together from failing cajas savings banks. The cajas savings banks were heavily involved in the housing bubble in Spain.

Spain's prime minister Mariano Rajoy's handling of the economic and banking crisis in Spain

09/28/2011

Rajoy's history cautiously embracing politics as Spain emerged from the Franco era, his father's advice to avoid politics after the searing experience of his grandfather in Galicia, the early years in Pontevedra, Galicia, and regional pride in Galicia, are described in Rajoy's book "En Confianza." Regional pride and the European experiment appear to be intertwined, just as Germany would like to see its political entity merged with a European entity, Spain would like to see its political entity merged with the European entity, because of a searing interwar period. Rajoy would genuinely like to see the European experiment go forward as he made the decision to accept EU aid.
