(108,903 posts)34. Germany Losing Patience With Spain as EU Warns on Crisis
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-24/germany-losing-patience-with-spain-on-aid-merkel-ally-says.html
Germanys governing coalition showed growing exasperation with Spain, as a senior ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel said Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy must stop prevaricating and decide whether Spain needs a full rescue.
He must spell out what the situation is, Michael Meister, finance spokesman for Merkels Christian Democratic Union, said in an interview in Berlin today. The fact hes not doing so shows Rajoy evidently has a communications problem. If he needs help he must say so.
Meisters comments underscore Europes crisis-fighting stalemate amid discord over a banking union, Greeces ongoing debate on how to meet bailout commitments and foot-dragging by Spain on a possible aid bid. European Union President Herman Van Rompuy warned today against a tendency of losing the sense of urgency in fighting the debt crisis three years after it erupted in Greece.
German patience is running out with Spain as it plays for time after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi offered help to lower borrowing costs in return for strict conditions.
